I haven’t spec’ed mine yet. Does McLaren (MSO?) accommodate custom color? If so, relatively straightforward process?

Yes- straightforward process. Not the utter stupidity that is Porsche PTS.0

Yes, they will do any custom paint color you can imagine. As long as you are willing to pay A LOT!! There was a Senna that had a custom paint job which was almost 100k alone just for the paint. Btw, on the price list the cost for Full Visual Carbon Fiber Body in 3K 2x2 Twill - Tinted Satin is $230k just for that option!!

Bespoke custom color is like 12.5k
Making any color satin is 26k
Any fancy stuff like Strata or graphics is 50-100k
Full exposed carbon is 200k

Thanks for sharing and have full carbon Senna tinted interior as special as it is man does it make it hard to enjoy. Applied two coats of clear bra on many areas add another 10k for proper protection and correction.

Does anyone know what color the Tonneau Cover is I you don't spec it carbon? Is it Bodycolor or the gray metallic paint that the frontsplitter etc. comes in standard trim?

No bespoke color is more, starting at 15k (for MSO bespoke - meaning they have the color in the MSO catalogue and those 15k are only the normal colors like e.g. Clyde Blue, MSO Atlantic Blue - which I have on my 720s and so on nothing fancy like the 75k MSO Diamond black and other with fancy mental flakes in it etc.), what you mean is heritage color (for 12,5k) which is a color that was already used on another model before. Fully bespoke (your own color is way way more ;-) ) and even more if you wanna keep it for yourself only

Im looking at the price list and it says MSO Bespoke paint for $12750.

It comes in Paladium

thats the regular price list ... there is another one for the MSO options (cf bodies, fully bespoke paint etc) the quoted price on the normal price list is lowest option (MSO heritage colors - which are the ones that were already used on other cars but are no 765LT colors. the other stuff can be multiple times as expensive - some options like the gold or platinum flakes colors or the MSO McLaren front plaque are on request only (MSO front plaque in platinum + NTPT Carbon is about 79k Euro, or the fading carbon bodies (carbon fading to glossy to solid color) are about 220k here only to give you an idea of what the high end stuff really costs)

Im looking at the MSO price list.

 

[ChrisK1982]

Im looking at the MSO price list.

the one that has all the full cf body options and the custom paint schemes like "Velocity" and other MSO themes ?, hand painted pin stripping etc or do you mean the MSO part on the regular list ?

I have the 22 LT Spider price list which has both regular and MSO price lists. You may be correct but Im just going by the price list and what my dealer said told me as we were planning a fully bespoke custom color for roughly 12-13k. Satin is more as stated. If Im mistaken, then my apologies but just going by my own planning and budgeting process for this build.

Exterior
MSO Heritage Exterior Paint Colour USD 12,359
MSO Bespoke Exterior Paint Colour (pricing applies to Factory paint only) USD 15,884
MSO Satin Exterior Paint Colour USD 33,290


that was from the old list MY 2020 - maybe they changed for the spider (would be one of the few times options became cheaper)

They changed it. I have the most updated list and prices are different.

 

[ChrisK1982]

yes could be. However the MSO price still does only apply to factory color ( these are already in the official color list and also no fancy stuff like Diamond Black) - what Champagne612 meant is an own color and these should still be way more expensive as the process to develop the color is way different ...

For the ones the list refers to, those are the colors like the ones from the MSO box seen here (maybe they added some more in the meantime): MSO Exterior Colors

for these the development process is already done and McLaren has all the data and tests run etc ... the other stuff aka your own color they usually need to develop it and send you samples (we had some guys here at my dealer doing that and it takes quiet some time at MSO - some Senna GTR/600LTs etc. stood there for 4-6 months to finish the process of bespoke MSO options ...

And what Im trying to tell you (unsuccessfully) is that my dealer quoted to me that I could create any color I wanted for like 12k. And the official price list that I have states Bespoke color is $12,750. If Bespoke doesnt mean Bespoke then Ive been given wrong information but I dont believe I have been. So to summarize- what I have been told by my dealer and what the price list confirmed was you can create your own custom color for $12,750. More expensive is the exposed carbon (150-200k) Strata or Velocity colors (50-100k) or satin 26,720.

Creating your own custom color with Mclaren is not like Porsche where they have to do all sorts of ridiculous testing and there is an approved PTS list. Got 12k and change? Great- go design your custom color.

well that's what I wanted to tell you too - bespoke usually DID ONLY apply to the colors from the selection box above (hence the factory color disclaimer) or they have now totally changed the meaning of that option ...
no worries many dealers are at the moment a bit confused about the price lists - a friend of mine was also quoted that the cf bodies include all the other cf options from MSO (told so by his dealer) ... after exchanging several emails with Woking it was of course clear that you still have to pay all the other cf options like exterior cf pack 2, 3, aero bridge etc and that the cf body comes on top of that and only covers the parts which would regularly be painted...

so maybe your dealer told you sth. that is new or and I am quiet sure about that just did not really ask about the meaning of "bespoke" vs "fully bespoke" in Mclaren's usage of these terms

Correct. I went with gloss black via MSO so it matched the roof and pillars. The rest of my exterior accents pieces are exposed carbon and I didn’t want a third finish in the mix. It cost me around as much to have the tonneau painted in gloss black as it would to have it in exposed CF. Craziness.
