Tint/Ceramic/Wheels/Calipers Painted/Badges Painted, oh MY!!

[jf64k]

Picked up my MY LR AWD MSM/Black, w/Tow on 08/13. I’m so impressed with this car. I coming from a 2017 Chevrolet Bolt and, while I loved that car (My MY’s name is “Son of a Bolt” in homage haha!!), the MY is in another league. Wow.

I wanted to treat the SOB right, so I dropped it off at Corsa Motorsport in Huntington Beach on Monday for:

- Tint (70% windshield & rear, 35% front)
- Paint correction/ceramic coat
- Glass polish/ceramic coat
- Caliper paint
- Aftermarket Wheels
- Satin black emblems.

Got my first update photo today...cut/polished and waiting for the calipers. Might be ready Friday!!

We had Corsa do paint correction/ceramic coat/glass polish/tint on my Wife’s Red/White MY about three weeks ago and it came out great. Love the “one-stop-shop” aspect.

Anderson @ Corsa has been helping us out and he’s great to work with. I love that the shop is clean, neat, and really busy. I figure they’re busy for a reason, haha!! So many high-end cars in there. Lots of eye candy.

If anyone is interested, I’ll have more photos this week!!

Cool. And I see you're in LA... if you payed more than $250 for them to paint your calipers you got jipped!

Maybe so...is that for calipers painted off the car??

Dude, you got the hook ups man. Pass that info. Quotes I have gotten all start $650 and up, with one over a grand.

i have paid someone $900 to paint my calipers. Never had issues of paint peel or crack even after numerous track days. I also paid someone $650 to paint my calipers but I brought them brand new brembo gt. Least I paid was $350 and person painted while the calipers were on the car. Two track days later, paint cracked. $250 sounds like a deal if its done properly off the car and comes with lifetime warranty.

Im glad Anderson is taking good care of both of your vehicles! Ive been busy but definitely need to go back and get some more work done on the Y make sure to post more photos once its all done!

That looks awesome. Though, one thing maybe to ask, instead of ceramic coating, see if they do graphene coating. It's supposed to last way longer, and the next big thing.

And, from Pan's review, it's also way easier to apply too.

Haha, always something new!! Too late, anyway...that ^ last pic is with two layers of ceramic coat. SOB is looking great and I’m not changing now haha!!

Ahh, if only I had seen this post earlier to share! Apparently graphene is supposed to last twice as long in terms of protection, and even more slickness. It's probably overkill, but I wonder if you can put one on top of another lol.

Not a problem!! I don’t think I’d go for graphene in any event. Too new (at least for auto paint, I know the material graphene has been around a while).

Ceramic coat has been around a bit and seems to work well.

I’ll go for graphene (or whatever the latest coating is, haha!!) when I get my Cybertruck!!

Looks great! Anyone in NorCal that can comment on OCDetail in Fremont? I got quoted $2750 for Model Y to get the paint correction and cQuartz ceramic coat along with front window tints. Thoughts? Personal expoeriences?

Single stage? Multi stage? How many coats? cQuartz isn’t the best but does the job. Norcal is always more expensive compare to down here when it comes automotive stuffs imho.

You might as well get a full body PPF job for $2750, that's crazy!! I'm getting full body satin Suntek PPF, front windows + windshield tinted, and brake calipers painted for $5K out the door here in SoCal.

 

[jf64k]

Calipers are back from curing. Looking good!! They just got ceramic coated and will go on the SOB tomorrow.

(BTW...the gold ones aren’t mine. They’re not wrong, just different, haha!!)

 

[kpinthebay]

Man those calipers sure are pretty. Hoping my $50 job comes out half as nice.

Wow, that’s a heck of a deal! Would you mind sharing the name of the body shop?
