[True Pyroman]

that's cool as ****, got pricing?

[Captain-Obvious™]

wow...I wonder if you can tell the difference up close

[Sammich]

thats freakin sick

[Dirty Octopus™]

WOW! :eek:
I wantz it! :yes:

[LiL PaKi]

wow...I wonder if you can tell the difference up close

^^ x2

[LaoboiLB]

that kool

[Spektrewing386]

is that the stuff they put on new cars at the dealer?

[Alan®]

isn't that the same process they use with nascar?

[greasemunkey]

no bubbles in it like tint?

[stock05evo8]

that **** is hella cool... how much would it cost?

[Brett]

Damn that is wicked, I would do that sh*t in a heartbeat if it wasnt to pricey. I wonder how glossy it is though and I bet when you get a rock chip then it makes a small hole in it, youd see the under color.

[mogaffar]

ive used that stuff its 3M vinyl tape, used for like signs n ****. I black out my super white 300zx roof with it, **** ROCKS!!!!. Ill post some pictures later, all you do is just get some soap water n spray it, set the sticker down and wait for it to dry. And presto you have a black roof :-P.

[blackboi50]

I DONT BELIEVE IT:eek:.......they prolly rolled a white BMW in to take the finished pictures!!!!! hahahhah i kidd i kidd

thats crazy as hell!!!:goodjob:......

prolly cost a grip 2!!!!!........1

[Jecht]

I wonder how much it costs to do that.

[BKgen®]

lol, i do vehicle wraps where i work. they're making it look a lot easier than it actually is in those pics. Price wise, it'll run ya anywhere from $1,000-4,000, depending on the car and what's on the wrap.

but it's cheaper than paint and it'll last for 5-6 years. and, your original paint won't get scratched.

[matthewAPM]

I have seen this used on race cars before. It is VERY strong and doesnt really chip. Up close, you cant tell unless it is peeling but if done by the right people, you cant tell.

I would love to use that on a rally/run. That way when u get chased, peel it off and its like a different car.

[iNsTuN nOoDoH]

I wonder if its the same film that's used to cover the s2000 front windshield frame that's black. If it is, then its pretty shiny.

[dz988]

that **** is sick

if someone wanted to do their top half black... would still be as much?

There's a guy i meet that did it to Hondas and made them look like JTCC touring cars.

He made an EXACT replica of the Jaccs Civic and Spoon civic. He said he ordered the wrap from Germany.

nope, wouldn't be as much as a full wrap. been thinking about wrapping the top of the Tib in black :D

[osnap]

DAMN thats crazy

[Hayes21890]

yeah but it would be hard to get the door jams, engine bay and all those other tiny and hard to reach areas coveres

[DieselNuts]

how does it react to being washed?

[BKgen®]

yeah but it would be hard to get the door jams

Not as hard as you think.. we have our tricks. :D


engine bay

Nobody ever wraps into the engine bay. Wraps are just for aesthetics... not like a full paint job you would get at a body shop.


how does it react to being washed?

wash it just like paint. won't bother it a bit.
you can even wax it. actually, wax is recommended.

[VickNotic]

damm that sh it is hawttt

[DieselNuts]

I dont think anyone that would be showing their car would use this as a replacement for paint. I think the main objective is to protect the paint.

[ash7]

can you PM me the name/location of your shop? :) I'm interested in getting a quote/timeframe for something along these lines.

powers how much you charge to wrap my POSeo?

[OTG Signs]

More than you can afford, pal.

The cost on that stuff is a ton, then there's labor on top of that. However, if you want to do it the cheap way, there's another way: with standard vinyl. It still has a ten year warranty, is just as flexible, comes in just as many colors, and would run about $500 for the whole car, before labor.

[Boosted FC]

That's the same thing that was done to that 4-door BMW in the movie Taxi with Queen Latifah. It was tight when they ripped it off the car & just drove past the cops.

My bad :D.

[OTG Signs]

I'd charge you like $150-200 for the vinyl. Labor is where it gets expensive.

[southside]

Niceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

is it that hard? maybe you could "show" me how its done :D

[mogaffar]

not that hard, i dont know of what technique they used but when i blacked out my roof using 3M vinyl tape and all i did was lather up the tape real good with soap water, made sure no bubbles and waited 10 min. Then cut away the excess and done. Came out awesome and i didnt even have to paint my roof :-P

[LightningSpeed]

so its a big sticker?

[G.C]

[Killer]

[Mad Mike]

Theres a 95 ford escort in white county thats fully wraped in camo. He works at a sign making place and they wraped his car and there chevy van and it looks good.

[JDMrequired]

wow what a pain in the ass. why not just take it to a professional?

[OTG Signs]

is it that hard? maybe you could "show" me how its done :D

It can be frustrating at times. And you can mess up very easily. I could show you how, that's no problem.

[OTG Signs]

That and you can make any color metallic too. A lot of flexibility in this.

[OTG Signs]

wow what a pain in the ass. why not just take it to a professional?

Who do you think is doing the install on that M3? -It certainly isn't the owner.

[FoolsDrifFWD]

its just body wrap they have been doing that 4 years now.

[X-Runner]

I almost had the hood of my Civic done with a CF look just to keep from painting it.

[Doppelgänger]

haha @ some of you acing like the idea of putting vinyl on a car is a new idea.
It's not that easy or fun....this took me 12 hrs...mostly on just the orange. Not to mention it took me 7 hrs to take off/wash/wax/clean.

its been done for forever. The japanese mafi wrap their cars black and i think sone cab sompanies wrap their cars too so they can sell it easily when they're done with them. here are some pics...enjoy!

[Nittanys1]

I know a few ppl in the car wrapping industry and a good quality wrap is pricy, but it looks really good and can protect the paint at the same time! I'd like to play with some but at that price it isnt worth paying for it and messing it up...

[merfwin]

hes ****ed when it rains..

[JITB]

"They have been wrapping cars for years"...

can we get someone to confirm this?

[X-Runner]

I dont get it?

[5thgcelica]

**** that ****. ive had to peel that **** off mr sparky vans before. it sucks, takes forever and not to mention the mess it leaves behind.

it looks good at first, but the sun ****s it up after awhile. when i was takin it off. that **** was baked on to the sun and the roof.

but hey. whatever floats your boat.

[mushroom_toy]

lol if this was done by a honda owner it would be rice lol.

Did you get paid to do it? -Okay then, quit whining.

It was confirmed pages ago. The ability to wrap cars with vinyl has been out for ages now. The only new technology with it is the ability for it to last a decade now.

You're not too bright.
