I didn't realize anyone had tried this, but I actually considered doing the hood of my wife's old car with RhinoLiner; stone chips would be a thing of the past.

 

thats f*cking sick!! well done you!

 

sick

 

wow, thats awesome. If i ever need to repaint my car, that is definitely going to be the color. How much was it?

 

the picture in your signature makes it look like you had your car wrapped in flat black vinyl, not painted.

 

Minus the stickers, that paint job is badass.
But you need these rims:

If/when I get another Wrangler, you'd better believe I'll pulling the drainplugs and carpet out and spraying the interior. I had my carpet replaced 3x under warranty due to faulty windshield header seals (at the base of the folding windshield). Mildew smell no more!

 

I love the finish, does it absorb radar by any chance?!

 

How is it when dirty?

 

Correct. I'll post details and new/better pix soon.

 

LOVE IT! VERY serious looking!

 

Looking forward to that!

 

any more pix?

 

just wondering with flat black paints, how do you polish/wax it? or you don't?

 

No wax or polish. If you did then it would look wrong.

 

Love it!!!

Great work!

 

Thats because I haven't painted mine.

edit: i forgot to mention i think flat black is ugly!

 

Hmmm... It says Garage419 on that car... do you know Alex???

The car looks sick... how does it respond to radar?

Yes I know Alex very well. I was asking all those questions in the ECU thread because we're driving down to FL in January and I need to be able to keep up.

So it's a matte black wrap of vinyl. You can see seams and that kind of thing up close but it doesn't bother me. If you're the **** type this isn't for you. It looks like crap when dirty but again doesn't bother me because it always looks evil. Cost was $1500 to wrap it. Garage419 is my internet show I do. www.garage419.com You can do car washes but just have to be touch less. Of course no waxing. 7 year warranty. And when I go to get rid of the car the paint will be perfect. But yeah the car looks incredible now. I had ordered black sight unseen. When Astro wannabe black came I was pissed. Now the car looks proper.

Now I just need tints, rims, black out them sidemarkers, and those red LED's.

 

well done!
once the rest of the exterior is sorted its going to be evil for sure!!
impressed by how great the wrap looks!!

 

Wow, $1500 worth of vinyl sure looks sexy, but holy crap that's a lot of money!!!

 

i think its quite reasonable actually.
think about the cost of doing a clear bra on the car. $700 +/-
and thats only doing maybe 1/5th of the car.

doing the entire car requires a lot of labor, and much more material.

actually, i'm curious what mil thinckness the black vinyl was.

 

I'll try and find out. They used a 30inch roll. They could have gotten their hands on a larger roll, providing fewer seams, but it would have been more than double the price.

But yeah when you look at what people get charged for clearbra it's actually quite a deal. And as you can see they did everything. The mirrors are starting to peel. When I picked it up the guy said it was damn near impossible to get them done. He did a good job but it lasted 48 hours. Looks like I need some CF caps.

...and garage419 paid for it...not me.

 

wow... i can see the seams now but it still looks hot!! not a bad way to have a paint color for several years...

 

Good luck with that!
