Opticoat, Rustproof, what first? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Hi all,

I will soon be the owner of a 2013 FRS which I am buying used.

My first priority will be to ensure the car's paint will stand the test of time, as this will be my daily driver and unfortunately will have to withstand our canadian winters.

My plan is to have the car rust-proofed at Krown first. Then have it detailed and opti-coated afterwards.

Also, the previous owner had tint installed by the dealership and it is already starting to bubble on the driver's side window.. is this covered by warranty or am I out of luck?

Thanks,

I'd go with OptiCoat first.

I would ask the dealership to fix the tint before you buy it.

Opti-coat the car first.
