8 Absurdly Pricey Auto Paint Jobs

To make its flagship, the CTS-V, sparkle, Cadillac turned to independent optics supplier JDSU. The Black Diamond tri-coat sandwiches a layer of SpectraFlair pigment between a metallic black base coat and a top clear coat. Aluminum flakes encased in magnesium fluoride in the SpectraFlair diffract light the way a diamond does, creating a deep rainbow-like prism effect under bright light. Even when sitting on matte black rims and dressed in all black leather, the CTS-V will surely catch your eye.

At $995, the Cadillac CTS-V Black Diamond Edition's tri-coat is the cheapest paint job on this list. In fact, it's cheaper than the car's $3400 Recaro seats and $1300 gas-guzzler tax penalty, so we're talking about a thousand-dollar bargain.
