teaston · 02-18-2015, 03:04 PM

This is the first one a saw, it was at Coopers. I thought wow i want that paint, but then i found out what a nightmare it is to look after!

just 3 years ago teaston .....do they let you out of the county buddy ?

Agree on the upkeep, no polish is a bit of a problem as its my best friend for minor mark removal.

Lol was only kidding, not sure actually, I just meant the first matt finished car, not specifically a frozen BM.

What did you find out exactly and was that for a painted or wrapped finish?

You can't polish them and need to be careful (more so) of bird mess etc. There's probably more constraints I'm sure, careful washing it for one.

That is partly why wrapping is better for a matt paint finish.

The matt red M5 performance edition is a wrap from the factory.

And you can't polish it!

Regarding the M5:

I'll say it as it is: that combination looks seriously challenging to put it mildly and not in a good way. It's been wrapped with a warped colour match.

ETTO and all that jazz.

Mattyk · 02-19-2015, 04:41 PM

Not a jewel like combination then...?

BMWSKI · 02-19-2015, 05:03 PM

When will we see the finished car???

matx1982 · 02-20-2015, 12:51 AM

I am due to collect tomorrow... so shall get some photos over the weekend if the weather is good

I look forward to those

JustChris · 02-20-2015, 02:44 AM

Excellent Matt, good luck with the weather!

TheLiverBird · 02-20-2015, 03:23 AM

Looking good, and looking forward to the finished photos. When you're bored of it does it need a pro to remove (and is that included in the price?) or can you do it yourself?

Does anyone else of my vintage (1964) brought up on Blue Peter automatically have the words Sticky Back Plastic pop into their mind reading this thread?
