It's a car finish made from crushed diamonds.</p> <p>"When Gemballa speaks of diamonds, we really mean it", says CEO Andreas Schwarz. "Our complex process uses genuine diamonds as its key ingredient – not metal pigments, glass fragments, or crystals."</p> <p>Gemballa's challenge was to crush the diamonds small enough that they could be applied fluidly like paint while still maintaining their sparkle ... because what good is having diamond paint if people can't see it from a mile down the highway? According to the tuner, grinding stones into a fine powder actually helps to increase shine, thanks to the innumerable reflective facets of the ground stones.</p> <p>Gemballa hasn't elaborated on where we might see an actual application of the diamond finish, but it does mention that due to the diamond's carbon makeup, it will make for a natural accent atop carbon fiber body work. It also says that the finish can be applied on both the exterior and interior. We have a feeling a Mirage GT Diamond Edition is deep in the works.</p> <p>So yes, Gemballa is dedicating some of the world's most beautiful, sought-after precious stones toward making its paint extra sparkly. Just one more way for the rich to feel all warm and privileged inside, we suppose.</p> <p>Source: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20121119113936/http://www.gemballa.com/" target="_blank">Gemballa</a> via <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20121119113936/http://www.worldcarfans.com/112052444696/gemballa-introduces-diamond-coating" target="_blank">World Car Fans</a></p> <!-- INTEL BANNER --> <!-- stumbleupon_recommended --> <div id="bottom_unit"> <script type="text/javascript"><!-- adstage = '2'; google_ad_client = 'pub-1607124478120364'; google_ad_output = 'js'; google_ad_channel = '5541773889+7414841517'; google_max_num_ads = '1'; google_skip = google_adnum; google_feedback = 'on'; google_ad_type = 'text'; google_image_size = '300x250'; //--> </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20121119113936js_/http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"></script> </div> </div> <!-- FM Content Well Zone Zone --> <!-- <script type='text/javascript' src='http://static.fmpub.net/zone/7980'></script> --> <span class="title share_bar">Share</span> <div id="article_share_bar" class="dotsontop share_bar"> <div class="as_button fb_as_button"><div class="fb-like" data-href="http://www.gizmag.com/gemballa-diamond-car-coating/22680/" data-send="false" data-layout="box_count" data-show-faces="false"></div><script type="text/javascript">_ga.trackFacebook();</script></div> <div class="as_button"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20121119113936/http://twitter.com/share" class="twitter-share-button" data-count="vertical" data-via="gizmag">Tweet</a></div> <div class="as_button"><div class="g-plusone" data-size="tall" data-href="http://www.gizmag.com/gemballa-diamond-car-coating/22680/"></div></div> <div class="as_button"><iframe style="overflow: hidden; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; " src="https://web.archive.org/web/20121119113936if_/http://badge.stumbleupon.com/badge/embed/5/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gizmag.com%2Fgemballa-diamond-car-coating%2F22680%2F" width="50" height="60" id="iframe-stmblpn-widget-2"></iframe></div> <div class="as_button"><div class="pin-it-button" data-url="https://web.archive.org/web/20121119113936oe_/http://www.gizmag.com/gemballa-diamond-car-coating/22680/" data-image="http://images.gizmag.com/hero/gemballadiamondfinish.jpg" data-description="Gemballa is introducing what it calls the world's first diamond finish, a vehicle paint made from real diamonds.

The saying 'Diamonds are a girls best friend' is nothing more than a marketing champaign for the diamonds found in the ground by slave children and marked after cut with a brand name. I really get the feeling this is nothing more than a promo exercise from the diamond industry, the glorification of carbon. </p> <span class="name">Jugen</span><br> <span class="date"> 26th May, 2012 @ 06:05 am PDT</span> </div> <div id="comment-135400" class="a_comment"> <p>Looks like glitter.

There are many applications for diamond dust already. Something has to be done with all of the junk leftover after the millions of new diamonds cut every year for jewelry and larger applications. Also, there are many, many, many diamonds of too-low of a quality to use in jewelry, so they can be used for this type of application. </p> <span class="name">Dave Andrews</span><br> <span
