This customer wanted a completely custom look for his F430. This is what we delivered. A complete color change from Grigio Silverstone to flat black with carbon fiber accents and 3M Window Tint. When we got this car a couple of weeks ago we were determined to perform our installation better than any we have ever seen before. If there was a better way to do our installation, we were going to do it. This included removal of interior door panels, front and rear bumpers, headlights, marker lights, emblems, etc. allowing a perfect "wrap".

Here you see the unassuming car getting washed up.


Film is going down




Here you see the side markers BEFORE.




Fresh Tint on the glass.


Wrapping of the door jambs begins.



Hood being wrapped.


Quarter panel getting ready for wrap.



As you can see rear bumper and all taillights removed to ensure a perfect wrap.


LR Quarter wrapped.




Rear bumper going on.



Rear quarter panel done seamless, the way it's supposed to be.


Carbon fiber accent door handle.


Engine vents out to get carbon wrapped.


Carbon fiber rockers.



One piece fenders going on, just like our paint protection film. Seamless, and headlights wrapped.



Carbon fiber going on front bumper inserts.



We decided to wrap lower scoop on front bumper also.


Front bumper getting wrapped off the car for full coverage.


Benjamin installing piece behind seats in 1 piece, no seams.



Front end done.


Our graphic designed made these decals to cover the factory shields to make a truly monochromatic look.


Front stripe going on.


Rear end all done, and stripe installed.


All Finished.





This was definitely one of the most rewarding projects we have done in a long time. The customer was extremely pleased, and we couldn't be happier with the results.


Thanks for looking.

WOW!!! Tell Benjamin he did an amazing job. It's safe to say...you guys outdid yourself this time. Keep up the good work.

 

looks very nice!! I'm not familiar with this type of products, so I'd like to ask a few questions,

1. I've been told that no prep work is necessary prior to applying the wrap,is that true?

2. What are the product manufacturer recommendations on how to care for this type of wrap? ( Matte Black) I assume normal car shampoo and some spray detailer or spray wax?

 

Thanks a lot Moe. Coming from you, this means a lot. I'm sure you've seen your fair share of wraps in So. Cal.

Thanks Tito. No prep work is absolutely wrong. You don't need to correct the paint before it is installed, but the paint must be thoroughly cleaned and clay barred. 3M doesn't offer any sort of protective product for the film, BUT we sprayed Nanoskin Glass Molecule on the car. This product is sprayed from a paint gun, and the fine atomization allows us to coat the film, and walk away, which is exactly what the film needs. We don't want to polish in any way the film by rubbing on it. The film can be washed with normal car shampoo, but you must be careful to dry car quickly to not get water spots on the film. If you live in an area with hard water, I would recommend picking up a cr spotless from Moe to prevent any water spotting also. I wouldn't recommend a spray wax on the film, as they are all different, and some may leave a white residue.

Thanks Matt!

 

your work looks fantastic. nice job! the fake carbon fiber stripe and other bits look a bit gauche but you're just doing what the owner wanted so that's no fault of yours.

 

Beautiful job John. Always great results when folks take their car to you!

 

Wow, what a great job. Love the creativity with the CF pieces.

 

Great job guys!!!!! Some of the best work I have seen!

 

Looks great! Did you just wrap the side markers with carbon as well?

I would love to have the nasty red rear markers on back of my Aston covered up as well as the front yellow side markers.
