  1. THAT was totally not even planned. I just thought the contrast would look good with the blue, and the tech agreed with me and said he really thought it would be good too. But then today when I saw it I told him holy crap it almost perfectly matches the silver above the front bumper and he said yeah it almost looks like it was intentional.

    Did you say how much it hurt (your wallet)?

    Wow that blue looks awesome and better than factory paint. My dealer scratched the hood a bit during transport and isn't responsive. A detailer recommended a clear bra over the hood and after these pics it seems to be the best option as it will fill the scratches.

    But now I want to make my red Kona blue.
     
  5. No, I don't like thinking about it ;). It was about $4000 and another $250 in taxes.

    Well I was told it will cure and any bubbles will gradually go down.

    Very nice color combo. Your car will certainly be unique.

    Why would there be an orange peel on a perfectly flat film? Is this due to the adhesives on the back of the film?

  10. That's what I was told too, that the vinyl will bond to the adhesive over the next week or so, and smooth out.
     
  11. Thanks! I think it would have looked great all blue too, but I really kind of like the contrast with the silver. As for the orange peel, they said the paint job already had it, I never noticed and probably wouldn't have noticed it here except now I was looking for it. I'm not too worried about it.

    I will say my initial impression (it's only been 24 hours) is that this was worth it; however, considering the price I think if I had it to do over again I might instead just get the car painted this same color blue. Since the bumper is painted I can look at the two and the paint looks a little better, it has more depth and metallic sparkle than the vinyl.

    I envision a future in which the dealership service bays are being used for customization rather than repairs.
    Wrapping used to be only for commercial advertising but now anyone can have a totally custom mural like the 70's shaggin wagons. God help us, when mothers have pictures of their babies implanted in their baby on board color schemes. Now cats, I could get on board with. Hey CJC, how bout puppy pics?

    I still tinted [ceramic] with 20% for the cargo door,passenger windows.It's really dark,good heat rejection. Driver , front passenger's 50% I think.
