WHAT?!?!?

You gotta be kidding me right?

We used the same shit at my old work (different brand but looks 100% the same as the stuff im seeing in these pics) to do a bunch of cars, can get it in all different colours, black, silver, blue, red, yellow etc. We bought a few rolls of all different colours (a roll was like 30m) and ended up doing a few cars sub boxes, door inserts (including my own) and for 3 rolls of the stuff i dont remember us paying anywhere near that!

F**k paying that much for vinyl, my god.

Like you said, "different brand", so that's the difference in price.

With the 3M vinyl, it's NOT all about the looks and appearance of it, it's also about the technology they used in the vinyl to ensure that there's no air bubbles.

On the sticky side of the vinyl, theres a grid pattern that's been cut/scored, so if theres air bubbles, you can just push the air through the cut grid and out to the edges.

Unique Comply™ Technology 3M DI-NOC™ Film uses an adhesive system with grid-like channels on the adhesive surface, allowing air to escape during application. Air bubbles trapped between the material and the film can escape along these tracks, making applications to a large and complicated surface easier and ensuring a perfect finish.

nice man,

i haven't been one for the clear coat side of things, but i have a feeling that the exterior work would look nicer with a clear coat on it, i dont know why, but just a thought, either way nice job

If only you were in QLD :D

Id love to get the wing stands and pillars done.

Loving the stands on Ashneel's 34

If you don't mind the hassle, you can send them down to me and I'll wrap it and post it back to you for $60+postage back to you :(

But with pillars, I'm sure you can wrap it yourself, I could send you down 2 strips that's enough to wrap both pillars for $40 :banana:

Damn, you're doing all the bits I've been wanting / pining on doing since i saw them on Import Monster ..

I really need to talk to you about getting like a roll or enough to do all my interior bits, sedan b-pillars (twice as much as coupes), etc.

I've just about given up trying to get it through the distributors themselves...

i hate you so bad charles lol, im gonna have to suck it up and just buy some already haha, i have no doubt that everything you cover will be what i wantd to do as well

Hahahaha! Do you wanna give me your postal address? So I can send you a little sample to tease you even more? :blink:

And I'm being serious too lol, I've got a few little off cuts :down:

    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like
