First of all, it came out amazing.

Is a wrap the same cost as a full PPF, and thus this clarity coat is cheaper than a wrap?

Any special maintanance required?

I have a HS F87 but think one day I may want to change its color to something more colorful. At least for a few years.
Wraps are fine, but they are labor intensive to install. Plus, the G87 front end has a lot of angles and curves, which adds to the difficulty.

Clarity Coat is sprayed on, with a paint gun, in a paint booth. Edges are not an issue.

Because it is paint (with a flex agent) it looks just like paint.

The key is finding a high quality, experienced professional installer with a high quality booth and paint gun.

The "autoflex" can be in clear too. If the G87 CS comes in Technoviolet or Thundernight, I'll get that and then protect it with clear autoflex.
