The reason why exposed carbon fiber on Hyper cars is SO damn expensive is because EVERY SINGLE body panel has to match the carbon fiber wave and pattern, it's a VERY hard thing to do, with paint you don't have to worry about any kind of imperfections, but if there is a little thing wrong with exposed carbon fiber, you have to make the whole panel again.

[@christopherbassit2757]

That’s why forged is nice

[@qsherman7237]

Still worry about imperfections on paint. Carbon Fibers still need epoxy that attracts debris as well. I do not envy that situation one bit.

[@Asatora]

I believe last time they talked about this they failed to address that detail and someone explained the exact same thing in the comments, and it got a fairly high amount of upvotes. Once again they touch upon this subject and fail to either learn or acknowledge this fact and once again someone points it out in the comments. Maybe next time they'll include it in the video... 3rd time is the charm

[@camdynd.3374]

I was wondering too if it’s difficult to properly preserve the composite pieces because composites degrade in sunlight similar to plastics. If there’s not a strong UV protectant on there, those panels start looking a little rough after a few years… but I suppose most of these cars aren’t outside much lol

[@ryans_myth]

There's no way the diamonds weighed a total of 2.5k. It'd basically be dust already. My guess is they used 1000 diamonds between .2-1k. That would put the paint in the $1-2 million range. Although, saying it takes 1000 diamonds could also mean they purchased the dust like Nolan said, significantly reducing the price. Alternatively, they could be lab-grown diamonds. Which would offer the same quality at a 30-50% discount. My guess is the diamonds alone cost $500,000-$1,000,000

[@Garriffic]

Chat GPT didn't understand what Nolan asked, which was for the price of 1000 * 0.25ct diamonds. So, if they only needed 250ct of diamond dust to paint the car, I found a vendor that sells 5ct of diamond dust for $40 USD. That would be $2000. Even if they needed 1000ct of dust, it would only be $8000. I guess they could have sourced expensive diamonds to crush, but they wouldn't have been diamonds that were already cut, polished, and graded (which is where much of the cost of the diamond comes from). I wouldn't be surprised if they really used $2000-$8000 in diamond dust with an exorbitant markup, which seems par for the course with the auto industry (especially the hyper-luxury segment).

[@megimargareth4015]

​@@Garriffic you forgot about the development cost to make the paint arent abrasive to your hand when touched, remember diamond arent grind-able without another diamond, plusss the hand painted stripe with squirrels hair is cost a lot too, since you basically purchasing an art, lol

[@megimargareth4015]

@garetht677 welp imma say the truth that i dont know what development that they needed or do, but they say its have the manually stripe cost 360k And if you say thats nonsense for a manually painted strip cost 360k, yeah its slightly a bit expensive imo But you just mad you cant freely throw that amount of money lmeo

[@felipeastaburuaga8040]

I know by fact, (because I know the guy) that those diamonds were "free!"..... because the whole idea behind the Paintjob was to use "the owners own materials that made him rich", he owns one of the biggest diamond mines in Africa .

[@strayiggytv]

@@megimargareth4015 the old argument of you're just jealous is so brain dead. I think the paint is stupid and waste of resources. I'm not mad that I can't afford it because even if could I wouldn't want it. If somebody told me they spent that on car paint I'd ask how they managed to afford it when their mentality is that of a childs. People don't have to be impressed by wildly expensive stuff when you reach a point where the expense is giving you nothing tangible of value beyond what normal high end car paint would. It's like flake gold used to decorate a cake. It's all sh1t in the end.

[@techn1kal1ty]

My brother painted the cars in the Autopia Disneyland ride years ago, and saved enough of the custom green-base ChromaLusion paint to paint his Jeep Cherokee. It was $4000/gallon at the time, and I believe he had separate insurance coverage on the paint.

[@darthvaydor6716]

4K a gallon?!

[@Tombichrist110]

From what I understand with the exposed carbon on the Jesko, part of the added cost is that they have to spend extra time making sure all the lines of carbon flow correctly and don't have any flaws to the pattern

[@shannacollins4741]

Yeah that naked carbon is hard to get right cause they have to sand it down the exact same over the whole car and if they mess up in one little spot the whole panel is ruined so its a HELL OF A JOB TO HAVE !

[@joealex65]

Not only that, every body panel has to match the carbon fiber wave and pattern, it has to be 100% perfect and it's a very hard job.

[@zesidil]

@@joealex65 Yeah they need to get the perfect weave patterns, and the "Defects" go to the painted carbon parts, and also often need to change the weave density to match making the parts even more time consuming with larger margins of error.

When they got done with the job, they would throw what was left into a gallon paint can. A while back, we found the can and opened it up. It was a ranbow of liquid glitter! Delute it down, spray it on a car, and that thing would out shine a diamond.

[@rahulsudhir666]

The exposed carbon option costs so much primarily because they have to make sure that the panels have to absolutely perfect since it cant be hidden with paint. The other main factor is that the stripe patterns meet right at the centre to form a "V" pattern right along the centre of the whole car n the stripes technically continue in the exact same direction through the different panels. So they have to spend alot of time aligning n calculating the expansion before the raw product is put in the autoclave. Add the cost of ensuring the tint remains uniform throughout the length n width of the car n that equals to hundreds of man hours just on the exterior. Most of the cars tend to have the effects carried through to the interior as well n in cars like the Koenigsegg n Pagani these patterns match on minute things like strut braces, engine braces, engine cover, the spoilers, mirrors, n even on elements that will be visible only if you really were to take panels off the car. On the McLaren P1, the exposed carbon option was worth it because the cars with that spec usually command at least 5-600k USD over the "normal" painted cars.

If I recall correctly the bare carbon price from the Jesko is also due to that they perfectly line up the carbon strands from panel to panel and it is completely symmetrical side to side.
