So what brand do you guys use for PPF?
Orange peel on high end German cars was a well known joke in the 90’s, and all these “hand built” RR’s, Astons and Ferraris has notoriously ****** paints, especially when they were still using lacquers and/or single stage paint.
Yeah, but MB cheated by designing cars that were easier to paint - square designs, panels that were sectioned off, use of flat lower body cladding, etc
@brokencycle - I would pick the brand your installer recommends. It’s the one he’s the most familiar with and has the least chance of ******* up
Whats even more insane is the guys who restore cars and go into details to get things exact from the factory... including orange peel and overspray. They do research and even bring workers in to verify that overspray was in the correct spots, etc. Most of those cars go on to win competitions and are investments though... not really built to drive.It is amazing to me that Ferrari and other high-end manufacturers haven't done more damage to their brands with stuff like that. I'm not losing sleep over a steering wheel stripe like Foo, but it seems to me that A. he's a core part of their customer base and B. People would reject blatant quality issues when spending $200k+ on a car.

Yes, they definitely go way beyond having a type A personality.I'm sorry, but those guys? ******* weirdos.
oh noes...discontinued? i'd promised wife that i would buy her this someday. this might force my hand.Couldn't resist. Last two available in Miami Blue. Seems Porsche may be discontinuing the line--perhaps due to Rimowa's acquisition by LVMH.
Interestingly, there is no Porsche premium. Similar luggage from Rimowa is priced similarly.
We already have a full set of top-of-the-line aluminum Topas luggage from Rimowa, but the carry-ons don't have handles on the top side like these do (crucial for easier lifting out of the frunk and lowering risk of scraping the front bumper or fenders).

request: are those the "PTS Ultralight Trolley"? if you have part numbers that would be even more awesome. i'm scrambling around and each site seems to call it something different.
