    **E30 M3 Car Wrap/ Restoration by WrapWerks**

    Finally got around to taking a few proper shots of the car. The whole vehicle was wrapped in Matte Orange/Red Oracal Vinyl. This is by far the most difficult car I have ever wrapped considering the car was stripped of paint (is very difficult to get vinyl to adhere to sanded body) and the amount of 90 degree bends on this car. Either way, after about 30 hours, I think she came out great and the whole project has been a lot of fun. Here you go :thumbsup:

    The black and white looks like the car is looking angry!!

        I'm gonna guess $3000 maybe less since there was no design time or printing involved. Looks amazing. My brother and I were just talking about wrapping my car in a flat red vinyl.

          Right now I am charging $1999 for these cars. Prices vary but my shop has just opened up so I'm not charging top dollar yet.

            I'm sure it wasnt easy to do,like you mentioned above but something aint grabbing me on this. Not sure why yet?
            But the work,from what I can see in the pictures, looks like it was done like it was painted.Wish you the best.

              $1999 is good. My father does this on a little more of the advertising side of the business so my price ideas always account for some design work and printing.

              If you don't mind revealing a few secrets I would love to know how much material you used on the car, the price per roll, and who I can get it from. I would be interested in seeing what other colors are available as I have only scene this and black. But this color is amazing.

                    I almost had my white M3 wrapped to advertise my ice cream business last year.
                    The thought of doing my DS M3 is also now a possibility.

                      Why would you even put the wiper sprayers on? How long does a wrap like this last before it peels or gets faded? I assume there' nothing you can really do protect it from sun damage, and if it gets a scratch the whole panel needs to be redone, right?

                        vinyl can last up to 7 years depending on the vinyl in outdoor conditions.

                        however, vinyl wraps should really not be left on for more than 2 years. you risk really damaging the paint (it's a risk from day 1 though) if you leave it on longer than that. of course, if this car is sanded, who gives a crap. vinyl is not a permanent solution, but it's a really fun and easy way to do quick changes.

                        are those overlay lines on the bumper? im surprised they are that visible. also surprised you didnt wrap the bumper as one unit.

                        for 30 hours of work, i would have charged at least $4000.

                            you could not have chosen a less natural candidate for the black roof treatment - i don't think it works very well.

                            nice wheels though. :)

                              it's missing the bumper tape indent. I don't like the smooth bumper look, I need indent, it just fits the car.
