Project: 700hp Matte Black SC300

[LindyM]

So I decided to go for a different look on my show car.
I am going to wrap it in matte black, including the wheels.
this thread will be a work log for the process.
I ordered Avery A9 EZ in black with matte laminate to see how that goes.
My other alternative will be to print my own black.
here is the car as is sits now.

The avery black is definitely the way to go

That is a beautiful car! Always loved the GT-C's!! What kit is that? Looks sort of like an Origin or similar? How about some motor specs?

A guy here in town has one of these.

It put 750ish to the rear wheels! Crazy crazy car!!

The car was featured in this years April issue of Modified.
I have a shoot coming up for Performance Auto and Sound magazine and wanted a different look.

Why the lam, don't they do the vinyl in matt black?

 

[LindyM]

I rather have 2 layers of vinyl to protect against chips and nicks than a 2 mil layer of just black.

 

[LindyM]

Well the vinyl came in today.
After laminating the black I was close to pulling back on this since the vinyl looks horrible. But after a couple of hours the silvering went away.
here are some pictures of about 1.5hrs of work.

Avery A9 EZ & Matte Lamex

Not sure about Crummy but they are overrated, which is why I don't have one. I have a 1JZ.

now...Tint your windows, and it will be complete.

Do you have a close up on the rear window pillar where you overlapped the roof seam to the side seam behind the door? Wonderig how conspicuous it is on the finished job.

I have 20% precut and ready to install. I wanted to wait till the magazine feature was done.

I will post them as soon as I finish.

Did you finish the front bumper?

I wasn't sure if I hope this was going to go so I only ordered 30"x30' which wasn't enough to do the front bumper and driver side. I did order more and it should be in tomorrow.
I will wrap the air ducts first with small vinyl pieces then the outer surface.

Your got it !
