I'm pretty happy with it. Any good suggestions on caring for a new black paint job? Lol.

I would get it buffed out to perfection, have it sealed with Opticoat, and call it a day.

What's the cost for sealing w/Opticoat?

Last spring I paid $80 for a vial of Opti-Coat 2.0 which is no longer available. I think what's available now is Opti-Coat Pro and Clear Gloss. I had my car paint corrected professionally and the guy charged me an extra $100 to apply the Opti-Coat. The paint needs to be as close to swirl free as possible prior to application. The results were incredible!!!Image

I also had my '14 done

Certainly looks like it was worth every penny! Those cars look fantastic.
