Default Dark Green RS

i did peelable paint to my car, love how it turned out... car took about 6 weeks from start to finish

1. they removed the PPF that was on the car, that took over a week bec PPF was like 3-4 years old

2. after removing the PPF they prepped it for the peelable paint job, honestly once they prepped it the white popped and looked amazing, the super old PPF on it did not do the white justice and some panels looks beige due to all the dust here and etc.

3. they applied the peelable paint then we had to wait about 2 weeks before putting PPF on the entire car

i actually went to 3 stores and got 4 samples from each (Irish Green, Oak Green, British Racing Green and Brewster)

Out or 12 samples only 2 matched, which were oak and were beautiful. Many were not even close to the requested colors.

I picked my top 2 oak being 1 and this super dark green. I gave the 2 samples to my wife and she picked the one that is now on the car.

It is like a brewster green but even darker. Literally it looks black unless the sun hits it or light is directly on it.

Looks like they did a great job however I can't tell it's green at all.

What's the advantage over a wrap? Cost, time, durability? any colors other than black available?

the advantage is they can do any color and usually can match based on codes given, they were able to match some codes i gave but not all 4, you then peel it off like you would peel a wrap

another advantage this looks more like paint because it is technically peelable paint so there should be less orange peel as they call it

I paid $5600 this includes VAT @ 5%, going to government services to change the registration of color on vehicle to Dark Green, removing PPF, doing the peelable paint and installing full PPF on top

It is not cheap but i think some shops charge $4-5k just for full PPF and some even more

Is the product Clarity Coat, by chance? The truck my car was delivered on was also carrying a peelable paint RS coated by that company. It looked pretty dang good from my quick look.

I watched your video. I must be color blind. I really don’t see any green.

we all know that cameras sometimes do not capture the color 100 percent btw everyone who has seen it in person agrees it is a very dark green, in this picture it looks 100 % black

i only picked up the car yesterday, so with time will get some better shots and post, cheers!
