Lamborghini Cosmos Blue Metallic (224.909) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This shade represents the refined side of the Diablo era. While most 1997-1998 models were dressed in aggressive yellows or purples, this color offered a stealthy, professional alternative. It is a deep, ink-like navy that feels heavy and expensive. In low light, your car looks almost black, but direct sunlight pulls out a fine metallic grain that gives the bodywork a three-dimensional depth. It is a color for owners who prefer the roar of the V12 to do the talking instead of the paint.

Technical Details

This is a two-layer metallic finish, which means the silver flakes are suspended in a dark blue base. Dark metallics are notoriously temperamental. If you apply the paint too thick or too fast, the flakes will bunch up, creating dark clouds or blotches that ruin the finish. Because your car has likely been on the road for over twenty-five years, the original blue may have shifted slightly from UV exposure. You are looking for a balance: enough coverage to hide the damage, but thin enough layers to let the metallic flakes lay flat and catch the light correctly.

Best Practices

Locate your identification plate under the front hood or on the underside of the engine cover to confirm your specs. Before you spray or dab Lamborghini Cosmos Blue Metallic (check for code 224.909), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to wake up those settled metallic particles. Test the color on the included card before touching the car to ensure the flow is consistent. When applying, keep the container moving to avoid heavy spots that lead to metallic shadows. Work in a garage or the shade to ensure the paint does not dry too quickly, and allow ample drying time between each light pass.
