Glossy Yellow Wrap Completed

[Cyclone]

My fiance's car is at the Raleigh, NC service center until Monday sometime. So, if you end up stopping in you can probably check it out.

A few customers there had already asked the service rep where it got done.

Next time bring it to Charlotte and I'll go take a peak! That said, hopefully it doesn't need to go back into a service center anytime soon!

It's in for annual service and pack contactor updating. They can't do the high voltage stuff in Charlotte yet or that's where it would be.

What did you end up doing about the door handles and how did the wrap hold up over the winter?

Handles are back to chrome.

Wrap held up pretty well. It's going back soon for a quick tuneup of two little spots that keep acting up (bubbles) near the side markers, but that's it.

(full disclosure: I like chrome)
As much as I liked the Big Banana before, I think it really looks absolutely terrific now. Really, really, really nice.

Sure looks awesome

What is your expected life for the wrap, and does it have the easy-cleaning features of OptiCoating and similar products? Given the limited range of color choices from the factory, a basic white with a $2k wrap is intriguing vs. Pearl White with after-purchase paint correction and OptiCoating. Was the wrap work done in NC? Thanks.

My new '68 Austin came with Florida (puke) Green, so after a couple years of self loathing I had it sprayed bright yellow. Fantastic transformation. So nice to see it done again!

I believe @wk057 got the wrap done in NJ. If it was done in NC, I would be taking my car (once delivered) to the same place as I'm quite impressed!

Yeah, was done in NJ. However, I'm looking for someone in NC who can do some touch ups on it.

Are the colored wraps completely opaque? Wondering if you can do the same thing over black paint.

Cool! Has anyone in Northern California done a colored wrap? Looking for a reputable place to get it done in the future.

Steve, Vincent at OmegaWerks in Pleasanton does PPF, wraps and tinting. He has done PPF on both of my Tesla's and is considered one of the best in the area. He is typically backed up about a month in advance but worth the wait. One thing to note....wraps are vinyl and while they change the color to anything you want, they are not PPF and are considerably thinner and damage far more easily than PPF film. They can look really cool, such as the yellow of the OP which IMHO is one of the best I have seen.

Wow, that looks great!

I vote chrome or black for the door handles, to either match the window trim or the wheels. A little contrast there in the door panel would be good. Plus, the handles are such a visual style piece why hide them?

I totally agree - I second the motion to put the chrome back on the handles.

This hack was long overdue for my wife's car.

I would have thought you did that one long ago! So she let you open up her dash?

Yeah, finally.
