  • First Wrap in Intercoat

    Posted by Graeme Clark on June 11, 2009 at 9:11 pm

    Hi guys,

    First wrap since training for us and bit of a marmite colour (Intercoats VWF 9652 grass green)

    We did the vehicle in 2 stages, one was the 2 tone phase without the roof and bumpers done and then a week later completed the entire vehicle.

    Hope you like the result!!

    Marmite job as you say Graeme, guess which side of the fence I’m on :lol1: :lol1:

    Still looks like you have made a good job of fitting it.

    you have done a nice job by the looks of the pictures mate, well done!

    would be interested to hear how things are holding up in a few weeks, as i am assuming this is the calendered wrap vinyl?

    This one is one of mine John so I have the dubious hour of driving it around, however it is getting us attention for the business!!

    Thanks Martin, It went down pretty good, we took the step of stripping the door handles off which on this car means removing the door card and taping the glass in place as the spanish chaps have decided to incorporate the window regulator and the door card into one part!!

    Thanks Rob, yes it is the calendered intercoat 60 micron polymeric so its pretty sort stuff. Its been on about 2 weeks now and left outside to bake in last weeks sun and I haven’t noticed any areas that concern me when I washed the car last night. We were aware of the drawbacks of the material but the colour was too good to pass up! plus we had worked with it in training so got a feel for it there. Thanks for your thanks!

    I actually liked the first pictures in Green and white…trouble with the full wrap is that Joe public think it’s the colour it came in 😉

    True, but its such a violent colour that there is still the chance they will notice it! I would love to see someone arguing with their SEAT dealer "but I know they come in green I have seen one!" we chose a non standard colour for just that reason 😀

    i also liked it with the two colours… :lol1: was a bit different…
    i prefer the white though, had a black car and just replaced it with a white one about 6 weeks ago or so. 😀

    you should put a few little stickers on it, "your looking at a white car" that will raise the question if nothing else!

    funny enough i was asked yesterday to wrap a BMW X5 in white…

    Yeah! I like the white and green it makes you look at it.
    Mind you Sunglasses would be an optional extra! 😎 (<(
