I worry about upkeep on Frozen paint finishes. Little scratches on normal paint can be buffed out with my Porter Cable. I anticipate that taking a Porter Cable to a frozen paint job will not end well.

Frozen can be ruined by drying to hard with a towel. Unless you wash your car yourself, don't even consider matte paint. You will just get your heart broken.

I would think this is in fact frozen red. We sold one here maybe a year ago and it just came in for service the other day, definitely does look a bit orange from some angles/lighting setups. |

a Frozen clear coat is as durable as a gloss clear coat. the only way that can happen is if you don't use a wax or soap that's designed for matte finishes. |

small scratches are actually hidden by frozen clear coat because of it's very nature to not reelect light back at you. on gloss jobs, theses are always noticeable. you can further protect your frozen paint job by adding a layer of special wax if you choose. just like a gloss job, doing this will give your car that added protection against small scratches, dried water stains, bird shit and bugs. again...if you can't do that for a gloss job, then you'll find that difficult on a frozen job. there is only one legitimate concern about owning a frozen paint job.....and that is repairing it. from deep scratches to collisions ....any repaint will be expensive because there are few paint guys that can do it well. you can protect yourself against the deep scratches however by getting an spell stealth clear bra. i have that over the whole front end of my car. if you wan't to hear from actual frozen paint owners over rumors , go to this thread and find out for yourself... http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=841594 |

yeah....that video does a horrible job of explaining something that's fairly easy to understand.
but what that video does say is that that frozen clear coat is as durable as a gloss clear coat . again, hit the link in my above post. there's really no reason for any frozen paint owner to lie about their experiences. |

Looks great with the roof down only. hate the bmw convertible roof up lines. Ugly. So many car makers have gorgeous lines with their hard top roofs (Ferrari 458, Mclaren 650S). Why can't BMW figure this out?
Also not a fan of frozen paint. Like many others in this thread I too wish this trend will pass. |

you are 100% right my friend, frozen colors are only for guys who wash their cars by themselves (like me...lol) but its maintenance is easier than what you may think

Would rather spend the 5k that frozen paint costs and have someone wet sand one of the factory options. |
