Lamborghini Blu Flip Flop (PPG 194985) (47) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This color captures the peak of the Diablo era, specifically the legendary VT 6.0 and GT models. It is an iridescent, shifting shade that defines the turn of the millennium for the brand. Because your car has spent over two decades on the road, the original finish has likely developed its own character from sun exposure and heat. This isn't just a simple blue; it is a complex, high-energy pigment that transitions between deep azure and teal depending on how the light hits the angles of the bodywork.

Technical Details

This is a pearlescent finish, which means the look relies entirely on how the mica flakes lay down on the surface. These flakes are heavier than the paint itself and tend to sink to the bottom of the container. If you do not mix it thoroughly, the color will look dull or inconsistent. Be careful with your application; if you linger too long in one spot, the pearls will cluster and create dark patches or stripes. This "mottling" happens because the flakes haven't been distributed evenly, so you must maintain a steady, consistent flow to keep the finish looking uniform across the repair.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Lamborghini Blu Flip Flop (PPG 194985) (check for code 47), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. You can usually find your paint code sticker on the underside of the front luggage compartment lid or mounted on the firewall inside the engine bay. To ensure the pearls are suspended correctly, shake the container vigorously until you hear the mixing ball rattling freely. Always test the color on the included card before moving to the car. Whether you are using a nozzle or a brush, keep the container moving to prevent the metallic elements from pooling in the scratches. Work in a cool garage or the shade to give the paint plenty of drying time between thin layers.
