Pages: 1 2  Next -- Posted by Holden Commodore at 11:29 am on Aug. 6, 2008 BMW owner tapes black car to white When a BMW 335i owner in Munich became bored with his black coupe, he hired a team to wrap it in white tape. Two days later, he drove home in his refreshed "Alpine White" coupe (with an M3-appearing black roof). No, it's not normal tape. It's a special 3M wrap, and the process is known as "foiling." Apparently, the German military has been using the process (with an olive drab tape) for some time now. Likewise, the process is popular with race teams and taxi companies. Available in countless colors, the tape itself is thick enough to protect the paint from minor chips and nicks, and it can be left adhered to the surface for 3-4 years without damage (!). Adhesion isn't a problem either, as the tape can even withstand an automatic car wash without peeling off. -- Posted by Latin Muscle at 11:30 am on Aug. 6, 2008 fucking nice -- Posted by flanders5t6 at 11:30 am on Aug. 6, 2008 wow he did it well! -- Posted by venomromance at 11:31 am on Aug. 6, 2008 Wow, that`s cool. -- Posted by NotTheGirlNextDoor at 11:31 am on Aug. 6, 2008 wow that is so NICE> -- Posted by madrascal32 at 11:31 am on Aug. 6, 2008 cool. -- Posted by HXC at 11:32 am on Aug. 6, 2008 i liked the car the most when it was like half way done. -- Posted by FiendForLife at 11:32 am on Aug. 6, 2008 Never seen anything like that before. -- Posted by coloring the void at 11:32 am on Aug. 6, 2008 I wonder how much of a price difference it is compared to getting your car painted normally. -- Posted by JessicaChace at 11:32 am on Aug. 6, 2008 that's awesome -- Posted by ang42490424 at 11:32 am on Aug. 6, 2008 Reminds me from that movie called Taxi -- Posted by Charolastra at 11:32 am on Aug. 6, 2008 why'd he leave the roof black though? that kills it. good job otherwwise -- Posted by ss454 at 11:32 am on Aug. 6, 2008 Looks like shit in any color -- Posted by yoshiness at 11:33 am on Aug. 6, 2008 Wow.
