Why does it cost less than an actual paint job? Seems like labor is similar?
I admit, yours looks good. |
Ohhh...
Original Autoflex did have some Orange peel look, just like classic BMW paint jobs from 15 or 20 years ago. Looked thick and shiny. The new AF Gloss is very smooth and doesn't have any orange peel, so wouldn't need correction. I did ceramic coat it, which cost me $69 for CG Quartz and took a couple hours in my garage. Easy.
Applying takes someone who has a high quality paint booth and paint gun. Painters probably still want to paint cars since they can charge more. And let's face it, a lot of wrap shops are not skilled craftsmen. I see tons of really bad wraps.
The original mat finish "dips" looked awful. But Autoflex (Ngenco in Europe) is not "dip."
Spaying a finish is faster than individually wrapping every little angle if a car. Check out our Instagram, at the very beginning of our pictures for a few photos of the process.
