Supercars Of London reveals gorgeous $50,000 Lamborghini restoration YouTube: SOL – Supercars Of LondonOwning a supercar is expensive at the best of time, but then restoring, painting, and protecting a supercar adds a mammoth amount to the cost of ownership, as Paul Wallace \u2013 SupercarsOfLondon \u2013 explains in his latest video. The process of buying and owning a supercar is a \u2018bucket list\u2019 item for almost any petrolhead, but few realize the additional costs of restoring and protecting their pride-and-joy. Fresh from a thorough restoration, Paul\u2019s Lamborghini Murcielago enters the final stage of its factory-fresh overhaul at NVN London. Taking us behind the scenes of this high-end facility in London; Paul gives us an inside look at how the super-rich keep their supercars looking their best and how they protect them from everyday dirt, damage, and weather. So clean you could eat your dinner off it Despite being fresh from its $32,000 respray, the paintwork on the Lamborghini needed a full decontamination wash and detail before laying the Paint Protection Film (PPF) over the top of the paintwork. Paul explained the need for this meticulous attention to detail by using an analogy many of us will be familiar with: \u201cImagine having a speck of dust on your iPhone as you lay a screen protector on; You get this little air bubble [from the dust]\u201d \u2013 Should the car have any dirt left on it, it would poke up and cause imperfections in the PPF film. The PPF film is then cut from a custom-made template, before being laid onto the car. With the edges specifically made to \u2018tuck\u2019 underneath each panel, the result is a flawless high-gloss finish that improves the paintwork and protects the car. Over 11 months in the making Breaking down the cost in the video, Paul explains that the paintwork alone cost $32,000. Initially starting out as a \u2018paint restoration\u2019 he now considers the car to have had so much work done, it qualifies as a full-on restoration project to bring the Murcielago back to factory-fresh spec. Alongside the paintwork, the \u2018Murcie\u2019 also received over $15,700 on upgrade and replacement parts, including a whopping 250 man-hours of work. This is in addition to the 500 man-hours of work on the paint alone, bringing the project to a total of around 750 hours of labor. With the total cost hovering around the $50,000 mark, Paul reveals that he may now be looking to sell the Murcielago to fund his next project, stating it is the \u201cright time\u201d to do so. After so many hours and with so much money invested in the car, hopefully, it will be an easy sale for him when the time comes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
