Panasonic announced a new "Titanium Gold" finish for the Lumix S9 camera - for now available only in Japan (Google translation):
"A special titanium gold, arrived at through repeated trial and error
Conventional metallic paints were created by mixing metal particles into the paint, but there were limitations in reproducing the depth and texture of real metal. The S9's titanium gold paint is based on a thorough commitment to texture and uses a three-layer paint that is completely different from conventional metallic paints. First, the first layer, which serves as the base, is painted with piano black paint. This brings out the shine of the next layer. The second layer is then finished to a mirror finish. This process allows for a high level of brightness without any graininess.The third layer is then painted with a color clear paint to express the color and texture of titanium gold. This process achieves a deep metallic luster and a rich expression that changes delicately."
