Featured on BIMMERPOST.com He recently performed a Autoflex Spray on Wrap to his brand new X5 Comp. Absolutely amazing! Such a beautiful color for this vehicle. And the craftsmanship is impecable. Thoughts?

It is covered in clear coat so it can be clay barred, ceramic coated, waxed etc. But it can easily be peeled off with zero damage to the paint. Very intriguing. |

What is this madness you speak of?!? That's incredible for a plastidip style system. Looks like paint!

Just some info on my X5’s Autoflex incase anyone is curious on the details behind liquid spray wraps (not plastidip).
Its relatively inexpensive, compared to a good vinyl wrap. I was quoted between $5k and $6k for a comparable orange, with Autoflex I was able to color match BMW’s Fire Orange color and it ran me $3500 and only 2 days to do. While the concept of liquid application is the same as Plastidip, its not the same product at all. Its a 4 stage process, tack coat, 2 base coat (in my case it was avalanche grey) because I was going over black factory color - then the 2 color coats, followed by Autoflex 2k OEM style clear coat. And yes it can be cut/buffed/polished/waxed/ceramic coated and its gas spill safe. You can also use a car wash as it self heals minor swirls in the sun. Lasts 6+ years and is 100% peel-able. Even feels like real paint. Its basically removable paint instead of a vinyl wrap. Most people cant tell its not factory. Installation requires no removing of any trim, bumpers, panels, lights etc like you have to do on vinyl. I’m an orange fanatic so all my cars have been orange and it may not be everyones cup of tea but with Autoflex you can literally make any color you can think of from solids, metallics and “frozen” mattes. Its truly the next level of wrapping and after 4 cars I’m still impressed every time I pick up my car from being done. I also did my wheels and calipers in Autoflex as well since its extremely durable and heat resistant. Thanks for the shout out Marcus!!

Decent color but on the wrong vehicle in my opinion.

Check out this magnificent Satin wrap I found on my Instagram. I don't even care for these satin, matte finishes but this is amazing looking.

how durable is this? Better than typical wrap and perhaps someplace in between the wrap and ppf?
