Not sure anyone can really answer that for you.. each method has pros and cons and price differences. You kinda have to weigh them all yourself to see what's the best fit for you.

Took me about 4 hours. Just did my new Model 3 also. Took the center caps off before I sprayed to have the little silver T I can get rid of anytime I want.

Can you please share which website you used for direction? Any need to remove the chrome before dipping or just masking is sufficient?
Thanks!

Know this thread is a bit old, but was curious if people use a ceramic coating over the autoflex spray shield

I've never heard of anyone doing that. Ceramic coatings are pretty expensive for a dip that is generally regarded as temporary.

What you can do is apply carpro Hydro2. Spray on rinse off. It works super well and is super hydrophobic. Lasts for about 3 months in my testing but I coat it twice. Takes 15 mins per car.

I don't believe the spray shield is generally regarded as temporary, it is essentially a liquid PPF and is supposed to last 5+ years.
What about the sensors? Do they work with no issues? Thinking about bringing my Model 3 to ProDipperNYC as well.
Car looks great. I just got a P100D in deep blue and did the Xpel Stealth over it. I'd love to see how the 2 compare in person. I'm in CT also, south central.
That sounds like it would be pretty close in color/finish! We have CT club events every six months at Milford service center. See: Tesla Owners Club of Connecticut - TeslaClubCT.com
Thanks i missed the last one as i didnt have the car yet at that point. I'll be there for the next one hopefully
Hi srk,
I sold that P85+ back in 2017, and it was holding up well when I sold it. But I've since repeated the process on my P85D+ (see link below) also in 2017, and it's now three years later and it looks like it was done yesterday. Very happy with the results. Also, there are newer and better "Autoflex" products out there, but I have no experience with them.
Dipped again! This time Deep Sea Blue + Blueberry Juice in Autoflex Satin
