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

So you want to wrap your car up in foil to preserve it's paint?

I guess it's got its pros and cons but other than that just get a respray the same colour.

Just get the paint code of your car and you should be fine.

(OO)SKYLINE(OO)

thanks but i think the foil would be better cuz the color would be ther same

i mean some people when they have an accident and repair the door or the bonnet ect.. the color looks diffrent

cuz its new and the cars color is old

the same time when u want to change the color of ur car u would change it in a day

for those who mentioned the movie thing

u cant just take of the foil and drive it

cuz before i took the foil of and the car was sticky and i took it to a place were they can polish it ( takes a day or more )

i mean some people when they have an accident and repair the door or the bonnet ect.. the color looks diffrent

cuz its new and the cars color is old

only if you have your car painted by morons that use the factory colour as gospel....

To answer yes it is legal, only colour requirements in NSW are that the car cannot have a bare metal reflective surface I.E No chrome body or polish colour which could blind other drivers (total crap if you ask me)

In all honesty I doubt you'd get picked up unless you live in the western suburbs!

There's a red 180 that goes around a few shows here in Adelaide, Ministry of Bass normally has it on their stands. Complete outside is done in a red contact/film/foil, maybe get in contact with those guys and see what they can do. Fernando Wehrl's drifter is also foiled in chrome film.

these are not a chrome foil these which is on the drift pics these are used for the windows which some people call them mirrors

but ill order the foil from dubai which is thick and hard

there are kinds of foils and the one which im gonna get looks chrome but its not its silver

ill try getting a sample and ask the vic roads

but for how much would a shop do the whole car for me ???

Am i the only one that thinks those cars look dope?

with u all the way

ive sent them an email about it for postage ect ect cauase my car isnt all one colour and its very irrtating when all my mates notice it, its an easy change without the cost ( i hope) its a hell wikid idea germans make the most practical and usful ideas beleive me i know im a scaffolder and ive been using theyre layher gear the past month and all i can say is im never using qwikstage again, but im definantly getting ahold of them get all the little dings ect ect fixed on my car and then applying the film :blush:

Ok I am guessing this foil stuff is like a vinyle that covers the whole car. So maybe instead of ringing workshops you could try talking to somebody that does vinyle stickers and stuff for buisness cars and installs them.

Yeah!

Why don't you Vinyl Wrap your car..?

Looks nice with a Satin finish.

Foiling is a first time I have ever heard of and finally seeing some pics, thanks to ~Hypnotik~, it actually looks good.

But done correctly tho, other wise it looks kinda "Tarty"...

well i got an email back from them

4000 usd for shiney

6900 usd for matte finish

9000 usd for carbon flip flop custom ect

and then also got told that theyre applyers can fly anywhere to do it provided u pay the flights and accomidation that goes out the window thats dear as !@#$

Check out Universal shield in Brookvale, just had my skyline done with the stone chip protection and a few more extras like electronic rust protection and Glass plexin paint sealant, they also do foiling and heaps of other surface mods.

they do the best work I have seen and can highly recomend them regarding foiling and paint protection films.

they gave me an awesome price on the stone guard and gave me free leather and fabric protection.

Call Chris 0414-752-370 www.universalshield.com.au :)

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
