The clear wrap is virtually invisible. If I did not tell you, you would probably not notice it.
How is it holding up? At week #3, everything is fine. Material and installation is warranted for ten years, whatever the heck that means. Detailer says that modern vinyl wraps are more resistant to chips and abrasion than clear coat and paint, but he’s also the guy selling the stuff, so caveat emptor.
Shop around. I got quotes ranging from $750 to $2,500. A quality job should require a full day and overnight.

CX5 Crystal soul red
Hi everyone just a update on my CX5 Crystal soul red still in the paint shop it is going on a month know one is really saying to much having trouble getting the color right sounds like. I've bee n told more than once I should ask for a buy back any suggestions out there that might help me convince Mazda they should give me my money back.

If it's a reputable paint shop, color match should be no problem. I had my 2016 Soul Red cx5 about a week when some one hit me in the front! I went to an independent shop who replaced the front bumper and matched the paint perfectly.

That's great, but SR Crystal Metallic is a different proposition than SR Metallic!

I understand that, it's the skill that matters, not the color. I've never been to a dealer body shop that did good work like a reputable independent, the dedication usually isn't there.

Mazda does not have a body shop in our town but ford does so that's where they have it. I can't say weather they are good or bad have not had much experience in that field,I do know by talking to some of the other shops it takes more than 2 days to paint a whole car when done properly. They didn't just tape it off and spray it. They stripped right down and I am in Canada not the US makes quite a difference.
