Lamborghini Giallo Halys (LY1K) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This color represents the raw energy of the early 2000s, serving as a signature launch shade for the Gallardo and the Murcielago. It is a high-visibility, unapologetic yellow that captures the aggressive spirit of the Sant'Agata factory before pearl finishes became the standard. Since your car has likely spent two decades turning heads, the paint may have brightened or shifted slightly depending on how much time it spent in the sun. This is a bold choice that demands a clean surface because it provides nowhere for imperfections to hide.

Technical Details

This is a solid finish, meaning it contains no metallic flake or pearl dust. While this makes the texture easier to match with a touch-up tool, solid yellows are notoriously honest and can be somewhat translucent. If you apply it too thin, the primer color underneath might show through and make the repair look dull. If you apply it too thick, the yellow can appear slightly darker than the surrounding panel. You will need to build the color in light, even layers to achieve the correct depth and match the factory vibrance.

Best Practices

You can find your color ID on a small silver sticker located on the firewall inside the front luggage compartment or attached to the underside of the engine cover. Before you spray or dab Lamborghini Giallo Halys (check for code LY1K), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to ensure the heavy yellow pigments are fully mixed. Test the color on the included card to verify the shade against your bodywork before you begin. If you are working in a garage or the shade, keep the container moving to prevent the paint from pooling. Allow ample drying time between each thin coat to ensure the finish remains level and sharp.
