Xiaomi YU7 Amethyst Color: Unique Nano-Paint & Craftsmanship
Q: The amethyst color looks amazing! What makes it special?
A: The new “Amethyst” paint color uses nano-grade pigments for a pure, crystal-clear tone with a premium mirror-like finish. Achieving this requires skilled artisans to meticulously hand-polish the surface.
To create a 3D texture, “Amethyst” uses a double-layer clear coat. Artisans first dry-sand the first layer with 1500-grit sandpaper to enhance adhesion, then repeat the process on the second layer to improve smoothness. They then wet-sand with 3000-grit sandpaper (using water as lubricant) for a finer finish, bringing out the “Amethyst” luster.
Next comes two polishing steps:
The first uses soft lamb’s wool and high-efficiency polish to remove minor scratches and add natural gloss.
The second employs a sponge pad + high-performance polish for an ultra-smooth, transparent finish.
The result? A nearly orange-peel-free surface that instantly dazzles.
Additionally, “Amethyst” features the “4C3B” process—4 coatings and 3 high-temperature bakes—increasing paint film thickness by 31% compared to Xiaomi’s mass-produced models. The thick yet reflective finish combines mirror-like reflections with depth refraction, achieving a crystal-like 3D effect.
