Calypso Red. Actually a little darker in the shade than Vegas, but bright in the sun.

It's "ClarityCoat." Pretty amazing.

That's pretty incredible. Is the cost much more than PPF?

Less.

And its more protective than PPF.

But (just like a normal paint job) the key is a top notch shop with high quality booths and paint guns.

I highly recommend it.

Autoflex is certainly not more protective than PPF. That shop really made you drink the kool-aid. Not to mention the orange peel is really bad

Not a picture anyone wants to see of their car. Hoping this wait isn't too long.

Dude, get over it. You seem to be obsessed with Autoflex What is this? The 3rd time you've shared this exact same misinformed b.s.?

The finish is smooth and glass like. Fooled the dealer folks last week. I've had 3 of my cars Autoflexed, and previously have PPF'd numerous cars. With Autoflex, the protection factor is off the charts

If you want to spend a couple thousand more bucks on a PPF that will eventually yellow or peel, go right ahead.

It's a free world, so you can do what you want. Ive been on Bimmerpost a long time, and I'm simply sharing a pic of my car, which I think looks great.

Man really sorry to see this. Your car was sick. I know we are in the same area and a lot of damage from that storm all around. We got like 10 inches of rain in 1 night. I was lucky because we are on a hill but many cars and houses flooded. Good luck getting it sorted and getting a new car!

And when he tries to sell his "1 of 1" custom Stingray, he'll be in for quite the shock. Was better off putting that $ in a trash can and setting it on fire. Why I'm embarrassed to say sometimes I'm a Corvette owner.
