LiamGTR Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 (edited) I wouldn't get it sprayed, go wrapped but get gloss vinyl Imagine trying to sell a car with a painted matt black/black bonnet , roof, tailgate where as wrap is obviously removeable, and doesn't scratch as easy, and believe me you're bonnet will be scratched to hell in no time (i've just had a full respray) Edited January 29, 2012 by LiamGTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shocks Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 seen this done before, was not sure of it but having never seen it in the flesh i cant say if i like it or not, will make the car look lower for one, long as the body shop compounds the whole car so its all cleaned up it would look to clean if just the black polished up.

oMIKEYo Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 (edited) Looks good I was planning on doin that with my quarter panel line and down the front window. But in a satin laquer over the black like my wheels. You need to get some wheels to match the paint though, and also lower your car lol (dunno If it is - doesn't look it from pics) then get some skirts to finish off the 'side' look My cars wrapped in carbon and I got a satin (duller than glossy) laquer to go on my wheels so it matches more I also got the red in the same paint code as car. But apart from wheels - cars looking good next plans? Edit: if you'd of got it wrapped you wouldn't of ever had to be wary of stone chips. Wrap doesn't allow it so be careful with the new paint or get it clear wrapped! Edited February 3, 2012 by oMIKEYo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slugster Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 I'm not sure I like the outer part of the roof being black, it seems a bit 'top heavy' to me. Also the top of the front wing in front of the A post seems a wee bit unfinished, where the black suddenly hits silver. If it was mine I'd have just gone with black bonnet, roof and boot/spoiler. But, it's your car and you're damn well free to do whatever you want with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
