A special badge has been developed that has been placed at the nose of the car. To create this one-off badge that says Elizabeth II, McLaren informed that its MSO and advanced coating partner AkzoNobel analysed different lighting conditions to define the most suitable metallic pigment combination. Following this, MSO’s paint developers then formulated the desired platinum composition which took eight days to complete that included durability and application testing.
