Kurty Supercharged October 23, 2013 Author Share October 23, 2013 (edited) you intend to DIY the whole car? yeah.. i already did before, spray matt black to my small car.. nice, cool but shortlived.. thinking now, of doing the whole car but bigger ride.. buy in few liter, then find workshop do.. in malaysia, of course but again.. its not lasting.. read the reviews for whole car dip is quite bad... too bad, modern car paint cannot achieve such color... i wanted blaze blue Edited October 23, 2013 by Kurty 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinyl 5th Gear October 23, 2013 Share October 23, 2013 Why not consider wrapping if you desire something that lasts longer. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remierwan 1st Gear October 24, 2013 Share October 24, 2013 (edited) Hi Guys, Alternatively, you can send it for wrapping. I send my car for wrapping 2 months back. Wrap the roof including the tracks + side mirror at SGgarage. (http://sggarage.com/) The quality of the vinly is really good. Make sure that they are using the Oracal Vinyl from Germany. Matte - Glossy selections: SG Garage working on the roof: Roof wrapping ready: Mirror wrapping ready: Went to another shop to wrap my grille: (Johnson at Ubi : https://www.facebook.com/johnsonstickers) Result: I have seen other cars doing a full body Matt wrapping. About $500-$700 depending on the size and detail of the car. I did mine for about less than $200 in total. There are cars that came back after 3 years and the vinyl looks brand new. Any wrapping issue, you can come back and they rectify the parts for free. I recommend SGgarage because they are friendlier, cheaper and less car. (However, you still need to schedule) Johnson Stickers is good too but they are always pack with luxury cars. But their work is professional. (The front grille work that they did is flawless) Overall, upon inspection of full body wrapping, both produce same good quality. Hope you get the effect that you are looking for.

Spraying the whole car would cost about that much. Anyway, $500-$700 was the quote that I received recently. But I might be wrong. True about having limited colour for Vinyl. But still there are cars coming out frosted black, frosted blue, etc. Its all about ordering the right batch. From what I know, the workshops will only bring in popular color. Because 1 roll of vinyl is not cheap. That is why I had to do my grille wrapping at a different shop. As long as you are willing to pay for the whole roll, and if the color is in demand, I am sure they can bring in for you. Another way is to find other cars who want to share the roll with you, bring to workshop and pay them to fix on the car. Nice work on the grill by the way.

Nice work on the grill by the way. i did my matt paintwork, 2 colors for my small car, it already cost me $1.5k.. like i mentioned, shortlived..but really no need maintaining.. i never polish car.. and only washed once a month.. I must save, BMW has the best color code around.. especially frosted black and blue.. so beautiful, frosted colors has been around in the market for a few years but it seem none can actually produce such colors.. only BMW can do it.. my workplace, there's a BMW which in frosted blue.. such a beaut.. a class of its own often, my colleagues and i were discussing if it's vinyl or paintwork.. i may really go for frosted blue or blaze blue.. something classy or loud anyway the grill work not by me.. i got butter fingers.. can't do anything much.. done by my mechanics.. they are the skillful ones Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

elecan October 24, 2013 Share October 24, 2013 (edited) How to remove b pillar? my b & c very dirty... if can, also wish to do it I wasn't too direct, I'm going to plasti dip the interior trim around the a, b and c-pillar. I think I will also dip the outside of the pillars and around the door trims, depending on how many cans I have :) My trims just sits with clips and some fasteners, easy to remove, just need some mechanical stimulation (some tugging).
