This came up really well! You did an awesome job! I didn't realise it was a wrap until I read the entire post (I only come on here for the pics ).

How hard is this to apply? Is it similar to tint where you spray the surface with a solution and rub out the air and let it dry?

Some of those areas would've been a bitch (mirrors). Result speaks for itself though!

I didn't think Supply1 sold Avery, only GA Mart and Spandex?

Looks very neat, did you have to do many joins or did you get each panel in 1?

Even though this is a 32 with a 34 front end, it still looks hot all blacked out on lenso's.
Just an idea.

I was thinking of vinyl when I did my s13 Matte Black, but I'm glad I didn't. The texture I got from the cans I used is rather unique.

Yours looks kick ass though. Like it alot.

Wraith

Great. Now I am inspired to carbon fibre or matt black wrap my bonnet.

bloodzkull

how much vinyl do you think would be need to wrap a motorbike (full faired)?

Thanks!

It is tough to apply, very time consuming and requires a lot of patience and practice, its a lot different to using tint (that said ive never used it myself) but the idea with this vinyl is that it is very conformable, so it stretches heaps, and then using a heat gun you can shrink it again.
This is how you get around corners/curves and all sorts of crazy shapes on the body and other parts.
I haven't tried wet applying it, i do it all dry, but i may give it a go to see if it works well with this particular product.



Sorry it was Spandex,
I keep getting them confused as i use a few different suppliers at work :S

RusH_

Thanks dude


Well if you're in brisbane, i'd be more than happy to provide the service,

Also, as a hint to what's to come, i also have a few meters of 3M Carbon fibre vinyl sitting at home...


i couldn't tell you without looking at it bud, but id guess no more than 5 - 7 meters, probably less

And for those wondering, The manufacturer gives this up to 10 years out door life in Aus conditions, now my car lives outside (to my dismay) so she is copping the hot, cold, rain and sun all day every day, ill be sure to update with any details of wear, but at this stage (about 2 months in) its still going strong

Wraith

Shame I ain't in Brisbane

Price me on putting the GTS stripes back on my Monaro please mate, bootlid bonnet and minor nosecone part only.

ive always been a fan of matt black. and on a late model car with tasteful mods (simple kit, black rims, mint offset) it looks choice

i know i could never do this myself. props mate. well done

Wraith

Looks like you could have some jobs on the side due to your accomplishment

RusH_

pm'ing shortly


Thanks bud,

Also to note

I plan on going z-tune style skirts and rear pods, and a v-spec II style front lip
and most likely 18" black drift teks


That was always my intention after i finished my car, as it is i do vinyl graphics for quite a few places (EFI performance and ERD to name a few)

But now want to also move into wrapping as well as you can see

MaccaColt

Awesome man, gives me some ideas.

Know of any online retailers?

RusH_

Not online ones im afraid, only places i would be buying from are ags, supply one and spandex, and possibly graphic art mart, they are all in brisbane and most have offices in other states also

Black wheels with machined lips

Awesome car!

Bet its a cop magnet though lol

MaccaColt

I found a place on line easy as

RusH_

Thats graphic art mart, the place i just mentioned, all of those businesses have websites

RusH_

Im also a fan of the black with machined lip, but i think im sold on black on black for this project,
And surprisingly no, i dont get much cop attention at all, touch wood

Looks the goods bud! I looked into this alot about 6 months ago, really wanted to wrap my rx8 matte black! It's huge in Europe! Pretty much all the cannon ball run cars are wrapped and probably 1/2 to 3/4 of the matte black exotics you see on the net are wrapped rather than painted! There is a guy overseas who has a matte black new gtr, the wrapping work on it is insane! If you google matte black gtr pics of it will come up! Good work for actually going out an doing it. I think my rx8 would probably be the meanest looking car on the road in matte black....

elltee

you got too much time steve... that matte black will look good with the fgh auto logo

I like the idea of vinyl wrap because if you got sick of it, within a day it's white again.

Sharpy

I dont like it, but that's because I don't like matte black, the work itself looks great.

Hoon

Vinyl wrapping would be a son-of-a-bitch for sure...good job tho.

unclepaulie

i think i see this car at subway sometimes, the one on beaudesert road

good work mate, looks good.

hav you done the boot yet?

RusH_

Thanks bud, yeah ive seen the r35s in matte black, looks mean

RusH_

Haha, not whilst i was doing the wrapping, and i bet it would lol



Yeah thats right, definatly an upside

Thanks anyway dude

RusH_

Its definatly a lot of work, thanks bud, i think it was worth the effort

Yeah thats me, trying to eat healthy.... Pfft, bootlid is getting re-fibreglassed next week, so hopefully before the weekend itll be wrapped.


Ive also go new pics to go up tomorrow, b pillars are now wrapped in carbon vinyl, and am about to make 2 purchases that should compliment the look just perfectly

RusH_

Some new snaps from saturday

B-Pillars wrapped in carbon vinyl

Street Tuned

Looks awesome mate, now just lower it, tint the windows dark and put some reall nice offsetted rims on it.

Personally I think some Bronze deep concave TE37s would look sensational on it. Black would be too much, white - NO!, and silver wouldn't match the satin black. Id go Bronze TE37s for sure.

GHOSTY

Looks good, nice

lsears

Looks really good man

RusH_

Love TE37's, also LMGT4's neither of which i can afford, so its going to most likely be drift teks in black, as personally i love black on black




Thanks guys!
