Chrome Blue Wrap

That's one sweet looking blue. Way better than the Bieber chrome. It's going to be awesome! Can't wait for the pics.

OP. You have the power to iggy. It will definitely grab attention probably more than what you intend unless that is what you really want. For me that kind of color are for car shows rather than as a DD.

Your right about that. The problem is down here in south florida, everyone has a Z and they all look the same. Mines will be a bit different.

It's your car man. Do what makes you happy. I'm not a fan of that but it's your choice. Have fun with it, post up pictures when it's done.

Make sure you warn members so they can put their shades on before you post pictures.

Good luck with the install

OP if you are not happy with the wrap you can always do a matte/satin chrome

Love that color but it was nearly double the price. But im sure down the road ill be changing colors.

N1SMOZ · 05-20-2016, 03:46 PM

Matte wraps should ALWAYS be the way to go if you do a wrap. Just my two cents though. That matte looks so much more sleek and slick.

ZeroZeta · 05-20-2016, 04:56 PM

On the bright side - there is no shortage of GTR owners with wrapped cars for you to see how the colors look. ha ha.

Some progress pics. The chrome material is alot harder then I expected. Instead of doing the panels with one piece, I had to split them up so it could be applied. Now my dilemma is, I was doing the roof in 3 pieces and havnt done the middle yet, so it currently looks like a purposely done stripe. Im thinking about doing a white stripe across the length of the car from the front bumper all the way to the back bumper. Id also leave the mirrors white, maybe the entire spoiler white, and the sides of the front lip I bought white. Or should I just go full blue? Any opinions?

Thanks

Does not look so bad. No stripes please.

Chrome is hard to work with apparently. Just watched an episode of Junkyard Empire, and they wrapped an R-8 in exact same material and could not bend it around the hood, had to do portions in CF.

nismo-911 · 06-12-2016, 09:17 PM

What if I split the car into two colors? Leave the right side blue and left white? Unique

Zbrah · 06-12-2016, 11:12 PM

Unique? No. It just looks like you couldn't afford to wrap the other half of the car

jshare1 · 06-13-2016, 12:03 AM

is the roll not wide enough, why did you split the roof
