    Two tone Burgundy/Black Autoflex paint on Model3

    Not necessarily. There are different types of Autoflex paint, mine was candy glossy finish with about 12 to 14 coats to achieve a very specific depth, color and vibrance. If you pick a vanilla dip paint, then most probably you can just paint the panel that got damaged. With custom combinations...

    Two tone Burgundy/Black Autoflex paint on Model3

    I had a minor fender bender situation and my Autoflex paint shop said they have to repaint the whole body and not just the panel. The original dip was holding solid like it was brand new, even after 4 years. This is the third time I'm doing a full body Autoflex and absolutely love the quality...

    Two tone Burgundy/Black Autoflex paint on Model3

    Haven't posted here for a long time now, sorry to see few of you weren't able to get Autoflex in NorCal, hopefully it is available now. Btw, I just updated my M3 Performance with a new Autoflex paint (Root Beer Candy), kept the two tone look.

    Model 3 OEM Performance Matte Carbon Fiber Trunk Spoiler for sale

    Had my Model 3 OEM Performance trunk spoiler for the past 3 years, took it out recently and replaced it with an aftermarket glossy one. Spoiler does not have any damage or issues. Just needs a 3M double sided tape and is good to go. Prefer local pick up for $225, but willing to ship at buyers...

    Performance Model 3 with 21" or 22" wheels?

    Thanks, the Fitment calculator does seem to give some general info on the wheel's proximity to the suspension strut etc. Having said that it is just theory and I want to know if anyone has managed to install larger diameter rims. For instance when I was shopping for tires and wheels, I was...

    Performance Model 3 with 21" or 22" wheels?

    Does anyone have 21" or 22" wheels on a Model 3 performance? Or have you atleast thought about it? I like my aftermarket Vossen 20" wheels, but there is still a gap between the wheels and the bumper and I dont want to lower the suspension further as it is low enough for me to get in and get...

    Two tone Burgundy/Black Autoflex paint on Model3

    It feels exactly like a paint, because it is paint :) It it amazing how resilient it is to rock chips and other environment conditions, I trust this lot more than OEM paint, now that I have it on two cars and have seen it first hand driven more than 15,000 miles.

    Two tone Burgundy/Black Autoflex paint on Model3

    Lol, I go there almost everyday to work out at Golds gym, food, shopping etc. was there early am today. I was out on a international travel last week, but starting from today you should spot a Burgundy Model 3 :)

    Two tone Burgundy/Black Autoflex paint on Model3

    Thanks. I actually preordered MPP Coilovers and had to cancel, as it was already low enough for me to get in and out, was used to driving BMW X5 :). The ride quality is really good, including cornering and hence decided to leave as is

    Two tone Burgundy/Black Autoflex paint on Model3

    Glad you like the finish and outcome. Yes, it does look very close to the signature Red paint, especially in sunlight.

    PPF & Vinyl Pros and Cons

    Rather than spending $$$ on PPF, take a look into Autoflex paint. It is not a vinyl wrap, but a "peelable" paint that can be easily peeled off anytime down the line, but at the same time protects your OEM paint and most importantly is resistant to rock chips, weather conditions and the finish...
