MrBen Posted July 9, 2017 Report Share Posted July 9, 2017 If looking to ruin a Boxster you could buy this one - somebody has already ruined it anyway! http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201707087198861 Was quite distressing to see what it looked like a few months ago before some halfwit with a few cans of plastidip and light tint spray got at it - looked a nice car!

I quite like it and can't for the life of me see what the difference is between that paint and a wrap? Cat D too so fine for modification IMHO. I shudder to think what you feel when you watch/hear the news if you find a few reversible modifications on a car distressing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kooky 1976 Posted July 9, 2017 Report Share Posted July 9, 2017 Isn't the Boxster galvanised? Good luck removing Zinc coating. You'll soon get bored of that. Wrapping is perhaps the cheapest way of getting over this brainwave. Don't like this... quite like this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can say the same with a wrap, get it wrong and the paint will come off with the vinyl (haven't see it happen myself but I know Araf has ?) I was alluding to the suggestion the car had been ruined with the application of a reversible modification, we don't know if it is nuclear deterrent PlastiDip at this time, or is there something you would like to confess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plastidip on the other hand can bond to the paint and strip it easily, i know someone with a flawless show winning Scirocco that his dipped for the winter months and it stripped about 60% of the car when it came off.

Jason986S Posted July 11, 2017 Report Share Posted July 11, 2017 I've never see a wrap rip off paint and I've seen lots of removals and spoken to quite a few wrappers and customers over the years. I've never had a wrapped car, but happily would. Peeling my 12" gold roundels (circles) off my Boxster left no marks and the paint was as before (no damage) underneath.

Neither have I BUT you are fairly new here so you probably haven't seen the posts where the paint came with the wrap Perhaps ole Araf will enlighten you fellas as I have lost interest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also depends on how you take it off as well. Go at it like a ham-fisted moron and you'll leave more problems than you started with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I removed my pieces on a warm evening carefully but meaningly. The angle at which it's peeled off can contribute to any adhesive glue residues left behind too. Quality vinyl shouldn't leave anything/much behind really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
