Colors
Cerussit Grau Burst
The CerussitGrau Burst finish draws its character from the refined palette of the Mercedes automotive catalogue, translating a classic metallic grey into a sophisticated instrument finish. The color sits in a subtle space between graphite and silver — deep enough to feel purposeful, yet luminous under light.
Applied as a gentle burst, the tone naturally darkens toward the edges of the body, framing the instrument’s contours while emphasizing the sculptural lines of the Sarā design. The metallic particles within the paint catch light with restraint, producing a soft shimmer rather than a flashy sparkle. This controlled reflectivity gives the finish a modern, technical elegance.
The result is a surface that feels both precise and timeless. In some lighting it appears almost industrial and minimal; in others, the metallic depth reveals warmer undertones that soften the grey. The burst transition adds subtle dimensionality, guiding the eye across the body without overpowering the instrument’s clean geometry.
Like all Belforti finishes, CerussitGrau Burst is applied with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring depth, durability, and a visual identity that remains understated yet unmistakable.
