Mercedes C400

Carbon Red using Autoflex Coatings peelable paint, yes it's #notawrap
It's hard to capture this color as it slight shifts depending on the lighting conditions.

Just watched a demo on the product. A lot of work but it does the trick. How much does it cost to have a shop shoot this?

around $2000 to $2500 CDN depending on the pearls, etc
color shifts like ZTA pearls can be upwards of $200 for just the colors.

In the US im sure there are more options out there.

Definitely needs to be done by a professional shop, not for the DIY

Cost is about the same as a wrap though.

Both have their upsides. I like it, time to change your sig pic!

it's not at as thick as PPF (3m, xpel, etc) however there is about 8 to 10 layers of product, so its pretty thick in itself, so in theory i guess it acts as a PPF.

It also has a clearcoat so you can buff, wetsand, polish

How do they handle the transitions (door jambs, etc)? Just a clean line or do they shoot those areas too?
