Swift Color/Teflon etc.

Black is a good colour, I guess it is also non metallic like red.

Only deterrent for black is that visibility in the night is quite poor.

the cost is an intial investment of 2-2.5k and the remaining coats come for free. but getting it done at the correct intervals is very important.

black is same as red. Infact if you live in a place where the average temperatures are high, your car will heat up faster as black absorbs more heat. Better go in for some lighter shades if possible like grey/silver/white.

What abt the accessories... what ever the dealer is giving as free.. I will take that... and the rest shud i buy them at showroom or outside. I stay in chennai.. any good shops for accessories in chennai?

@Sri: Initial investment of 3k and only one recoat comes free.

@Naveen: Have a look in this thread.

Initial coat and 2 recoats are the standard pack that they give in most of the cases. Its like a 1 year maintenance for the coat(1 application every 6 months). Remaining depends on how you bargain with the dealer.

And I am aware of the fact of using the edit button with 10 minutes but this time i used to quote on different posts and so missed it. Check my previous posts in case of any doubts

For chennai weather, I do not think Black also fits the bill.... it will heat up quickly, will show dusty, will be showing the scratches more prominantly.

I was also planning for Teflon caoting, but after reading the advantages and disadvantages I decided not to opt for Teflon caoting, My car will be parked in open with a cover on it. I would rather apply wax to the car every 2-3 months, which will protect the car color and also give a shiny finish and also would be less expensive than Teflon!
