Why?

Matte black makes almost every car look cheap including this one.

 

I like it.

 

You're fantasizing. No way would wind have any effect on it. Especially on a car like this.

I have seen a wrap come part way off a race boat, tho- flapping like a flag. Not one of mine - I always seal the forward edges!

 

I don't really understand this flat black wrap thing...

 

flat black looks sweet. maybe someday it will be an option

 

Agreed...


DJ- we need to get on him, Pheonix is the man

 

In my fantasy , I'm imagining a real bad wrap install on a car driven often @ high speeds, whether road racing, high speed contest, etc. Remember, heavy emphasis on $hi!!y install. Eventually, you will see peeling on that thing.

I'm definitely not assuming that this bad type of install was done here.

 

I drove my wrapped car on the Gumball (along with lots of others) and didn't have one lifting corner or edge.

If it's a sh**ty install, then of course it will lift at speed.

 

Thank you, sir. That was the original point I was trying to make. My previous attempt @ mild humor failed. lol

 

Guys, this is really a non-issue. (call it a fantasy if ya want)

I suppose it could happen... but it is hard to imagine how...

If you have ever done a wrap then you would know that 'shitty install' would involve results such as creases, unnecessary seams, uneven trimming of edges/seams or crooked graphics. At least in my world.

it has to do with the way edges on a vehicle are done-
1- wrapped around and under the edge of the body piece- hood, door etc
2- squeegee and heat applied- once the adhesive touches the paint, air alone is not enough to lift it. (my reference upthread to the boat was meant to show that it takes something like water pressure to lift the material)

a note of reference:
Years ago a friend of mine did a test for vinyl adhesion for the Navy and applied some vinyl to the tips of propellers on an airplane that was flown at speeds over 200mph. No problems.
