We Are Such Assholes: This Rolls Royce Is Painted With The Dust Of 1,000 Ground Up Diamonds

Money CNN- Keep the shopping carts at a distance, please. You really don’t want to scratch the paint on this particular Rolls-Royce Ghost, which is finished with a paint that contains diamond dust. The paint contains the dust of 1,000 ground up diamonds — “ethically sourced” diamonds, the company notes — which gives the car a unique sparkle. Rolls-Royce won’t say how much the paint job cost, beyond the fact that it’s the most expensive they’ve ever done, because it was commissioned by a private buyer. This isn’t an option you’ll hear about at your local Rolls dealership. The car, named “Elegance,” was unveiled at this week’s Geneva Motor Show. The top part of the two-tone car is painted in a dark gray while the lower parts are a lighter gray In shadow, they look like simply dark and light gray car paint. But when light hits the car it shimmers with tiny sparkles, even more so than you would see with a metallic paint.

The newest edition of We Are Such Assholes has arrived! Diamond dust car paint on a Rolls Rocye! So I don’t know if this is a new thing or not but I saw it for the first time yesterday. A Rolls Royce painted with the dust from 1,000 ground up diamonds. Read that again. It’s a Rolls Royce painted with the dust from 1,000 ground up diamonds. Such an absurd thing to have painted onto a car that it feels fake. Like you wouldn’t hear something that absurd in the most luxurious luxury rap song. The Rolls Royce being super expensive wasn’t enough? What’s next? The tears of 5,000 homeless people? That doesn’t feel out of the realm of possibility now that 1,000 ground up diamonds are in play. I will say this, that car can never be taken out of the garage. Never ever. That is for showroom purposes only. Cause if any of us normal people catch wind of the diamond dust car hitting the streets, we’re keying it, throwing eggs at it and maybe evacuating our bowels onto it. I’m talking Cersei Lannister-shame-walking-through-the-street type of stuff. Absolutely insane.
