Default My Sunray DX wrapped 1965 coupe in a studio
As many of you guys have seen the pictures of my friends maroon 65 coupe we shot earlier in the studio, I had my cars (56 and 65) photographed in the same way. The "studio" is build in one corner of a big underground parking garage. We put up big pieces of black carpet on the walls and then we poured water on the concrete floor so it was soaking wet and gives a nice reflection you see on the pictures. The guy who took the pictures, is also a vettehead (LSX C3) and he used his magic to make it happen.

What do you guys think?









I should get the 56 shots soon, I'll post those too when I do.

Looks awesome man! So that is a wrap? If it looks as good in these pics as it could in person I'm sold! What does a wrap like that run?

AFAIK the wrap is at most 1/3 the cost of decent paint. I love the car except for the @#$%^&* big rims and tires.

That car would look fabulous in front of a garbage dump. I'm envious.

It holds up really well, it's also UV resistant.

Thanks guys for all the 's.

Here's couple of shots showing my 56:













I think they turned out pretty good. I'm thinking about having wall paper made with one or two of these photos to cover my garage walls...
