Hey guys, picked up my MS almost two weeks ago. Have a litany of issues for Tesla to fix but I went up to Dallas to get my car painted with custom color autoflex while I’m waiting for my appointment at my local SC. I think it turned out pretty well. It has some orange peel that needs to be buffed out later but otherwise I’m happy.

Pretty cool, how much did that cost if you don’t mind sharing.
It was a couple grand. I figured why pay Tesla for a color I don’t really like when I can just get the white for no extra charge and get a color I want and can easily return it to stock if I ever sell it.

I really like the color but I sure hope that orange peel can be buffed away. It looks really bad on the left side whereas the trunk and rear bumper look prestine.
Yep, going to be doing a 1500-2000-3000 grit, compound and then polish..it should be all good by then. Just have to get it back from Tesla first. They’re waiting on a part to fix my “adaptive ride control” error message.
