We haven’t seen this deep metalflake paint on any hypercar.

Coco Chanel, the iconic French fashion designer, once said that luxury was the opposite of vulgarity. We are still unsure if this sparkly Bugatti is vulgar.

It’s easy to see the paint right away. Supercar Blondie explains that the Japanese owner had a friend who created the flakes for the brightly colored paint. Bugatti named the paint after him.

Anyone who has ever seen a fiberglass kitcar from the 1970s, a custom lowrider of the 1980s or a bass fishing vessel from the 1990s has probably seen metalflake paint jobs such as this many times. It’s a unique experience to see it on a hypercar, but we aren’t sure if it’s too intense.

The orange contrast interior is a saving grace, as it naturally offsets the blue. Supercar Blondie claims that the owner ordered several options for his Chiron (including the expensive bass-boat paint job). Some of these options are very nice.

The classic Bugatti font is used for the brake calipers, which are then painted to match the interior. The spoiler’s underside, also in orange has a large facsimile Ettore Bugatti signature. While the mirrors are adorned with small French flags, they have small French flags.

We appreciate all the references to Bugatti’s prewar racing heritage, down to the choice of exterior paint color. We aren’t sure what to make of that metalflake. It would be great to see it in the sunlight, but the owner apparently doesn’t take this rare car out very often so we might never get to see it. We wouldn’t have known this car existed without Supercar Blondie.
