Single-Turbo SC300 being wrapped in vinyl
This is from another forum. I think the vinyl is too flat. It needs some sheen to it. Plus nice lack of an air filter on the turbo.
Before:
During:
Here's a vinyl that's going on a G35TT ("the best wrap in the world"). Notice more sheen--more of a semi-gloss than primer black:
That looked waaay better before.
Cool stuff..

that flat black shit is played out.
The owner did it himself. Even though he didn't do it the right way, he saved a LOT of money. Total cost was probably about $400.
This new stuff is semi-gloss and feels really slick. Pretty cool stuff!
More props for doing it himself!
We actually got the 970 in gloss black recently but have yet to try it out.
I've read that the RA "texture" on the back of 970 shows through gloss black. You'll have to let me know either way. I could see it just a little bit on the Orange and Silver, but the matte black hides it.
Just wanted to clarify here: I was mistaken by saying it was done the wrong way. This was in reference to me assuming the headlamps were not removed (which should be done for a wrap). I read that the lights were removed, so I stand corrected!
Also, the $400 figure is just a guess. I don't deal with that brand of vinyl at all. Apparently it is much more expensive due to the laminate layer.
what makes you say he didnt do it right? looked better before but as far as the wrap goes, i think he did a real good job. i dont see the first seam where it was pieced together.
See the bottom of the second page.
my bad. so i am guessing you do this type of thing.
they ruined that car, good work but gross. And they killed the wheel while they were at it!
It's all about that carbon fiber vinyl.
that is fckin cool..... i want to do that
How much would that cost ?

From my understanding, the price of a "good" paint job. The only perk is you can remove it when you get tired of it.
If you do it yourself, it's roughly $400-800 depending on what vinyl you use.
Much better before.

it went from a very tasteful, mature and clean car too looking like a 16 year old hand me down from a junkyard with some added wheels

buhauaha.. the idea was nice.. the execution was well.. poor
I'm thinking the opposite, that the execution was nice and smooth, but the idea wasn't so good. Flat black on an SC just doesn't flow. Looked much better before.
i like it.very creative and different!

Are you kidding? Flat black hasn't been creative or different for years.
UGA: Everybody is laughing at us this year.
looked waaaay better before imo
This car is wrapped in vinyl, which color do you think it is?
Bozzio for president.
that wagon was originally black.
Wow, needless to say, but none the less it will be said, yall just ruined a beautiful car
BUILT NOT BOUGHT .........
The OWNER of the car ruined it. Read more.
I think it's a good cheap not long lasting way to make a change to your car. A lot of magazine and trade show booths won't take a car that looks the same as last year, so they want an update of some sort and usually paint does the trick.
I liked it alot better before the vinyl.
wont it rip?
No
damn that shit already looked good as it did...it really didnt need the vinyl ; /
riding low is like a religion
Not to be a thread jack, but I just got a motorcycle that needs new paint. What place around here can wrap motorycles?
