Lamborghini Bright Red (0059) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This is the high-voltage shade that defined the poster-car era for the Murcielago and the early Gallardo. It is a loud, unapologetic signal of speed that helped shift the brand into its modern, sharp-edged design language. Since your car has likely seen a lot of pavement since 2005, you know that this red is not just a color; it is the car's entire personality. It is a pure, classic red that feels right at home in a bright garage or under the midday sun, making the car look like it is moving even when the engine is off.

Technical Details

This finish is a solid, which means it lacks the metallic flakes or pearls that other exotic colors use to hide imperfections. Solid colors are honest-they offer deep, liquid-like reflections, but they also show every ripple in the bodywork. Because red pigments are heavy, they can settle at the bottom of the container. Before you spray or dab Lamborghini Bright Red (check for code 0059), you need to shake it for at least 60 seconds to ensure the color is uniform. Red is also sensitive to UV light, so if your car has spent its life in the sun, the original paint might be slightly lighter than the fresh pigment in your hands.

Best Practices

You can find your color ID tag on a silver or white sticker located under the front hood on the firewall or the underside of the lid. Before you start the repair, test the color on the included card to see how it matches your current paint in the shade. When you are ready to apply, keep the container moving to avoid any heavy buildup that might lead to sags. Solid reds often require a few thin layers to build up full opacity, so be patient. Respect the drying time between these layers; if you rush and apply the next coat too soon, you might trap solvents that can dull the final shine.
