fahim Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 hi i was woundring is it legal to foil a car instead of painting it ? it would cost lots of money to foil but its better than painting the car cuz i like the original color of the car to stay as it is so if it legal were can i foil my car ? other countries its legal to foil the cars and lots of the luxry cars out there are foiled Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/265215-is-it-legal-to-foil-a-car/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

fahim Posted April 13, 2009 Author Share Posted April 13, 2009 Foilacar is a German company that opened a branch in Dubai. They specialize in things like windows tinting, car protection, color changing foil, and car design foil. www.foilacar.com it's actually pretty cool to be able to change your car color and protect the original color with their foil! here are some pictures of how they do it. The car gets in the shop like this.. The foil is applied to it.. again like this.. More and more foil is applied! the thing is trying to make sense all of a sudden The final and cool product!

d1_drifter Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 So is it like some kind of vinyl overlay or something? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/265215-is-it-legal-to-foil-a-car/#findComment-4530602 Share on other sites More sharing options...
d1_drifter Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 And with it being legal or not, I suppose you couldn't really tell if its foiled or just a respray I assume? I guess this is kind of similar to what the Autosalon S15 DA car was like. Instead of painting it mirror chrome and risking the cost of having it painted after every round, they had a fullbody vinyl stuck on the car.

SLY-25T Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 think this was in a movie. some chicks that rob a bank in a red 7 series beemer, drive around the corner, get changed and peel the red off so its silver or somethin along those lines. good idea though!

SLY-25T Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 out of the movie Taxi with queen latiffa. they chase a red bmw 7 series, sexy chicks hop out and strip down then pull the red off to uncover a dark blue paint.

PM-R33 Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Well that makes a lot of sense now. For the record, yes i was thinking the alfoil thing lol but figured you ment the vinyl stuff like the Autosalon S15 did as mentioned.
