Krown first then Opticoat, or Opticoat first then Krown? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Which order do you think is the best to do on a brand new BRZ? Apply Krown rust proof first then get Opticoat, or get Opticoat on car first then get Krown rust proof?

no brainer, opticoat first, oil from Krown will seep and cause adhesion problems , better to oil after

I'd Opti-Coat it first. It's a pain to clean off all that oil from Krown.

If I take delivery of my car this week and drive it for the rest of the season could I opti coat in the spring?

you can drive it in the winter and then opticoat in the spring BUT you are risking having those salt chunks hitting on your car in the winter and when spring comes, it'll cost you more to polish it when your applying opticoat.

i'm taking delivery this week (hopefully) and i'm planning to get it opticoat as soon as possible while it's in descent paint condition so it'll be easier for the professional to do their job applying opticoat and that'll perhaps allow them to do a better job.

how much is opticoat and where around me can I get it done?
