BMW from black to white - without paint

Loads of places will do wraps, ask around at signwriters. The finish is no where near paint quality though.

Top stuff

Looks very good

Wouldn’t it do damage to the paint underneath though?

vxrmarc should coat his white car in this to prevent swirls.

Anyway, how do you wash it?

Bucket and sponge?

I'd be interested in this, but only if I could give it 51 coats of wax.

Satin black coupe?

Is that not what they put on touring cars etc?

Pretty cool idea IMO, although surely a stone chip would still damage the paint underneath?

Its the same stuff they put on race cars, vans, trucks, loads of things, just this is a plain colour.

Awaits obligatory "protects the **** inside comment"

Well, I had to get it in there first eh

You'd have a bit of a shock if you bought it and took a Porter Cable to it to find the white rubbed off

Bennah · 11 Aug 2008 at 22:16

I like it

Would be good to see a 335i is Matt Black though!

Griffo · 11 Aug 2008 at 23:15

I want to see inside panels, inside doors etc?
Looks pretty damn great from outside though!

If you ever get a taxi in Germany have a look closely at the cream 'paintwork' on it.

It's a very common process.

Honestly why?

You'd think heat from the engine would start to bubble it eventually.

They did a van on some show on tv (i cant remember which one, it was one of those used car wrecks to riches types) ages ago... it was blue bubbles it looks quite smart.

Yeah that was the vw camper van, mike from mikes motors and that other engineer guy, "Ed" i think.

Stobart have been doing this to trucks for years.......

Stickered up White Scanias.

Considerably cheaper than having the trucks spray painted in such a livery.

Its common on the trucks, so I'd imagine it being an issue with the car also.
