No need to downplay an article just because some people have prior knowledge of it.

Is there some reason the rest of the world can't learn it as well, or are they simply relegated to the permanent ignorant bin?

Ease up, guys. If you already know about it, move on to the next topic. :thumbup:

I think this made headlines because of the reason he did it. Most people have seen cars wrapped with graphics for the purpose of advertising, but most people wouldn't spend the money just because they are "bored" with the color of their car... not to mention they got bored with a Black BMW ( some how that is possible). It's a quirky story and a great add for the vinyl wrap product.

No actually it is pretty common here in Germany. Just watched a news program (N24) where they did the same to a Blue VW Beetle. There is a local SMALL sign shop and they do at least one car a month there. Really it has been around for a while. Busses here are completely covered in it, to include the windows.

I was really hoping this would be an article about someone who covered his BMW in actual white tape.
Kind of like a couple years ago those guys covered that Audi with blue painters tape before an across country drive.

me too, but even worse is receipt. i dont think i have ever spelled it right. thank god for spell check:lol: :thumbup:

and yeah to echo others. this has been getting done a long time. its a good cheaper alternative to paint. if it chips or rips it is cheaper and easier to fix aswell.

a slight layer of bondo doesnt cost much. im thinking about this for my car. just for the hood. i want an aftermarket hood and dont want to spend like 600 just to paint it. unless i go carbon fiber then it doesnt matter

QFT,

Everybody keeps bringing it up that its been done before, but its been done before mainly for advertising. Not for someone who just wanted to change the color of their car.

I think its downright awesome, there is a guy on the MINI boards who covered his whole RED MINI with flat black Vinyl, looks great!

I wanna see an entire car done in reflective white! :lol:

I'd be game for that...it'd be a true test on how long it'd withstand my daily beatings on the highway. My front end and lower rocker panels are severely sandblasted :( All in the life of a road warrior.
