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. Thanks for the tip Frank.

This means the lambo girls' strategy from cannonball is feasible!

^^^they used water based paint, and some guy told them about it they only knew about dish washing soap.lol

I think you could only get away with this in white. Any other color wouldn't have the depth of the equivilent paint job, and would look trashy.

Now all the ricers can apply this first then add stickers everywhere.

Plus this can hold up their body kit better

Vinyl wrap ftw. A few of the cars I posted in the flat black thread are wrapped.

LOLOLOL Sure isn't going to make up for the massive gaps and generally shitty appearance of the car

I could definitely find a use for it on the front bumper from all the rocks and shit on the road and rear bumper for the morons tapping and rubbing. I know rubbing is racing Harry

But not when u r parking FFS
