Since I've drooled over 27thelement's ride ever since I seen his two-tone paint job I decided to make it my very own. Not like were in the same neighborhood or anything :P Although... mine didnt cost me $1500+ It only cost me.... $42.00 Why only $42.00 ? Because its not a paint job, its vinyl. I do vinyl graphics and will soon be getting into vehicle wraps so I decided to practice on my own car for my first job. My car started out as all laser blue, the vinyl is the black and grey pin stripe. It took me 6 hours to do the drivers side and then the next day I finished the passengers side and roof trunk in about the same time. So a total of 12 hours of sweat'n in the hot sun, a roll of paper towels, a few olfa razor blades, and 2 rolls of vinyl.

Then after the wrap job was done I spent about 8 hours the next day painting my headlights & front grill. I still have a few more things I want to do but this is what I've got done so far.

OH... and before I did all that, I removed my SC spoiler and bondo'ed up the holes on top and I figured since I was bondoing away, I decided to shave the trunk lock as well, the antenna is next.

What do you think?









I took alot more pictures but only posted these, didn't want to overkill it :P

 

totally cant even tell its viynl....nice

 

That's vinyl? Dude.... that looks awesome. good job... in fact.... great job

 

looks good man, wanna sell me the spoiler lol

 

where do you order your vinyl? I want to do that but I dont trust ymself so I want to do stripes lol

 

That look like a banging ass paint job lol.. TIGHT WORK!!!!! HMMMMM Some black racing stripes would look good on silver

 

wow looks great.. lets get some close ups

 

Wow good job!!!!! Looks fantastic!

 

thats sick. it looks like paint. you're a master of your craft, friend

Wingless ss s/c FTW!

 

wow that looks great, I can't believe it's vinyl

 

It's raining right now so a close up wont do any justice. I'm extremly pleased with the results. I didn't mess up one piece nor did I create any creases or trap any dirt (much better than I can say about my tinting LOL ). I used Oracal 651 gloss black 24". Everything is in one piece except the roof is in 2 pieces spliced right up the middle, you can't even tell unless your right up on it rubbing your finger across it. Honestly though, I'm not sure how long this will last here in Michigan weather but I'll find out soon enough.

 

Should do a little piece for the mirror covers as well.

 

ok now take a trip to NY and do mine dude lol i seriousely want that

 

That is awesome!!!

 

The only seam you see is in the pin stripe from the black which is only noticable from about 2-3 feet away. Any farther than that its flawless. It seriously looks like a paint job. I've already been told "nice paint job" etc and they flip when I tell them, "Thanks, only cost me $42.00" LOL Yhen I tell them its vinyl and they get right up to it and want to start picking. LOL

 

very nice!!!

 

Yeah, the mirrors are next, i'm just burnt out atm and plus today is my B-Day so I'm taking a break

I have a carbon fiber vinyl too, I'll prolly do the mirrors in carbon fiber.

 

congrats! your work is top notch

 

ty ty

 

VERY NICE!

I love the wingless SS/SC look. Drop that bitch and its gonna look mean.

 

Hope I see you driving around so I can take a look. I have a black SS and would like the opposite paint job that you have. Maybe after stage 2 and exhaust.

 

I'll be hitting the BW3's at 12 & mound tonight to celebrate my b-day with some friends. Your more than welcome to stop up.

 

Why not just have him do it for you?

 

That's one sticker that looks nice. Good job!

 

Looks good, im sure you can tell its vinyl upclose
