Ultrasonic Blue Mica 2.0
Anybody else notice in the brochure that the Ultrasonic Blue Mica color is listed as "2.0?" Anybody have any inside information as to what makes this ver 2.0? Maybe more layers of clear coat? A couple more coats of the color spray? Maybe a different ingredient in the color makeup?

just noticed this in Lexus's press release. Those colors are even wetsanded to make the paint work even more high quality
The Color of Speed
Ultrasonic Blue Mica 2.0, Infrared and a new orange, Molten Pearl. These are the colors of power and speed, and they look stunningly bright on the 2015 Lexus RC F. An extraordinarily complex multi-layered, four-baked process previously used only for concept vehicles or custom cars is now in production at Lexus.
A five-coat, four-bake process produces the very bright Ultrasonic Blue Mica 2.0. A six-coat, four-bake process results in Infrared which could not be achieved with conventional painting. The process required major changes to Lexus’ paint technology to accommodate it on the production line.
The first coat is a primer followed by silver and then a clear coat, followed by the color coat that reflects off the silver to give an additional luster. A final top color coat is then applied. (Molten Pearl uses a four-layer process made possible by the strength of its primer material and vibrant primary color, meaning a silver reflective coat is not necessary.) The vehicle passes through baking ovens four times during the process, and is sanded by hand with a gentle water-based application. Inspectors scrutinize each vehicle to ensure the paint meets strict standards.
Other RC F colors include Ultra White, Liquid Platinum, Nebula Gray Pearl and Obsidian.

From what I read it is a ceramic clear coat that's permanent. I am not sure that I want to mess with the new paint. Thoughts from those who have used the product?
