    Every where I see there are red base paint under the black paint, once the top black paint was scratched off... Why is that? This is under the car..

    Umm on the body.. isn't that your cars paintwork? It is a red car right? Ferrari puts the black coating on as a protective measure. Where it scrapes off, that's the paintwork on the body of the car. When they spray them, the entire body is sprayed the cars color. Black is applied later. Control arm, not sure.. might be done at the same time.

    Mine is the same...All this time I was thinking I car was a repainted. But if you look further in especially the interior, I highly doubt that its repaint. Something from the factory that they did...as long as it was not some "mickey mouse" job, then its all good. I urge you not to pull your hair out on that... Normal.

    The red color makes the car go faster. That's why the car is so fast.

    I have this on my Scud also and my 348. So it seems like they have been doing it for years this way.

    That the least of your worries under car. Think the worse is the scrapes from curves. Everyone has it
