Matte white color code of the LP560 Gallardo
EDIT May 15th
thanks to your help guys I managed to get the proper color code (PPG 224009) and went with a semi-gloss clearcoat over the base white to give it a satin look and finish. There's a few pics on page 4, but still waiting for a few more parts for a full photoshoot that will really do the color justice
newbie here just wondering if I could bug you Lambo experts for the color code for that Matte or Flat white the new Gallardo LP560 has. I've been lookin all over the net I can't find it.
Quick question as well, would regular Lambo White (or Balloon White if I'm not mistaken) that comes on the LP640's minus the clear coat come fresh out the paint shop the same as this matte white on the 560 ??
here's a pic of what I'm talking about.

all the colors you guys mentioned are nice and are on my list, but I'm really liking the matte white simply because the matte black has been over done already. The new matter grey from the reventon would be my second choice after the white however.
anybody have an answer to my question or actually know where I can get the color codes ?

The Matte White is the same Balloon White; just with a Satin clear-coat instead of High Gloss. The only downside is that it is being decided whether or not to make it a $20,000 or $30,000 option.

^ yea I thought that may have been the case, I figured it was the same balloon white but without a clear coat. So satin clear coat then, sounds good ! thanks
now where can I find the color code for the balloon white ?

why doesn't someone try helping the OP instead of commenting on the color? Sigh..
OP - I would try calling a dealership, I am sure they could look it up for you. Have you tried this already?

the MATTE PEARL WHITE is gorgeous...I would love the paint code on that.
sorry for the hijack...but..
are you guys saying all you need for that look is paint the car but instead of a regular "shiny" clear coat, you tell your paint guy to spray it with a matte or satin finish clear coat?
