Talking Matte Black G????

Hey guys, I was just wondering how come theres not that many Matte Black G out there.
So this week I have decided that I am going to wrap my G.
I will post pics as I get the project started. Feel free to comment on this post.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
For those who want to wrap
I have a contact with one of the biggest distributors in the U.S of vinyl material. They also do retail work as in signs, banners, car wraps, etc. They also have the largest printer in America that they print on for their big jobs!!!

I went by his warehouse today and we started talking, and it looks like i will be able to get my hands on their materials.

If you are serious about wrapping your car I can get you the materials at a very competitive price

They use multiple companies for vinyl from 3M to Oracal. This is the high grade air release vinyl! Top of the line! It is UV protected and depending on your color choice it will be laminated as well.

The product i am looking into specifically to re wrap my car and my friends will last 10yrs.

Roughly speaking for those who want "quick" quotes for your car = the rolls are 60 in wide and 150ft long. A car (M3) to be safe you would need 60ft length for a mess up or two to wrap your car.

its really cheap compare to getting it professional done. and I can help you get any color you want, ( matte black, matte white, gloss, even hot pink)


If any of you guys are interested PM me and I can order for you.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So.....after a couple of days of work......................

I am finally done wrapping my car (took me around 3 days....without any experience in wrapping, it was worth it), here are some pics.










































































----------------------------------------------------------

it would look better if i washed it, I will post more pics when I black everything out.

PM me if you are interested in wrapping your car too

We just finished my roof and hood today, looks pretty nice, and was pretty easy to do. I will post pics when the sun is out tomorrow.

Divide the bubble into smaller ones, then rub in circles with fingers to get rid of it





Then smooth it out with squeege



fold the imperfection to the inside non-visible part











I used a card to shove the vinyl into the crease, and cut the extra with a razor















So far we did, the roof, hood, rear bumper, rear side panel. More pics will be posted later. Feel free to comment for advice and questions

Looks nice. There was a guy that did the same thing to a GT-R and came out really nice too. Great alternative to painting.
