Hey mate ceramic clear is more durable and less likely to scratch, be affected by tree sap, acid rain, etc etc. all new Mercedes are painted with it.

I wouldn't say it was essential, I wouldn't personally as a painter go out my way to use it on my own car, but up to you if he's charging loads more money to use it then don't bother IMO.

All the German cars use that clear.

If you are going through the effort of getting It repainted then wack on the ceramic clear. I know I would.

Last thing you want is a bird to swing by and say "hey, I'm gonna shit on your freshly painted car" and don't wash it off for a week and have a nice poo stain that ate through your clear.

Too far?

roughly how much for paint job?

[Michael's R33]

$4700 original colour code with ceramic clear. That includes door jams and repairs on minor dings was pretty straight only resprayed as the paint was fading on the roof

[Anfanee]

Who is doing the work?

[james32gtr]

I'd do it for $3500 lol maybe next time

[Michael's R33]

The finished result any one know how to get rid of the white buff marks on rubber strips around windows etc?

[R.3.2.G.T.R]

very nice, use meguires or mothers rubber and plastic product

did you leave your side skirts on our taken off prior to painting?

also pass me some details, wouldn't mind having my car looked at

[Joshbigt62r]

What brand paint was used just out of curiosity? $4700 sounds pretty fair for a full re spray.

ceramic clear coat need to be baked to take full effect and if the shop was not professional enought to clean his buffer mark on your trim, i really doubt you got a ceramic clear coat.

[PM-R33]

Isopropyl alcohol will easily remove the white marks from the rubbers. It is what we use in the industry after compounding and polishing to remove any remaining residue.

[Michael's R33]

Its only a few dots here and there but im fussy so I want the car to look its best hopefully I get an email today from wtac so I can enter show and shine

Iv worked in England most my life painting supercars and high end prestige, plus boats and planes and everything in between, and have been in Australia spraying for the last 2 years all of the cars are customers except the orange 200sx which I built from scratch and the gtr

If you like my work feel free to message me about anything.

Thanks
