Jon B Posted March 1, 2010 Author Share Posted March 1, 2010 cheers was thinking it would look pretty sweet in satin black with white wheels...... did u use a 2 stage or single stage finish??? Link to comment
StrikE Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Yeah that would look the dogs dangle, when you getting it done? Link to comment
Jon B Posted March 1, 2010 Author Share Posted March 1, 2010 going to do it sometime in the next few weeks... need to boot my dad out his garage for a bit till i prep it lol. Link to comment
colin_ross Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 I love this look. I've considered it many times. Best option seems to be a vinyl wrap and then when you get fed up with it, or want to sell you just peel it off. I got it priced and £1k is enough to get a professional job. If I wasn't trying to keep the car looking standard I'd defo have it done. Link to comment
stum450n Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 I love this look. Oh my god! That's the sexiest scoob I've ever seen... always wanted one in satin! Link to comment
paul555sti Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Dunc from Hypertech has had a matte black wrap done on his hatch. Link to comment
lewisscoob Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 I just had a loooooooong trawl on the net for matte classics. Not many about but i did find a dude in the czech rep. who built and wrecked and rebuilt his track/rally car in matte black. Link to his thread below, pages 2 and 3 are probably the most interesting/relevant. http://www.i-club.com/forums/showthread.ph...4043&page=2 I was thinking of doing a matte black for my car but decided more horses would be more fun!

Jon B Posted March 1, 2010 Author Share Posted March 1, 2010 tbh satin black isn't a costly job if you can paint cars... i'm looking at about £200 all in for the paint and maybe 2 days prepping and 3 painting..... i've went for a single stage satin.... cos 2 stage can have problems with the matte lacquer... with single stage its a whole heap easier....2 days prep and 2 days paint with extra day for unforseen issues.. that and my trade is auto body.... gonna do whole spray job myself... will upload tutorial if enough interest..... gonna hire a booth for 5 days..... so gives me 1 day extra for unforseen issues.... can get booth for £80 per day.... was thinking satin black with cusco ze zero graphics in white and red......white p1 style wheels... all opinions greatly recieved...

colin_ross Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 all opinions greatly recieved... Do it Link to comment
lewisscoob Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Well if you can paint then it will be cheaper! Dont bother with graphics, get some chalk and you can do your own graphics, til it rains... Link to comment
thewelsho Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Do it I agree, 100% That's my next look for the car I think... and 1K is a great price! Who does it at that price Colin? Link to comment
camcq Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 I would go for it mukka. Iam in the process of doing mine satin white, with a slight pearl flip. and its going well so far. Link to comment
rio180 Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 looking forward to a progress update and pics Link to comment
colin_ross Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 I agree, 100% That's my next look for the car I think... and 1K is a great price! Who does it at that price Colin? I just googled "Glasgow vinyl wrap" and it was one of the first hits. Guy is Glasgow based and has a picture of a merc ml done in satin on the front page of his web site. I think £1k is me rounding it up as well, could have been a bit lower. Link to comment
colin_ross Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 In fact here you go http://www.carwraping.co.uk/index.asp?key=48 Group buy could prove interesting Link to comment
StrikE Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Must admit this looks so so sweet, would be a complete eye catcher. As said above just do it The subtle contrast with the vinyl graphic is even better, minted Link to comment
C_WRX Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Reckon it could look very good Jon, be quite interesting to see it. Wrapping wise I remember reading through this, cracking looking car and quite informative. Sure there's plenty other write up's like it out there but just keep remembering this one. http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/show...=vinyl+wrapping Link to comment
smiley kylie Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Id call that bordering on Pornography - more please Link to comment
