Has anyone done this on a fiat coupe?

Was wondering, how do they finish the wrap in door seams etc. In other words, you don't open your car door and go OMG there is the original colour staring at me surely?

Was wondering what a gloss black LE would look like in matt black.........thoughts? laugh


Boooooooooost!!!

Gimmo has wrapped his in Italian Army Green. I've seen others wraps on Coupe's (eg: white) where you get exactly that crazy

In mine when you open the door, you can se the real color laugh
And there is also the problem on the roof, because wrap is interrupted between pillars and roof.
Coupe' is one of the unique car (the other one is the Invicta) with no junction between and roof, so you will have problem to find a wrap vinil so big!

Check out yannimize on YouTube Clint. Perfect for what you want to know about wrapping. I think a Mat le will look great

I carbonised my Center console - the center tunnel, also recently done the B Pillars too.

All Done with Water transfer processing, not vynil wrap, as the wrap would just NOT work on the B pillars and the center console.

Water transfer printing is not cheap (especially here) however - once done it looks the NUTS;

interior more or less done, - but Wish I had done the B pillars at the same time of rebuilding the complete interior panels, as its going be a real hastle to get to the two bolts holding the B Pillar in place.

the water transfer printing is really only for parts etc that can be "dipped" into the water tank. for seals etc would be not possible.

Have you considered contracting someone to Airbrush the inside of the seals - with a carbon look ??

Good luck with your quest chapper.
