As some people have mentioned before it is extremely difficult to offer a group buy at a substantial discount due to the nature of my operation and the ability to only do 2 cars a day MAX. This ensures that I have sufficient time to perfect my work and leave happy with the job I have performed.

I am also substantially cheaper than 90% of the Opti Coat dealers Australia wide. The way my business is set up is to make money off volume rather than a single customer - and the profit margins for applying Opti Coat arent as large as you would think.

Another problem is 90% haven't received their vehicles yet - and deliveries are scattered throughout the year.

So I'm going to offer two options and hopefully keep it simple.

1. Mention you found me through this forum, quote your username and I will Opti Coat your 86 for $390.

2. Or I will add value to your deal and Opti Coat your wheels, plastics and rubbers, side/rear glass and headlights/tail lights at no extra cost (coating the windscreen is illegal therefore I will not endorse it)

For anyone that has already booked their vehicles in with me, I will apply the discount automatically or add value as you wish.

How does that sound?

Frank


FT86_Zero 06-29-2012 12:05 PM

Frank, thank you so much for your participation and kind offer. I have emailed you, you may realize who I am :).....

I will contact you straightaway once I get my car hopefully by end of July, I believe most of us will do this Opti coat business with you for sure, option 2 will be perfect !!!!!

I am very glad I created this thread to help people understand the true paint protection and gain the awesome WIN WIN business with you!!!

Had Opti-coat done by Frank on Saturday, and it looks amazing.
Don't have a fancy camera so must apologise for the photos, they do not do Frank's work justice.
I have to say that Frank did a terrific job to prep the paint (get rid of fine scratch marks, water spots), which is actually the bulk of the work, before applying the opti-coat. I would definitely recommend Frank, I don't know if you could find a cheaper deal, and importantly he does very good work!

FT86_Zero 07-01-2012 04:46 PM

goooooood!!

Frank @ BrightShine 07-01-2012 06:56 PM

Thanks Jonathan! Love the way the metallic pops in sun.

Those trolleys in the background are scaring me though... bit too close.

Rudiger 07-01-2012 07:59 PM

Hi Frank I'm also interested, expecting the car in late October.

Cheers!

EDIT: Option 1, my bad

Rubadub 07-01-2012 08:11 PM

Thanks for the offer Frank - I'm interested in option 2 also. Just wondering whether Opti-coating the windows should be done after or before a tint - does it matter at all? Thanks.

proficience 07-01-2012 10:20 PM

Cheers for this Frank!

I'm in for option 1. Late July most likely.

Thanks!

gstephens 07-02-2012 07:23 AM

Thanks Frank!
1. late september
2. Option 2

Hi Sticky,

It doesn't matter mate, either way is fine. We only do the exterior of the glass and don't touch the inside.

Frank

Frank @ BrightShine 07-02-2012 10:23 AM

Once again thanks for the commitment guys! I look forward to making the 86's the shiniest cars on the road.

Rest assured that every single car I do gets treated like my own - and gets the necessary amount of attention to make it as visually perfect as possible.

Thanks Frank, it is also my question :):D

LeftFootBrake 07-03-2012 01:08 AM

Had my car OptiGuarded by Frank yesterday. He showed great attention to detail and if he could see an issue, he'd fix it.

The way I think about the OptiGuard process is 95% paint preparation, 5% OptiGuard application. It's really important to get the vehicle looking as good as it can before applying the OptiGuard, which effectively then locks that goodness in. And Frank never once gave me the impression he'd rather be lazy and save a few bucks or minutes of his time rather than doing a proper job. Recommended.

My only small suggestion would be thinking carefully about your intended washing and optiguard location to help him do the best job he can. I'm sure Frank can help guide you on this.

A few action shots have been posted on my journal thread.

benoh 07-03-2012 10:38 AM

Put me down for this. my gts is coming in approximately october. Option 2.

Would anyone care to share the price for the opti-guard vs opti-coat?

Hi Benoh,

Thank you for your interest. We only use Opti Guard as it is the version that gives you your warranty.

Opti Coat is the consumer grade product that is DIY. Basically a diluted version of Opti Guard. I would highly advise against this unless you have experience preparing duco to accept coatings/sealants and also experience in applying such products. Incorrect application will damage your clear coat.

From memory the DIY kit is $99.

Frank

benoh 07-03-2012 11:18 AM

cool that's good then. I was looking to probably get the opti guard done anyway.
Was actually thinking a clear bra around the whole car, but that shine and the way the water just falls right off it has got me!

Will contact you once I get the car.

Frank @ BrightShine 07-03-2012 11:48 AM

Thanks Benoh, look forward to it.

whyreeto 07-03-2012 02:23 PM
