Diamonds are forever, Just ask Gemballa
German Tuning company now offering new automotive finish that uses diamonds, literally.

GEMBALLA's Ultimate Automotive Finish is a Genuine Diamond Coating

Diamonds may be considered "a girl's best friend", but now premier automotive tuner, GEMBALLA, has created a very special "gem" that should be equally attractive to both ladies and gentlemen of sophistication. This is the world's first diamond coating for the interior and exterior finish of vehicles. More than just a special paint, this technically elaborate and exacting diamond finish is hard to beat in terms of exclusivity.

"When GEMBALLA speaks of diamonds, we really mean it", explains CEO Andreas Schwarz. "Our complex process uses genuine diamonds as its key ingredient - not metal pigments, glass fragments, or crystals."

Apart from having the strongest light refraction properties of all the precious stones, which explains their seductive twinkle, diamonds are one of the hardest naturally occurring substances known to man. The word 'diamond' means 'invincable' and speaks volumes by itself.

The requirement that the coating had to be applied like paint defined the dimensional limit of each individual gemstone. The challenge for GEMBALLA was to grind the diamonds into a size small enough for their intended purpose, without losing their brilliance. Since a diamond reflects light according to the number of facets showing, this actually turned out to be an advantage. The greater the number of stones present in a given area, the greater the refractive surface, so the thousands of facets reflecting the light through the innovative GEMBALLA process creates an incomparable shine.

With a company philosophy that has always been focused on the ultimate and the best, this new diamond finish fits the GEMBALLA portfolio perfectly. And as diamonds are a form of carbon formed under extreme heat and pressure, they are the perfect finishing touch for the carbon-fibre bodywork of GEMBALLA's ultra-exclusive cars.

huh oook that is the most useless expensive thing i have see today... no thank you

 

So if you crash two into eachother, do you get teleported to Kansas?

A dumb idea, not to mention a definite safety hazard. Can't imagine being blinded by one of those on a sunny day.

 

Anyone who buys this should be given a higher tax bracket

 

Oh, more tackiness is possible.

 

first thing that came to my mind when i read the title was. South africa, Blood diamonds.

 

Good luck to the detailer that has to polish a paint as hard as diamonds

 

Which car is this intended for? Lux, sportz, xedanz?
