Two tone Burgundy/Black Autoflex paint on Model3

[hdAge]

Just got the P3D painted with Burgundy candy autoflex and chrome delete too. The car is straight out of the autoflex job, have not yet done cut and buff nor waxed, will take care of these in the next few weeks. Also the logos are not yet placed back.

This is a great alternate to PPF, not only does it protect the OEM paint but the autoflex coat is also resilient to rock chips and weather conditions. Plus maintenance is a breeze; dirt and debris will easily come off.

Thanks. Chrome delete costs around $700, the autoflex candy job around $2500 or more depending on the shop.

I’m not usually a fan of wraps but that’s fantastic!

Neither am I and this is not a wrap . About 12 to 13 coats of paint; so it can be washed, buffed, waxed, polished, coated etc.

Op that looks stunning! The color looks great! I am not a red car person, but that looks really really good!

I like the black on the upper pillar that goes across the roof from front to back. It's a different look. Might steal that idea

Yes I specifically wanted the two tone look, so had to explain the paint guy.. feel free to replicate it, it stands out from every other Model3 here and there are plenty

Is Autoflex similar to Plastidip in that it's removable like a wrap/ppf?

Also $2500 seems cheap for a full spray job considering a full wrap costs more than that on the budget side and PPF typically being 3-4x more expensive. If that's an average price it does sound like a great alternative (esp if removable).

Yes similar and can be peeled off, just that Autoflex is of professional grade and plastidip is not. Autoflex is definitely a great alternative since when it started to get popular couple of years back, got it done on my BMW and had it for a year, so I know it is very durable and holds the paint well. And way cheaper than PPF, with the added option of choosing from more than 40,000 paint colors. Ofcourse you can also apply Autoflex without changing the color just like PPF.

Stunning...absolutely stunning. How long did the shop have to keep your car to complete all the work ?
