Not sure if you're being sarcastic with the green font. You put it in a spray gun. I haven't done it myself, but I'm considering matte black for one of my projects. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7J6rRj98A5s |
^^^I was being sarcastic....but wth, I didn't know that you could do this....interesting!

Spraying with plasti-dip is an option. Easier to clean and reshoot if it gets peeled up. But... Can't was it with any abrasives.

For Alex:
Unfortunately, I don't have any pics of the wrap in-process. I think it took me ~40 hrs of actual wrapping (with probably 2x that in prep) and there were a couple of "re-do's" because I made a few mistakes. I was into this for ~$375 in wrap materials (not counting prep materials). Here's one pic of the car entering our local Cars and Coffee event. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1458183950.jpg The silver is wrapped. The black lower rockers/front/rear valence is paint (Rustoleum satin black over textured truck bed liner) to make rock chip repair relatively easy. Front valence has cut-outs in place of the fog lights for ducting air to the oil cooler. One thing I like about the wrap is that I don't worry about messing up an expensive paint job. I figure if somebody scratches a door or fender that I'll just redo that section. |
I'd consider a wrap but the rain gutters on a coupe just seem to scream major pain in the ass.

Do it! I used to not be a fan, but the vinyl has gotten really good in recent years! And on a car that nice, please pay someone. I have years of experience applying vinyl, and I thought wrapping a 930 was a major pain in the ass and I wasn't happy with how it turned out.
And Craig, do it! We've had some pretty cool wraps done on customer cars. I'll see if I can find the photo of the 991 we had done recently. |
Satin White wrapped 991 Turbo S cab. Looks killer in person, and you really can't tell it's not paint!http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1458196738.jpg

It was originally silver, and then had a bad silver re-spray on top. (It's a '75 Targa 911S but not one of the silver anniversary models. I does have the factory hard-top!)

Thanks Peter.....a whole bunch of links to other videos!
I'm now tending more towards a Red Chrome wrap, as in this 911 Carrera: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51V07IeQn2s |
I've seen the red chrome on an MB, looks killer, but it shows scratches like a mofo. Have to be careful about how you wash and dry the car. Like not with a towel of any kind.

^^^Ah, shyte!...thanks for the heads up!

Well, she's going in tomorrow! I'm going ahead with the red metallic G203, like the wrap on this Bim:
http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1458332733.jpg I'll get her back in about a week and hopefully no issues!:p |

I was going to sand her down and repaint her but I didn't have the $8K-10K. Had it done for under $2K and when I take it to cars and coffee folks can't believe it. I kept it Grand Prix White. I think it looks good. Scott has seen it and drove it - he's an honest guy. Scott? what do you think? Its not Mint, or Concurs but she's a nice 3 footer! |
Lubey... After the wrap, how does it fare with sun exposure? Any curling or stretching m/peeling at the edges? Did you pull the seals and wrap under them?
|
My 930 has fiberglass fenders, bumpers, and hood. Any concerns with wrapping fiberglass?

And she sure does drive nice. |
