Cadillac Black Diamond Edition Sparkles and Shines

Cadillac this spring will offer "Black Diamond Edition" of the high-performance CTS-V that comes with performance options and an exclusive tri-coat paint, also called "Black Diamond," that gives the car's exterior a metallic dimensional look.

In the CTS-V Black Diamond, a dark tri-coat paint is embedded with SpectraFlair Bright Silver pigment. Instead of simply containing small bits of metal, the SpectraFlair pigment in Black Diamond uses aluminum flakes encapsulated in a glass-like substance called magnesium fluoride. The result is a paint that has a diamond-like sparkle as light hits the surface from different angles.
