Lamborghini Super Fly Yellow (231.233) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This is the high-voltage shade that defined the poster-car era of the late nineties. While it appeared on various models, it is most famous for draped over the aggressive lines of the Diablo SV and VT. Because your car has likely been on the road since 1997 or 1998, the original finish has probably faced years of UV exposure, which can slightly shift the vibrance of the factory paint. This color is unapologetically loud and serves as the benchmark for what a supercar should look like in the sun.

Technical Details

This is a solid finish, which means it lacks the metallic flakes or pearls found in modern supercar palettes. Solid yellows are notoriously difficult because the pigments are naturally transparent. If you try to cover a dark scratch or a grey primer with a single heavy coat, the result will look muddy or greenish. It relies on a clean, light base to reflect light correctly. Because there is no flake to hide your movements, any unevenness in how you apply the layers will be visible to the naked eye.

Best Practices

You can usually find your paint ID sticker located under the front hood on the firewall, though sometimes it is tucked away in the engine compartment. Before you spray or dab Lamborghini Super Fly Yellow (check for code 231.233), you need to shake the container for at least sixty seconds to properly distribute the heavy yellow pigments. Test the color on the included card to see how many layers you need to achieve full opacity. When applying, keep the container moving to prevent the paint from pooling in one spot. Give each thin layer plenty of drying time before adding the next to ensure the brightest possible finish.
