I'm liking the idea, i think the red on the 07/08 R1 (the satin red on the main side fairing) would look sick on a trans am.

lets say I want my car repainted the factory color, just with a flat or a satin clear, what brand or what additive should I look into??

this would be a daily driver so durability is paramount

TIA

i wouldnt waste my time doing a repaint and trying to use a satin clear. id go with a satin film, its just as good & you can remove it at any time. With the film being .8 mil thick it will offer a good amount of protection against debris anyway. if you have any ?s PM me and i can help you out if thats the direction you want to go in.

Don't know what the cost is of a repaint but for a vinyl wrap or matte film it can cost anywhere from 1,500-8k. Just depends on what u want , but in the end you can always remove it & sections can be replaced cheaper than painting a panel.

Another thing you can do is to wrap your car. If done right it would look great. Xtreme Graphics is who did my car. You can go to the website to get ideas of colors. X-tremewraps.com. The bmw is a matte silver matalic and the audi is a matte lime green.
