# Blinged-Out Car Paint The Gemballa Diamond Coating Makes Vehicles Sparkle By Sarah Moore | Published 2012-06-01 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gemballa-diamond-coating References: [gizmag](http://www.gizmag.com/gemballa-diamond-car-coating/22680/) & [gemballa](http://www.gemballa.com/) Forget sporting ultra luxe gems on your fingers and necklaces, as an iced-out vehicle constructed from Gemballa diamond coating is the new way to showcase your opulence. The German-based company has previously made a splash with its [gold-infused Mirage GT Gold Edition](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bentley), but it has now taken the bling factor up a notch by creating a car finish that is made from [crushed-up diamonds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skydiamond). By breaking down the stone into fragments small enough to be applied like paint, the [luxury design house](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modified-luxury-vehicle) created a material that effectively coats the car body without losing any of the glimmer and shine that makes the diamond such a precious stone. While there is no word yet of a car being designed to showcase this finish, the company has certainly developed a showy way to flaunt one’s wealth. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 12% | Activity: 49% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Blinged-out Car Paint:** Opportunity: Disruptive innovation in the automotive industry by offering a unique and luxurious car finish made from crushed-up diamonds. - **Luxury Material Innovation:** Opportunity: Disruptive innovation in the materials industry by developing new ways to incorporate high-value materials, such as diamonds, into consumer products. - **Extravagant Personalization:** Opportunity: Disruptive innovation in the luxury goods industry by offering extravagant customization options, such as Gemballa diamond coating, to affluent consumers. ### Where This Applies - **Automotive:** Opportunity: Automakers can collaborate with Gemballa or develop their own luxurious car finishes to cater to high-end customers looking for exclusive and opulent vehicle customization options. - **Materials:** Opportunity: Material suppliers and manufacturers can explore innovative ways to incorporate high-value materials, such as crushed diamonds, into various consumer products, including automotive, fashion, and accessories. - **Luxury Goods:** Opportunity: Luxury brands can leverage extravagant customization options, like Gemballa diamond coating, to cater to wealthy consumers who seek unique and lavish experiences through personalized products and services. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Bedazzled Sequin Luxe Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mystique-allure.md) - [Gold-Tinted Luxe Automobiles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grand-edition-gwagen.md) - [Monochromatic Diamond-Like Luxury SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brabus-800-xlp-superwhite.md) - [Luxury Platinum-Painted Sports Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/porsche-panamera-platinum-edition.md) - [Custom Pink Luxury Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pink-luxury-car.md) - [Romantic Luxury Vehicle Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gclass-stronger-than-diamonds.md) - [Moon Halo-Inspired Premium Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spectre-lunaflair.md) - [Rapper-Approved Molten Chrome Sedans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mercedesbenz-cla.md) - [Eco-Conscious Car Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/motorglaze.md)
