You had better tell me tonight what it is...or we're gonna have to have some dialog.

[Bavarian3]

Is it Vinyl? If it is, mind if you PM what you paid for it?

I always thought that camo looked awesome... yours is a lot better than this..

It looks way better than that, I saw it in person tonight. Plus Devon let me in on some secrets, and "it's gonna be tight!"

How did I miss this thread? I have been looking for pics of Dev's car somewhat complete for a while.


Love it! Can't wait to see what you continue to do with it.



P.S. - The drama was bonus. Thanks Charles!

It's not paint.

I would rock any color camo BEFORE putting those hideous things you call headlights on my car

true story!



OP that's a vynil wrap right? did you do it yourself of have it done? I'm thinking of wrapping my car...

[el bob]

That is hot, but as you already know and are working on, it needs to be on da floa

[E_DIRTY]

even if that isn't vinyl, vinyl is a good idea. they use it on the COT cars for NASCRAP. patterning is a good idea to hide the seams, how well is it holding up since you've been driving around, any rock chips or anything?

[DEV0 E30]

Thanks everyone!

It's vinyl.

I did the design, sent it to a printer, they sent it back, and me and some friends applied it late at night over the spread of 2 weekends. It was pain, but I'm more than happy with the results.

Seems to be holding up just fine. I haven't washed it yet, but you can't even see the bird crap on it. Success. It may not need to be washed. Ever.

Right now it's riding on the bears, but I only drive it maybe twice a week, still waiting on some cool things. It will be at bimmerfest, complete with a disclaimer: "I know, I'm not perfect, but daddy still loves me." sticker or something for anyone not satisfied with the imperfections. After bimemrfest, she will hopefully be a track slut.

I'll snap some today, it's lower, but not as low as it will be when cool things are done.

sounds cool, is it basically like applying window tint?

as far as the design, was it cut for the different body pannels of the car, or did you cut that out as you went? who was the shop you sent your design to?

and finally, what is the texture like?

Kind of, the vinyl that it's printed on I was told not to use water or any type of solvent with it. A heat gun and patience is what you need. The adhesive on the back side doesn't like water.

It was just cut out as we went, I wasn't worried about repeating because I tried to make the design pretty random. The company requested to not be named. I've got some companies bookmarked that do only vehicle wrapping though if you want to shop around.

Texture is smooth, and it's glossier than the pictures show, hell of a lot nicer than the used and abused Alpine underneath.

Oh this is awesome. I can't wait to see the final result. Good work.
