Wraps are gay as fuck
I restored classic cars growing up and painting is the way to go, that shits gonna peel off and you're gonna hate your decision.
10-15k for a full proper paintjob will last the life time of the vehicle if stored indoors.
My dads cars still look like they were painted yesterday and he made those in the 60's/70's

>>54427220
There are multiple images on the web of this car, what do you get out of making a larp thread like this?

>>54427296
>10-15k for a full proper paintjob
fuck off beaner

>>54427296
You can't paint some effects that you can easily get with wrap.
Specially matte colours.

But yeah, a good paint job outlast the wrap several times. The only good decision about wrapping is that you have factory paint under the wrap and it don't degrade with the sun.

>>54427220
I saw this type of shit on a Tesla the other day and was utterly disgusted. What possesses people to do this shit?

If I ever make 500k plus on my rose stack I’ll wrap my car in a biz style and post.

Did you read the post? At all? I said so it looks like the pic. I got the same kind of wrap. I’m not posting my own car.

>>54427327
I charged 10k in 2003 kiddo, I stopped working so In reality if I go back to painting restoring it's gonna be closer to 17k just to paint the car, that includes the jams, removing the interior and doing every nook and cranny, not a beaner I'm white and a child of the first customer car creators in the united states, and the father of all famous hotrods and classics.
Dad was born in 1936 and his brother were both artists trained by a ww2 battle of the bulge veteran.
A full restoration meaning break down to the frame and rebuild everything was 20k minimum in the mid 2000's
Unless they were 65 mustangs or volkswagons just because the parts are cheaper and way easier to find.
Also you literally know nothing about cars, 99% of people don't and we're in a subject of a culture board nobody uses.

It's literally wrapping it in heatable foil, it looks like dogshit and will never ever match a proper paint job.<div class="xa23b"><span class="xa23t"></span><span class="xa23i"></span></div>

>>54427333
also checked BUT that shit will bake into the paint guaranteed long enough when you attempt to remove it you're gonna be peeling off paint then you're in trouble.
I'm just saying if you're gonna drop money on wraps, do a proper paintjob done by people who are bonded and well known, it will only increase the cars value.

Based and true boomer advice. Wraps don't make sense long term unless you wanted to do some meme shit like cover your car in anime.

>>54427365
>The one link marine that actually sold and followed the Lambo meme dream

>>54427489
I plan on selling my car privately before 2025. Not sure if a dealership would even want mine considering they’d have to use extra resources to remove the wrap.

My next car is going to be a shitbox for sure.

>>54427480
And Id chase you out of my shop like my father would have.
Then you would come back up kicking dust when you can't find a competent painter, and I'll charge you double and you'll like it.

>>54427365
i remember this guy. he sold at 50 and everyone here gave him shit for it lmao

can't wait to wrap my mclaren 720s in some retarded anime weeabo shit

>>54427511
and then you wake up, realize that you have no clients because nobody is retarded enough to pay $20k to change his car paint from black to red, and beg me to come back and make me pay half for the job

Nah it looks good to me. Reminds me of lil uzis shit, lit af fr fr no bap, twin

>>54427393
wtf i would never let some paint covered spics disassemble my car and then its all fucking loose and rattling forever lmao.

>>54427435
Checked. I did this to my car. Most of it peeled off fine, but one quarter panel peeled off pain with the wrap (I recommend only peeling off on warm days in direct sunlight, and to not wrap repainted areas). I suspect the quarter panel had been touched up and that's why it peeled off. Wrap looked good for about 1 month, then after being parked outside it started staining and looking like shit (3M wrap, cost about $2k total).
>picrel

>>54427707
I really want to do this shit but it's hard finding high-res stock photos and stuff to get it looking right, especially since every car is unique.

>>54427220
Why not wrap it with clear satin or matte?
I actually wrap all mine because it helps keep the paint pristine (for when I need to resell it)

>>54428438
oof that's rough I never have taken off wraps but knowing what I know about cars and paint it just makes sense, the sun bakes into the clearcoat which is layered into the paint so one good rip and like removing anything sticky it tends to not want to come in one piece.

Painting cars is an alchemical art sure any novice can do it but if you don't take the proper steps it will likely fail, or not last the length it should.
>>54430303
Everything I said there is 100% factual, not a copypasta.

I'd dox the business name but autists here would put two and two together.

>>54428448
You need to work with an artist to come up with the livery and then get vector art for the whole thing. It's one of the reasons why they call it itasha, which translates to pain car

Im something of a GTA fan myself.

Any advice on how to fix it? I wanted to just repaint the quarter panel but everyone is saying to redo at least the entire left side. The car's not worth a $20k paintjob though and I don't really mind if the new black is slightly different than the old. The body shop I went to repainted the bumper awhile back and I'm pretty satisfied with that, but they have a massive waiting list.

>>54427268
ew

>>54433384
Absolutely can just paint the quarter panel you'll need someone to "blend" it since it runs into the top but basically they find a line to can match up and end the new blendcoat and sand it into the old clearcoat and will look seemless,
Ask if anyone can blend a quarter panel a decent painter should be able to pull it off.

>>54433384
Can't tell if it's a metallic or not if not and it's true black you lucked out, true blacks the same color on every vehicle, personally easiest cars to make money on for me since it's also the cheapest paint.

>>54427519
>pic
>runecape d scimmy build was 25 years ago

>>54433384
Also mind you my 10-20k paintjobs usually meant switching from say Blue to Red, meaning I gotta break the whole fucking car down otherwise a cheap faggot wouldn't paint the jams and you see see the color shifting every time someone opened the doors/hood and would look like a ronald mcdonald car, since your cars black and you want it black, assuming little to no body damage probably paint that car for 5-6k entirely.
You could do Maaco but know they don't clearcoat they use 1 stage enamel and it's like a turtle coat meaning they just paint it heavily on, usually runs and they don't sand the basecoat since it's enamel meaning you get tons of imperfections and will feel rough.

But it's cheap.

>>54427830
I knew artists who could paint this exactly, no wrap pure skill.

Mind you I know literally the starters of the industry, so it helped when finding talent because they loved training under my name considering the weight it carried in the car world.

>>54433418
>>54433406
Ok, cool. Thanks for the tips. Paint code says PX (Brilliant Black) but it's just a regular black paint (original to the car but in good condition, here's a better pic of the paint before the wrap).

Yeah, I want the car in yellow like in Initial D, but the black looks so good that it's a waste to spend money on anything short of a good job I guess, and those are expensive. I honestly wouldn't mind skimping on the door jambs and stuff since yellow exterior and black on the engine bay / door jambs would at least go well together.

I've seen other wrap jobs last for 5-7 years before starting to show wear (which I would still honestly still live with) but I must've chosen the wrong wrap, the wrong shop, and the wrong conditions (parked outside) so I guess I probably ended up with the worst case. But still, $2k put towards $5-6k for a paintjob would've been better spent.

Nobody is being an attention whore but you

>>54433544
Parking it outside did it, the sun hits those panels at 200 degrees on hot days, I know I've worked on them usually have to park them in the shade for an hour or two before I'm not burning my skin off, it baked the fucker on there, not unlike how clearcoat fades over time, it's the UV rays breaking it down, now that can be polished out but the wraps stuck.

Car looked good man looks like little to no damage, if you avoid jams then you can cut costs but will lower your vehicles value going away from original, a competent painter can blend that back easily, give it a proper touch up and you'll be pretty close to normal for less than 600-700 bucks.

>>54433569
Actually it's you iphone nigger you attempted to bait me about 4x earlier ITT alone and I didn't bite, I get back on and do a few responses and you swiftly come back to attempt to engage again.
It's sunday morning seriously fuck off can we get one day on this god forsaken site without niggers like you destroying everything they see.

>>54433544
Basically they find a line in the coat on the top panels, sand it, paint the quarter and blend the new coat into the old one and polish it making the molecules blend together making it seemless, takes special chemicals to work thou.

>>54433586

My first post in this thread was pointing out nobody gives a shit about your boomerisms. Sorry if that got you upset and you had to rehash some argument you had with someone else earlier
>Mind you I know literally the starters of the industry, so it helped when finding talent because they loved training under my name considering the weight it carried in the car world.
C'mon famous big shot it's sunday what is someone as famous as you doing on a site like this? Fuck off boomer

>>54433544
Also just a tip if you hire detailers who buff your car don't hire niggers or spics, they never clean their pads and guaranteed will sand rocks into your shit.
Had many dealerships let me go and hire niggers and spics just to have me come back and repaint their fucking polish jobs.

>>54427296
>admits to ID flipping to engage in psychological operations
Yeah I know faggot now fuck off.

>boomer replies to himself in a rage

SURELY you have something better to be doing on a sunday than sitting in a crypto camp for kids

>>54433654
Yea I'm drinking coffee and responding to a guy about his vehicle that I was literally spot on about happening.

What do YOU have better to do than attempt to engage and enrage people on a sunday morning, and I responded to myself because I was going to look for your first response but honestly I could care less about exposing a piece of shit like yourself, you won't leave anyway that's very clear.
You'll never own a nice vehicle.

>>54433674
Maybe because that was my first response you uber famous boomer retard

Spics are low class pajeets, at least jeets know how to code you massive nigger.
Chicken wire bondo jobs and rattle can work isn't the craft of automotive restoration.
>>54434746
>spraypaint metal
Please explain to everyone what base maker it takes, the type of paint, one stage, two stage, three stage, pearl overcoats, sanding, wetsanding, priming, polishing.

You have literally no idea how automotive paint is done, I know many of you here are trailer trash or beaner jeets but the cost alone on materials to paint a vehicle starts around 3k-4k before you even start.
>WHY SO HECKIN EXPENSIVE.
You can goto maaco where they spray a chemical adhesive to your old clearcoat and pour enamel over it, which will chip away in three years.

Anyone with knowledge in this craft would know real painting isn't simply "spray painting metal"

It is if you're some low class lazy jackass who has no love for the life blood of the american spirit.
This is just one of hundreds of vehicles my family and I made which are still winning awards 60 years later.

Yo, what's the sauce on this, bruv? Shit's fire! Just picture slapping a holoride retrofit on this bad boy and feeling every single whip and turn as you game, watch the news, work, or get your learn on like more edutainment. It's a total rush, man. Absolutely hella thrilling!!!
