Wow this one has a lot of glossifier on it, so shiny! I prefer more moderate shine ;-)
Other than that, it looks like we picked a very similar color-shift pigment.

where did you get this done? I am in Toronto. . interested in doing that also
is that aquqphobic layer like a wax? Does it help keep the car clean?
So I'm looking to dip my model S with a blue similar to what Hank showed. Any hints on # of gallons required for base coat, top coat, etc?
from the picture above I get you want Carbon Blue Pearl (this one Carbon Blue Pearl ).
Depending on whether you want to make it brighter or darker put 4 base coats of regular black or grey (3 gallons), then 2 coats of DYC DipPearl DYC DipPearl TopCoat Gallon mixed with one of the KP Pigments. From the picture above I get you want Carbon Blue Pearl (this one Carbon Blue Pearl ). The usual proportion is 75 gram (3 packs) of pigment on 3 gallons of the TopCoat. And then you apply a number of coats of TopCoat without any pigment to make it shiny. The number depends on how much gloss you would prefer. DYC recommends 3-4 coats, but I personally like a bit more moderate gloss (2 coats). So we are talking about 2-3 gallons of DYC DIPPEARL TOPCOAT. So
If you plan to DIY then I recommend watching a lot of DYC videos DipYourCar and then practice on something other than your Tesla first ;-) The key is to apply sufficient number of coats so it's easy to peel when you decide to revert to the original look. Good luck.
I'm really torn between that and this Deep Sea Blue with Alien RL-71 topcoat:
@ wolfpet do the handles stay cooler with the wrap? I am in the Seattle area and the handles get painfully hot in the summer.
