New for 2026. I've never seen a $4000 paint option. Does anybody know what makes this paint color so expensive? Does it have real flakes of real gold and titanium in it?

Well,

That's the color that is on my truck. Its a really nice color. I drove 70 miles to get a truck that wasn't black. I generally wont pay for paint, but it seemed like part of the package as it was the same price as all the black ones that surrounded me. Everyone who sees it says the paint is beautiful. They really gush. I think its nice. But no I don't think it has actual rare metals, even though that price suggests it. heh.

It stood up really well to some pretty aggressive trail branches and such. So maybe the extra coats help. who knows. Everything buffed out with speedwipe. The passenger mirror on the other hand, is going to require more attention.

With peace.

Would love to see some photos out in the sun.

A relative of mine had a very expensive audi and paid more than that for a special burgundy paint that changes depending on lighting and angle.
I had a 2019 F150 with the Magma Red that changes, one minute looks burgundy red, the next black. $0.00
Parked next to each other the paint jobs were remarkably similar.
Just a photo I found online
