McLaren, through its personalized MSO division, will be providing purchasers of the 750S supercar with an exciting new customization option known as the Spectrum Theme. This feature allows customers to choose from three stunning colors: Spectrum Blue, Spectrum Orange, and Spectrum Gray. The unique appeal lies in the color spectrum-style fade pattern, achieved through the use of seven distinct shades of paint.
While color fades have already gained popularity in the tuning community, they are typically applied as printed wraps. However, McLaren has taken it a step further by expertly painting the fade directly onto the car’s surface, presenting a more complex yet aesthetically superior approach. Introducing the color spectrum aspect added new challenges to the process.
To execute the Spectrum Theme, McLaren had to develop exclusive paint blends for each of the seven shades, ensuring a seamless and natural-looking shift in color. Achieving the right balance of light and dark tones was crucial. The meticulous application of the paint was another obstacle, particularly due to the 750S’s unique shut lines and aerodynamic sculpting. The team at MSO faced specific difficulties with the door surfaces, which required utmost precision to maintain the harmony of the spectrum across the car’s remarkable bodywork, as explained by Michael McDonagh, MSO’s director.
Furthermore, the rear color of the car also boasts its own fade, similar to the simpler Velocity Theme fade seen in the previous 720S model. For the Spectrum Blue, Metallic Aurora Blue is used at the rear, while the Spectrum Orange features Gamma Red Metallic, and the Spectrum Gray uses Metallic Meteorite Gray.
Excitingly, McLaren plans to introduce more color spectrum-style fade options in the future, and they are also considering incorporating new fade patterns. However, the automaker has not yet confirmed if these additional options will be made available for models other than the 750S.
