utomotive enthusiasts are always working to make their vehicles an extension of their own personality through whatever means possible. One of the most popular ways to make a vehicle stand out is by changing its color. Traditional methods of changing a vehicle’s color can be extremely costly, and vinyl wraps tend to deteriorate faster than actual automotive paint.
ClarityCoat: This newcomer to the market made a huge splash at SEMA 2019 back in October and is focusing on being able to offer any color you can think of – even factory colors from your favorite dream vehicles. Do you want your Miata to be the same color as a Lamborghini you saw on TopGear? With ClarityCoat you can choose any factory color from any car and have a better-than-factory paint job that is 100% removable. ClarityCoat also has a Matte and Gloss option. Both of these products are revolutionizing the way we think about vehicle customization while preserving the paint on your vehicle from the factory. No longer are the days of buying a car in a color you don’t love, or buying a color that won’t hold its value as it ages. You can change the color to anything you want and remove it when you are ready for a change. Keep your eyes peeled for installers of these brands to show up in the St. Louis area within the next year. ■ Article by Nick Book of A & G Auto Spa.

Over the last several years, a handful of companies have sprung up and created an entirely new market allowing for 100% reversible color changes that look like actual paint. Welcome to the world of peel-able paint systems. The two largest brands in this market are AutoFlex and Clarity Coat. These two systems offer two different approaches to changing the color of your vehicle. AutoFlex Express: AutoFlex is what you are looking for if you are trying to make your vehicle really stand out. With the availability of a huge library of pearls and dip dyes (this is where the color comes from), it is very easy to create something truly unique with AutoFlex. If you want to make your car neon yellow, color-shift between 2-3 different colors or even make it look like a bass boat; AutoFlex can do it all. You can also decide between Matte and Gloss finishes for a one-of-a-kind style for your ride. ClarityCoat image (provided by A & G Auto Spa)
