Paris, Sep 13, 2006 -- At the 78th International Motor Show in Paris, Maybach is presenting its Model Maybach 57 S in a shining white paint finish for the first time.

Shining mother-of-pearl finish: Maybach 57 S in a shining white livery

In this way the tradition-laden German Maybach luxury brand is meeting the desire of one of its customers for even more individuality. In standard trim the sporty and luxurious Maybach Model 57 S is only available with a single-tone paint finish in either black or silver. The shining new "Antiqua White" finish impressively emphasises the dynamic character of this high-end luxury saloon, whose outstanding performance potential particularly captures the enthusiasm of passionate owner-drivers.

The white paint finish of the Maybach 57 S is applied in multiple layers by experienced specialists using a highly involved process – there are almost twice as many layers than is usual for other luxury cars. In contrast to conventional paint finishes using just one base paint to provide the colour tone, two different paints are necessary to achieve this incomparable, mother-of-pearl-like sheen – one of these contains mica. This highlighting material is responsible for the particular sheen of the paint finish, which varies slightly depending on the lighting angle and shines especially brightly in sunlight. The paint layers are mainly applied by hand, and several additional layers of clearcoat ensure a highly resistant finish.
