The painting of an America's Cup boat must be perfect, not only for aesthetic purposes, but above all aimed to performance. This is why Luna Rossa's flawless and iconic metallic livery is the result of a long, complex and delicate team effort. In the specialized team, where Danilo Sorrentino and Valentino Melis are led by Mauro Zamichele, Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli's "painters" not only paint the hull, but they ensure that its finish is flawless, to prevent the smallest defect from creating drag or friction, or reducing speed and performance.

To ensure that the AC75 is always in peak condition, boat and appendages are thoroughly inspected after each sailing session, to identify any possible imperfection, even the slightest. It is a time-consuming and high-precision job, as described in detail by the members of this team.
