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.

It's just a vinyl wrap, it's not as hard as you would think.

someone already asked, but no response.... Where can we score this stuff?

Also, how much does it cost?

I've seen the printed vinal wraps before - they are expensive - but most of the cost is probably the design and printing. Vanilla white or another solid color shouldn't be bad.



WHERE? HOW MUCH?
