Wow nice looking car! How are the black wheels?

Are you gonna put any paint protection on it?

Thanks I have not looked into paint protection. Would you recommend it

I’m considering between Opti-Coat Pro (which I used before on my Golf GTI in White - although it didn’t help much as white is not a high gloss colour) or GTechniq Crystal Serum Pro.

I’m leaning towards the GTechniq as it has a high shine factor especially good for black colours which is what I’m getting. There’s plenty of YT videos to compare the two. Both are around $1k-1.3k depending on who you talk too.

I got a great quote from Universal Tint in Five Dock for GTechniq Crystal Serum Plus with EXO top layer and window tinting for front windows for $1.1k. Other places were quoting $1.2k-$1.4k.

i'm planning to get Opti-Coat Pro on my new Tig but it's white, so it's not useful?

I’m 50-50 on Opti-Coat from my experience with a white car.

The car didn’t have that high gloss (like the darker colours) after the Opti-Coat. Only benefit was the car was easy to wash.

Opticoat Pro Plus does look considerably more glossy. My Manganese Grey will get the Pro Plus treatment I think. Is the GTechniq Crystal Serum Plus as permanent* as the Opticoat?

* I know nothing is strictly permanent

The GTechniq has a 9 year warranty whereas OC has 5 or 7 years warranty. I think both are good options but I will try the GTechniq this time around as I think it’s more glossy looking.

So I’ve enquired a few places in Sydney for Caliper painting services and the quotes are $250-$300 to paint all four.

I’ve decided I will get my calipers painted but not sure of the colour for a black Wolfy?

1. Orange - colour will stand out and not to dissimilar to the red brake lights?
2. Red - compliment the red brake lights?
3. Blue (my preference) - stands out from the crowd?

Thoughts?
