Lamborghini White Mica Tricoat (PPG 224009) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This color is the gold standard for Italian exotic finishes. It has graced every major model from the Gallardo to the Urus since 2009, providing a depth that a standard flat white cannot match. It does not just sit on the surface of your car; it catches the light and creates a soft glow around the sharp edges of the bodywork. Because your car has likely been exposed to the elements for a few years, the original finish might have developed a slightly warmer tone, so keep that in mind as you prepare your repair.

Technical Details

This is a pearl mica tricoat, which is one of the more complex finishes to get right. Unlike a metallic that uses aluminum flakes, this mica finish uses translucent mineral crystals to reflect light. This means the final color depends entirely on the thickness of your layers. If you apply the mica layer too heavily, the repair will look yellow or creamy compared to the rest of the panel. If you go too light, the repair will look like a flat, dull white spot. It is a balancing act that requires patience.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Lamborghini White Mica Tricoat (check for code PPG 224009), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. You can usually find your paint code sticker on the underside of the front hood or near the firewall in the front compartment, though Urus owners should check the spare tire well. Always test the color on the included card to see how many layers of pearl you need to match your specific car. Work in a cool garage or the shade to keep the paint from drying too fast. When applying, keep the container moving and use very light, thin coats. Allow enough drying time between layers so the mica doesn't clump together and create dark spots.
