03 Z-oh-6

Picked up an '03 z06 with 6K miles. I installed the blackwing filter and B&B bullets. Runs like a bat outta hell!

I'm going to wrap it in satin white pearl with the top gloss black.

It will look something like this. Click on the link below for more pictures.

Any chance you can share the cost and how much weight the wrap adds?

Not sure how much weight it will add, but the wrap is going to cost around $2500.

that's a set of Trick Flow heads.

Didn't realize the process costs 2500

This shop does very good work. They will remove the fascias or whatever is needed. It's very labor intensive.

How long does the wrap last? Any kind of warranty?

Satin White Pearl 3m wrap supercharged Z06 with L5 rears...I did it about three months ago... That pic you have OP is balloon white pearl paint...definitely a different shade. I'm not a fan of doing the halo on these cars, but...to each his own. You might notice...since my car is black, I cut the side vents a little different...it creates the effect of them being larger. Also, the brake ducts in the front, I cut at the opening, versus wrapping back inside...looks cleaner I think. Little tricks you can do with it...all fun stuff.

I didn't use any adhesion promoter because I don't like the removal of it. I have had some light failure underneath where I had road rash. I've been caught in the rain a few times which got to the underside. Overall, the stuff holds up fantastic. I wrapped my friends car two years ago and it still looks great. 3m guarantees the wrap in direct sunlight for 4-5yrs and removal with no residue. No wrap installer is going to warranty the entire process...failures do occur. Generally they will help you with little fixes, but if you expect a whole panel to be rewrapped if an edge comes up...I don't know a guy that'll do the whole panel again. I can vouch for labor intensive...that's an understatement. My vette wasn't bad at all...but the BMW I just finished...whew...tons of trim, stuff that needed removed...took forever.

I started wrapping just to supplement what I do as a builder. I ended up doing quite a few lately though... I just finished my girls bimmer. H&R suspension, plastidipped wheels, kidney grills and trim, CSL front bumper, matte metallic blue 3m. Pics below...

I love the door handles, nice subtle touch. I like the idea of wrapping and interested in how it would hold up over time in weather.

You think like I do. Poor bastard.


Sure is pretty, though. I really dislike non-gloss paint, until I saw this pearlish white.

2500 is cheap....

Most places charge 4500.00 for wrap...minimum. I'd question if the shop has liability insurance first...that's all I'm saying. 2500.00 is way below market value for that job. They either have mexican labor or don't pay full overhead....or pump out a sh*t ton of wraps and have a couple of work horses.

On a side note though, mine cost less than 400.00 to wrap...

RC000E , I agree, I like the complete wrap on your Z, leaving the roof exposed looks straight up import.

That E46 looks good, there was a C6Z down in FL like that

Damn, your Z looks good! Why do some panels look like a different shade? It's not paint, the material should be the exact same.

envyz06

I think that is just the lighting on the matte finish, freaking super sexy car though!

That vinyl looks great, pricing is a little higher than I thought it would be... but still looks great!

I'm definitely going with the satin white pearl and gloss black roof. Dropping the car off Saturday. They told me 3-5 days.

GenerationX1

Looks damn good but I was thinking all this time that a wrap would be cheaper than a paint job. Ha!

EPMM 03 C5

Love it!!!!!!!!

racebum

i might be the odd guy out

but why would you wrap a car with mint paint?

03 Z-oh-6

I want something different. Plus, it protects the paint. 100% reversible. It should look very nice!!

I don't think I like it on a Z because there is not a clean cut-off point with the hardtop, as the C5Z/FRC roofline flows nicely into the body.

On a coupe, however, I think it looks quite good to black out the halo; with the tinted glass and whatnot, you end up with a very clean cutoff reminiscent of the ZR1.
