ArcTec34 Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Hey all, So..for my next project, I'm turning my Atlantic Blue Pearl LGT sedan black. I've gotten pretty good at using vinyl for other projects, and I usually do some type of big project to keep myself busy over the summer when I'm not at college. Somehow.. I'll manage to do this and my job.. anyway! I'm using 3m 180c vinyl in matte black. Its easy to use and some of the best stuff. If anyone wants any advice on any vinyl related tasks feel free to ask. I like doing things myself..it keeps me doing something and I like the result! I kinda also wanted a black car.. anyway.Here is a thread detailing my LED tail lights that I built last summer: http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/led-tail-lights-work-progress-107622p12.html I also have a thread about my exhaust which I made..search for it! my blue car: http://berzindesign.com/LGT/3s.jpg http://berzindesign.com/Thirdbrake/1DSC_0062.jpg http://berzindesign.com/LGT/DSC_0031a.jpg I'll update as I progress...which should be soon. Yeah I know there are going to be haters. If you are really that against what I'm doing than don't bother flaming me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArcTec34 Posted June 15, 2010 Author Share Posted June 15, 2010 I bought 2 rolls, each 48 inches x 15 yds, about $270 for both I was about to go with Avery A9 EZ vinyl, still cast vinyl, not quite as easy to work with, cheaper as well, but I got such a good deal on the 3m stuff I couldn't pass it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ironchefireland Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Wow...$270 to completely change the look of the car! This should be interesting. That Audi looks menacing, and I've seen the pics of the Fozzy in matte black w/ green wheels as well (a little too cartoonish for my liking). My question is durability in our climate here in PA.

Gmoe Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Cool, I personally think it will look kick ass. Can't wait to see how it comes out. What about the door frames, etc.? You able to get that stuff in all the colored nooks and crannie that will stick out like a sore thumb when the rest of the car is flat black?

PeterJMC Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 I want to do this to my SWP! How will you manage the edges of the vinyl that meet? How do you deal with over lap so that it doesn't show and appears as a single piece? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
