JustGav Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Funny enough I like the idea with that, easy colour change, and protects the paint Anyone remember that audi s4 that was driven across the US covered with blue 3m tape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamesmark Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Should have a warning with it. 'Do not buy or get this done if you're sexually frustrated'. Lets face it though it is bigger than a beer bottle label, so should satisfy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Thats impressive, how much does it cost compared to a respray? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukeyboy2k Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 When I was formulating one of my money making schemes I came up with something rather similar. Initially I thought of the clear covering to protect from stone chips................someone beat me to it. Then I took the idea a step further with the whole colour change thing. I didn't think there would be any chance of being granted a worthwhile patent so didn't pursue it any further. I'm thinking this could be a viable business for mass produced colours, but for custom jobs probably not. I'm glad to see someone has actually tried it though.

Branners Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 they run a vinyl wrap on taxis in London I believe. Hence the craaazy colours on a black cab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcAB10 Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Didnt they have that stuff in that rubbish american version of Taxi? they did it to the BMW's i think. yeah i remember that, blue to red or vice versa. with a vinyl wrap would there not be no depth to the colour also after washing it a few times would it not scratch and swirl easily? after a while i doubt there would be any shine left?

Bobbeh Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Sadly that 911 doesn't so look good, but I like the idea with the Bimmer, protcecting the paint is always a benefit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
