Matte Black 197

[Gav197]

Thinking of wrapping my 197 matte black...

Has anyone done this?

 

[pritchardR27]

i havnt seen one, what colour is it now? if its already black then will look good inside doors etc and if there is a stone chip it will still look ok

 

[withoutabix]

there was one on Pistonheads up for sale earlier in the year

didnt look all that! needs mods to make it work ie black alloys and coilovers

When you say wrapping do you mean like stickers but full coverage in a single colour?

 

[pritchardR27]

yea can be done very well

 

[Maz]

I think this is what I have been quoted for as paint protection, ventureshield ?!?

 

[pritchardR27]

carbon wrap

Is there no damage to the original paintwork with it?

It's just like a big sticker.

On removal there's probably some residue but nothing terrible

Guessing it can go pretty wrong like hanging wall paper

RE: the carbon wrap, there were several cars with wrapped panels at Ford Fair this year, typically they looked fine, until you saw a car with a real carbon fibre bonnet, roof, etc. at which point the wrap looked a bit rubbish IMO. By the end of the day, carbon wrapped stuff was just looking cheesey, and obviously fake.

what about ST Orange? i want a colour that's unique?

There'a company called APM in the traders threads on here - they'll do it and at a discount for 197.net members.

I vaguely remember a quote of 950 for the whole car.

They'll do pretty much any colour imaginable;

its a pearlescent paint, think youll struggle.

Matt black cars are very very delicate and require a lot of after care to keep on top of.

The increased surface area of the film (compared to paint) means they harbour a lot of dirt, and hold on to it, as well as water. This is of course, without any protection.

Have a read of this...
