Cars looking great Scubaregs.
The SanFransisco red does really look good on the new z.
It is really looking quite bright in the sun in first pics,yet they often look a deeper red.
Suits the Gloss black grilles as well. :thumbsup:

Dear Comrade Scubaregs,

I must say that the triumvirate of Red Bodywork, Black Detailing including the wheels, set off with a White Interior really does look absolutely magnificent. It was this combination, although not on the new model that you have, that originally set me off on my quest for a BMW Z4 35is. Unfortunately, I did not acquire the car (it is a long and convoluted story). I have been searching ever since. Perhaps one will appear at some stage, meanwhile I am willing to accept a degree of compromise as is often the case when when is making an second hand acquisition. However, Z4 3.5is models do appear reasonably frequently and I am blessed with a disposition which is underpinned by patience and fortitude. I had hoped to acquire the orange machine that has been advertised of recent times on the Forum, but it would seem that this has gone to another. But it is not the end of the world, and although the specification and much else was seemingly quite excellent, I was not overwhelmed with the metallic orange with a black roof. So the Pantheon of universal Gods have decreed that it is not a good thing for me to be immediately in possession of all that I may desire,... in fact, I tend to agree that it is not at all good for the human condition to be possessed of all they wish for. Perhaps one will appear tomorrow, or the day after, or the day after that,... I am confident that at some point a wonderful example will appear,... meanwhile, I am perfectly content to sit within the shadow of the wind, listening to the clouds going by.

With kind regards,

Z4MAD

Seems like you made a friend there. :D Your car looks fantastic. What coating did you have applied.
I used to have two boys and a girl. Now I have two Men and a Woman. :?

Hi BeeEmm, this is the package I went for;

​Carbon Collective Multilayering Ceramic Coating system provides 5 years of superior paint protection. With this option I use two ceramic coatings, firstly I apply the Molecule Ceramic Coating which is a ultra hard base layer and a true 9H ultra-hard coating. Once applied, the coating provides paint protection against scratches, swirls, chemicals, bird droppings UV rays.

To further increase the paint protection and durability I then apply the self healing diamond-infused Nero Ceramic Coating. Nero has a high active content, consisting of diamond particles, this helps to maximise gloss & protection whilst aiding the self-healing process, helping to keep your paint swirl free for longer.

​Once the ceramic coatings have been applied and cured, they become the active layer on top of the paint surface, protecting against chemicals, bird droppings UV rays & even minor scratches for up to 5 years.

Did you just do it all yourself?
If so,how did you find it to apply?
The hard bits keeping it from getting any dust or dirt particles in while it cures, isn't it?
