cant tell if its a gloss finish or flat but sexy regardless

 

I helped a friend do his 350z in Flat White around Christmas and in the end he ended up spending closer to $1200 in vinyl. Its more expensive than most think.

well im skeptical. cuz if that was the case i doubt high end cars, bmw, lambos, porsches etc would do it. plus it will give me another skill to learn.

what brand and whered u get it from? any pics?

 

Its 3m, i dont know where he got it...The car is in florida with him now, so i cant get any pics anytime soon. Ur probably better off single staging the car white, rather than vinyl wrapping it. It would be close to the same price probably lol.

Wondering if any one knows how much vinyl you'll need to do a full body wrap on a stock exterior FD? I plan to do the matte black vinyl.

 

That's what I was told by the dealer when I was at Lamborghini Las Vegas. I have to agree, it's pretty ridiculous.

 

it actually has a gold pearl in it

 

Personally I think flat paint looks best on cars with sharp lines. I saw the carbon edition Z06 a few months ago that has a flat white (icy white is what it was called I believe), it looked pretty good.

ill post pics of what a 2nd gen looks like i got the paint. its a tri stage paint. what suprised me was the gold and blue thats in it . **** cost alot but oh well..

 

i agree with some of the other members save the money and paint it we have used white wraps on company vans and i sucks gets dirty and wont clean as stated earlier but if you do darker color in wrap i say go for it

 

its not a rice car paint the damn car lol

 

tell these guys that

 

 

I did my FD in the BMW "Frozen Grey Metallic" It's a satin/matte grey with a purple hue to it. I only have shitty cell phone pics, but I love the way it turned out.









The pictures don't really do it justice, but you get the idea.

 

^oh my, that is gorgeous. Wow.

 

Thanks man

 

paint or vinyl?

 

Paint.

 

Took my buddy to go pick up his new Ducati and saw this sexy beast there...

Matte white 848 evo, do want!

I saw an incredibly nice semi-gloss/matte pearl white Lexus IS tonight (Starfire Pearl) that looked absolutely incredible. I really like that "Frozen Gray Metallic" as well, hope you post some more pictures somewhere X haha.

Out of curiosity, if your standard good quality paint job is in the 3-4k range, how much extra would it be to stip the engine bay and have that painted as well? I am guessing that adds a few thousand extra to the mix?

 

I'm having my fd painted the same color. It's a nice pearl but has it's moments where it looks semi flat.

 

another alternative for this temp painting would be plasti dip.

check out his youtube

Gotta post pics when you have em!
