Premium paint

The exterior of your Maybach begins to express its unique aesthetic appeal and charisma in the paint shop. Layer by layer, the high-quality paint finish is applied by hand with the utmost care.

As always, quality – in every subtle nuance of colour – is the highest imperative: the paint finish 
of a Maybach protects the outer skin, making it weather-resistant and durable. At the same time, 
it enhances and highlights the lines of the body with its brilliance. Indeed, it is through the paintwork that the styling and the specific effect which you wish to create with your Maybach find their true expression as they define the appearance of the vehicle.

The thickness of each coat is calculated precisely on the basis of the purpose which it is to serve – providing optimal protection, for example. This extremely demanding and lengthy process begins with the body being immersed in a phosphating bath which causes the formation of zinc phosphate for optimal corrosion protection. The next stage, cathodic dip priming, ensures a high degree 
of weathering resistance. 
A functional layer is then applied in order to even out any microscopic irregularities and provide 
a perfect base for the subsequent coats of paint. This functional layer forms an extremely hard 
and resilient intermediate coat which protects the layers beneath it from stone chip damage. 
A coat of water-based paint is then applied on top of this layer with the greatest care.

One of the special features of the Maybach painting process is the use of an additional clearcoat. Once the first clearcoat has dried, it is roughened by hand and then covered with a second, high-gloss finished clearcoat. Other unmistakable features are the special shades found in 
the Maybach wide colour range: these have stronger pigmentation and contain more bronze particles than paints used in volume production. These qualities create the incomparable depth 
and brilliance which give your Maybach its special charisma.

Trim elements

The highest quality standards are also applied to the manufacture of your personal choice of trim elements that will embellish the interiors of your Maybach.

Attention to detail, dexterity and a thorough understanding of the high-quality materials used result in the creation of exquisite and harmonious enhancements for the interior of your Maybach.

By applying your personal preferences to the choice of the trim elements – made from the finest wood coming, for example, from California and Indonesia – you define an important aspect 
of the look and feel of the interior of the vehicle. 
The items you have requested are then manufactured with the greatest care and precision 
by experienced specialists in a long process which calls for exceptional skills.

The trim elements used in your Maybach are unique items which complement the refined ambience of the interior. Layer after layer of veneers, are built up to form elements which are tailored to fit your automobile perfectly. The colour shades and the details of the wood grain or stone vein patterns are checked with the greatest care before the veneers are matched to your Maybach and fitted by hand.

The trim elements consist of up to sixty-one not visible layers as well as a final wood, stone, piano lacquer or carbon fibre layer and a clearcoat finish. High-precision grinding and polishing as well as painstaking lacquering enhance the distinctive surfaces with a lasting brilliance. 
It takes several weeks for all the trim elements to be hand-crafted by the specialists 
at the Maybach Manufaktur.
