Grigio Alloy Ferrari 812 Superfast Gets Professional-Grade Ceramic Coating

Few vehicles embody the drama and passion of Italian engineering quite like the Ferrari 812 Superfast. With its elongated hood design, rear-wheel-drive proportions, and naturally aspirated V12 engine, the 812 features the most powerful Ferrari road car engine ever made without forced induction. Overall, the 812 is an authentic modern-day grand tourer with the soul of a race car. This particular example, finished in the refined and understated Grigio Alloy, came to Bulletproof Auto Spa for a series of upgrades that would enhance both its aesthetics and protection while honoring its factory elegance.

At the heart of the Ferrari 812 Superfast is a 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12, delivering an astonishing 789 horsepower and 530 lb-ft of torque. Capable of screaming to 8,900 RPM and catapulting the car from 0 to 60 mph (0-97km/h) in just 2.8 seconds, this powerplant defines what makes the 812 so special. It’s the last of a dying breed. It’s an uncompromising, high-revving front-engine GT that prioritizes visceral driving emotion above all else.

The 812’s flowing lines and wide, low stance evoke both aerodynamic purpose and classical beauty. And in Grigio Alloy, a rare and highly sophisticated Ferrari paint option, its curves are even more pronounced. The soft metallic blue-grey tone plays with light in a subtle, refined way. It is far less attention-seeking than traditional Rosso Corsa, but with a presence that is every bit as commanding. It is a color that speaks to connoisseurs; elegant, understated, and deeply expressive under the right lighting conditions.

However, finishes like Grigio Alloy are also notoriously difficult to keep pristine. Its high metallic content and delicate tone reveal every imperfection, whether it is micro-marring, light swirl marks, or the faintest contamination on the surface. Maintaining this level of visual clarity requires more than a simple wash or wax. It demands an expert-level approach to surface correction, flawless paint preparation, and the application of a professional-grade ceramic coating to preserve the integrity of the finish. At Bulletproof Auto Spa, our detailing process was tailored specifically to the unique challenges of this paintwork, ensuring the vehicle’s beauty is not only restored but protected for years to come.

Complete Carbon Fiber Engine Bay Trim Upgrade

To complement the understated exterior and elevate the engine bay, our team installed a complete carbon fiber engine bay trim upgrade. Ferrari’s V12 is a work of mechanical art, and it deserves to be presented accordingly. The OEM-inspired carbon components add a motorsport-inspired aesthetic, while dramatically enhancing the visual impact of the engine compartment.

Every piece was meticulously fitted to align with Ferrari’s design standards. The high-gloss carbon weave not only reduces weight but introduces a clean, performance-focused visual texture that feels at home in a car of this caliber. Whether viewed through the open hood at a concours event or during routine maintenance, the result is a bay that commands attention with tasteful aggression.

Complete Vehicle Professional-Grade Ceramic Coating

After the carbon fiber upgrade, our focus turned to the body. Protecting a finish like Grigio Alloy requires precision—and a deep understanding of paint chemistry and surface preparation. Our team performed a complete paint decontamination and surface prep before applying a professional-grade ceramic coating across the entire vehicle.

This advanced coating provides long-term protection against UV rays, water spots, acid rain, and other environmental hazards, while enhancing the paint’s natural gloss and depth. The ceramic layer adds hydrophobic properties, making washing and maintenance dramatically easier while preserving the showroom finish for years to come. For a vehicle as exclusive and high-performance as the 812 Superfast, this level of protection is not just recommended, it’s essential.

Treated Like a Work of Art

Every vehicle we care for at Bulletproof Auto Spa is treated with the same level of precision and respect we would give to our own, especially when it’s something as rare and valuable as a Ferrari V12. This Grigio Alloy 812 Superfast not only delivers breathtaking performance, it now looks like a true masterpiece from every angle. Whether the carbon fiber engine bay is on display or the sunlight is catching the flawless ceramic-coated finish, the result is a vehicle that reflects the highest standards of craftsmanship.
