COLOR CODE224.910 - Midnight Blue MetallicLamborghini Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This color represents a rare moment of restraint for the brand. While the late nineties were famous for loud purples and oranges, this shade offered a sophisticated alternative for the Diablo. It is a deep, moody blue that looks almost black in the garage but wakes up with a sharp, silver-flecked shimmer when you pull it into the sun. Since your car has been on the road for over twenty-five years, the original finish has likely deepened. This color is excellent at hiding road grime, but because it is so dark, any deep scratches will stand out against the blue pigment.

Technical Details

This is a classic metallic finish. Unlike a solid color, it relies on tiny flakes suspended in the paint to catch the light. The risk here is mottling, which happens when those flakes cluster together and create dark, blotchy patches. If you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, the metallic particles will sink and ruin the uniform look. Before you spray or dab Lamborghini Midnight Blue Metallic (check for code 224.910), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to ensure those flakes are evenly distributed throughout the liquid.

Best Practices

You can usually find your paint ID tag on the firewall inside the engine compartment or tucked under the front trunk lid. To get a factory-quality repair, you must keep the container moving at all times. If you pause for even a second, you will end up with a dark ring that is impossible to buff out later. Test the color on the included card first to get a feel for the flow and to see how the flakes settle. Once the color is down and you have allowed for proper drying time, you will need a clear coat to protect the metallic bits and bring back that deep mirror reflection.
