The ceramic coating turned out GREAT!! f you are in need of any detail work, definitely check out Blackout Tinting. Their official website is: blackoutempire.com and you can find their RUclips channel here: bit.ly/2KdxFTX 👍👍
Justin, Nothing like sitting in Bangkok on a Sunday afternoon and watching Vette vlogs. The day I purchased my ZO6 I dropped it off to have then Expel clear bra and ceramic coating. Well worth the money. Blue skies, Jg
Hi Justin, you have a beautiful Vette!! I have a black C7 convertible and am contemplating the Xpel Fusion and IGL Kenzo. Did you do any research on IGL to share anything? Thank you!
I did! I chose XPEL FUSION because of its better functionality on top of XPEL Paint Protection Film but I've also heard from other people that work with ceramic coatings that FUSION is glossier.
Wow J. The Black Mobile turned out great !!! The car is bulletproof now bro. It does look like a mirror. Black Out Tinting was very thorough. When I run out of quick detail, pencil me in. Lol Awesome results, great vid J. Thx man.thx😁👍😉
Thinking of getting a Tacoma TRD Pro with xpel and xpel ceramic. How did the coating hold up for you over the past two years? That ZR1 is just too nice!
Kool video Justin, how do you wash and clean your car after the coating process in the future? it would be kool to see your cleaning process. Thanks,Larry
I had my 21 Red Mist C8 done with fusion. Rainwater just evaporates off and I dont even see any dirt remaining like it does on my other cars with a Dy applied coating by Proje ceramics.
Hey Justin, the Z looks outstanding! do you care to share what the PPF and ceramic coating set ya back? had mine done 4 years ago and I thought it was a lot @$4700 but id do it again!
I have the front bumper, hood, mirrors, headlights, side skirts, rockers, and rear quarter panels done. The panels are wrapped if they can be (without removing things).
@@HorsePowerObsessed got it. Thanks for the quick reply! I am getting my entire Z06 wrapped +fusion and I only have a choice of two installers in my town. They aren't giving me peace of mind that the imperfections will be gone so I may get that done beforehand with a detail shop.
@@HorsePowerObsessed hey Justin! Do you know what a standard fare deal would be for a normal consumer? I'm in San Diego so I'm sure everything cost more here but I'm curious to get your opinion. Thanks in advance
@@HorsePowerObsessed So what would it take in order for someone to pry it from your hands? Just asking, even though I believe I know the answer, which is likely the same as mine. :D
HorsePower Obsessed I think he's saying what a lot of us think but won't say. At the end of the day it'll be good for us Corvette owners to see his mods and "dialled In" Corvette I just hope he stays honest with his critiques of it. We all know that it's not the same or even close to a GT3 RS
It makes me wonder why he'd bother, though? If he is so happy with the high end foreign cars and has "his feelings" about a Corvette, why bother? I don't really like people hoping on the bandwagon for views. That's upsetting to me because I wouldn't have pegged him as that kind of guy.
Blackout Tinting. I believed so much in the product I got involved and co-opened a shop in Florida with the owner of Blackout Tinting. The products are amazing and they are true car people!
@@HorsePowerObsessed I’m thinking about shipping mine up there. Is the guy Josh that is in this video at the Latrobe location? Also did you do your entire car in the xpel? I have a c7 z and want to do xpel and ceramic. I was considering doing the high contact areas but wanted to see what you did. I know this was several years ago but do you remember what the cost was for both?
Normally the preparation and the actual xpel fusion plus is around $1500. The includes all the paint prep before the installation of the ceramic coating.
@@HorsePowerObsessed I just read this comment after making the same comment. The video makes your rears look pretty worn. It could be that Cup tread isn't too deep, brand new. I've heard ZR1 guys say they typically last around 5K miles, even driving like a grandma. The grandma part was a lie.
I had a 2 stage paint correction and xpel fusion ceremic coating recently done on my 2015 nissan GTR ..its way to soft and shows scratches with just the lightest touch with a new micro fibre towel..not happy..wasted 1k plus dollars on this coating..id been better to just had the 2 stage paint correction and used a nano spray wax like I use on my other cars in my collection..not worth the cost..its to soft..
@@HorsePowerObsessed first time using ceramic coat..but compared to other friends black show cars there coats are noticeably harder and have showed less scratching and more shine so far ..they went with opti coat ceramic coatings and love it..but my detailer was all about xpel .so I gave it a shot..but it scratches just looking at it..

How much did it cost you and where is Expel located?
Justin, Nothing like sitting in Bangkok on a Sunday afternoon and watching Vette vlogs. The day I purchased my ZO6 I dropped it off to have then Expel clear bra and ceramic coating. Well worth the money. Blue skies, Jg
It definitely is! The ease of washing it makes it worth it even without all the other benefits! 😁
It looks amazing! Black Out seems like a first class shop. I'm always nervous about leaving my cars with someone. But they knocked it out of the park!
Thank you. I'm the same way... always nervous but they have taken care of the car in a way that has earned my trust!
It looks absolutely spectacular. Simply gorgeous. It's so shiny and reflective I need sunglasses to look at it even from here. ;)
Lol thank you! It definitely looks good and it got a lot of attention at a local car show yesterday because of how shiny it was! 😎
Absolutely stunning Justin! Makes me want to grab my C8 in black and take it to Latrobe and get exactly what you had done to it.
Thanks, man! I actually thought the same thing but I wanted 2 different looking cars or else everyone will think they are the same lol
Thanks, Justin!
You're welcome! Thank you!
How is this holding up? Have you seen the new ceramic wash by Griots?
It's holding up very well actually! I have not seen that ceramic wash... off to Google! 🦸♂️
@@HorsePowerObsessed talk to them blackout boys, they'll let you know when it's in stock.
Definitely will! 👍👍
What works well for maintaining the Xpel ceramic coating? what products are you using and how frequently?
Those guys know their stuff!!! Most of my cars have been black, and that is one beautiful ZR1!!!🎬🎥🎤🏁🏁🏁👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Thank you! They definitely know their stuff!
Can’t wait to see the C7 & C8 beside each other Justin ❤️
I can't either! 😁

Wow I am so jealous it looks beautiful. keep up the good work
Thank you! I definitely will. 👍👍

It's funny you should mention that, Larry! I have that exact video coming soon! 👍👍
Looking awesome my friend! Amazing car just looks more amazing! Nice job by your detailers!
Thank you! It was a pleasure working with them.
I had my 21 Red Mist C8 done with fusion. Rainwater just evaporates off and I dont even see any dirt remaining like it does on my other cars with a Dy applied coating by Proje ceramics.
It's a really fantastic product and makes the car look brand new for a long time!
Justin, is the XPEL Fusion coating a dedicated coating just to go over XPEL's PPF, or can it be used on just the paint as well?
The coating is safe for just paint as well. I had Blackout put it on my Harley 1200 72 and it looks incredible
It's a ceramic costing that can go on paint as well as PPF.
I’ve had it on my paint direct for a few months now and it’s amazing... Best coating I’ve ever seen!
Awesome to hear! 👍👍
@@devnull128 Thanks.
Looks great. So I guess I will have to go for a 3 day drive to get my vet done. But first I need to buy one.
Definitely should be the first thing you do if you do get one! 👍👍
Hey Justin, the Z looks outstanding! do you care to share what the PPF and ceramic coating set ya back? had mine done 4 years ago and I thought it was a lot @$4700 but id do it again!
Mine was around 2400.00 but that's because I am working directly with this company. Definitely worth every penny.
agree its so worth it!
@@terrymertz1923 definitely!
She looks beautiful Justin.
Thank you! 😁
Did you have the whole car done? What do the edges look like? Did they wrap around all panels?
I have the front bumper, hood, mirrors, headlights, side skirts, rockers, and rear quarter panels done. The panels are wrapped if they can be (without removing things).
@@HorsePowerObsessed got it. Thanks for the quick reply! I am getting my entire Z06 wrapped +fusion and I only have a choice of two installers in my town. They aren't giving me peace of mind that the imperfections will be gone so I may get that done beforehand with a detail shop.
@@funwithCooper the installer is without a doubt the most important part of this so definitely go with someone you trust.
What did it cost for clear bra and Xpel Fusion Ceramic Coating? ZR1 looks great Justin.
Thank you! I got a deal with them so it cost me right around 2300.00 for the xpel ultimate paint protection film and the xpel fusion ceramic coating.
@@HorsePowerObsessed Thanks Justin good price.
You're quite welcome!
@@HorsePowerObsessed hey Justin! Do you know what a standard fare deal would be for a normal consumer? I'm in San Diego so I'm sure everything cost more here but I'm curious to get your opinion. Thanks in advance
@@MichaelGreco Full xpel clear bra and xpel fusion plus ceramic coating would be around 7k - 8k
You need to put some love into that garage floor.
Yes I do. That's coming soon, don't worry. 🤣🤣
Wow she looks Phenom sir 🤩
Thank you! It looks great and nothing sticks to it! 😮
HorsePower Obsessed 🖤 !
@@Does_it_come_in_black 👍👍
I sure hope you're keeping the ZR1 when your C8 comes in
I definitely am. This car isn't going anywhere!
@@HorsePowerObsessed So what would it take in order for someone to pry it from your hands? Just asking, even though I believe I know the answer, which is likely the same as mine. :D
@@cassiespencer6134 It would take a lot! At this point the only way I'd even consider it is if I made a lot of money on it lol
Looks great!!
Thanks, man!
Just wondering if you ordered/spec'd your ZR1 when you bought it or if it was on the lot and that's the one you got?
I didn't spec it, I found one that met my requirements (luckily)
Matt from Obsessed Garage just bought his first Corvette. This will rock the Corvette community Lol
Yeah I saw he got one... He doesn't seem real thrilled about it, though.
HorsePower Obsessed I think he's saying what a lot of us think but won't say. At the end of the day it'll be good for us Corvette owners to see his mods and "dialled In" Corvette

Agreed. He usually does!

Shoot me an email and I'll help facilitate getting your car there/pricing/etc. You can reach me at Horse.Power.Obsessed@gmail.com.
What did it cost?
Thank you! I got a deal with them so it cost me right around 2300.00 for the xpel ultimate paint protection film and the xpel fusion ceramic coating.
What was the price for all that work
Was around 3k but every shop is different.
Broooo!!!! They did an awesome job on your car. Looks totally wet!!!
Thanks, D! 👍👍
How much did this whole process cost
About 2400.00.
How much did the XPEL FUSION PLUS cost ?
Normally the preparation and the actual xpel fusion plus is around $1500. The includes all the paint prep before the installation of the ceramic coating.
@@HorsePowerObsessed THANK YOU, for the very helpful info !!!!
@@MJ-vv4jc you're welcome!
Is Patrick still working at Blackout?
No sir. Why do you ask?
Can you buff out any imperfections on ppf film
To an extent you can, but you won't really need to. It's self healing, meaning any scratches you get in it will disappear with some heat.
@@HorsePowerObsessed okay thanks for the info
You're very welcome!
That black ZR1 will be worth a fortune someday. Oh yeah you need new back tires. Lol
I think it will be as well! I can't imagine why I'd need new rear tires already.... 🤔
@@HorsePowerObsessed

@@135iN55 lol no one drives this car like a grandma! but yes, the Cup 2's have very low tread to begin with. Brand new is 5/32.
Looks great. I don't think I would use the company that did my xpel. Lol. Yours seem to do much better.
Thanks! They did an amazing job!
🔥🔥
🤘😎🤘
Dude, those tires are already looking unhappy. Nice job.
🤣🤣 I run the car pretty hard but the tires are not actually showing much wear, believe it or not.
how much$$$$$ ?????
That looks KILLER! Non-Gay Batman would be proud! LoL 😂
🤣🤣 Thanks! PS. why do you think Batman is gay? lol
Not all Batman’s are gay, just the older one’s! LoL 😆
