Now this one may be a bit controversial. And yes, this is a wrap, not actually painted over top of the original paint colour.
Some of you may remember back in 2013 when Deadmau5 had listed his ‘Purrari’ 458 Spider up for sale and was provided a cease-and-desist order from some top executives from Ferrari. This cease-and-desist order essentially ordered Deamau5 to remove the decals from his Ferrari, or risk being taken to court for legal action. All of this just because he decided to add his own artistic flair to a car he had purchased. What’s amazing about this story is two things.
Realizing that Ferrari is protective enough of their brand image that even tasteful modifications to the paint colour by a celebrity would not be tolerated
Realizing that you could own a Ferrari, but yet still not fully own a Ferrari
Fast forward to 2020 and here we are with some tasteful artwork on a Ferrari F430 by a rising artist Diogo Snow in spraypaint.
Before painting this F430 the car was completely wrapped in a matte black vinyl before having it prepped for painting.
If you’re in the Toronto area, you may have seen it around the downtown area, but the question remains - will it spark the same amount of attention Deadmau5 did with his 458 or has Ferrari changed it’s position?
