Ya know i was thinknng bout this after reading this thread, what if ya used something along the lines of that clear rock gaurd/protector that you put on your hood and bumpers.Do ya think that might work????
I'm deffinately considering this stuff for a project car. dont know if it will hold up.
It's not tested well enough. but it's cheaper than painting.
also should consider neffywrap. and chameleon.
may do a mix of a carbon and chameleon. I'll post prices and colours.
a full carbon fibre car may be a bit excessive. although ill have genuine tailights hood + spoiler, i think it will only work on widebody style cars....
if everyone starts doing it, it may become the gayest thing around but no1 has it yet....

Haha, well I'm going to have to redo the seat belt bolt covers. I think I'll cut section pieces of each slope and lay them flush with each other

i guess so, if you mean like the clear vinyl stuff then yea that would work, but seems like to much work to me lol
and to 808, when you do try to clear it make sure u wipe it down with some degreaser or something first, ive painted a couple car parts and my motorcycle so i have had some experiences where the clear doesnt stick
it technically sticks to the surface but not evenly so it looks like ass cuz it has dimples everywhere
let me know how it goes
will 40square foot cover the exterior of most cars?
I'm just assuming so. too lazy too measure up.
was quoted 500+ locally for 10 meters.
doing pillar sections and above the doors is gonna b a b**** though.
thats sux about the clear. but it starts looking plastic like in the jobs i'v seen clearcoated

know this is about a week late, but i doubt 50 sq ft would cover a car. a hood by itself is almost 5x5, figure the trunk is too after the bend, so poof theres your 50 ft.
youd need probably 150 sq ft to cover a car... its not going to be in the ideal shape and youre going to have a lot of scrap

I want to try this out and clear it with the urethane clear that I have laying around, but I got bigger projects on my hands right now.
Got an email this morning and apparently my wraps are on there way
Hopefully I'll see it in 2 weeks timenow the waiting game begins
its now almost 4 weeks later and I still haven't received it WTF!
