Actually this picture shows that the door is covered and the rear quarter panel is still raw paint. This photo was meant to depict the minimal difference between the two panels with one being covered and the other not in high resolution. There is, afterall, orange peel texture in paint. Our mistake for not initially pointing that out.

For as extensive of coverage as was performed on this GT3, we would actually need to see the vehicle in person to assess the paint condition to see how much prep work (claying & polishing) is needed to ensure the shine comes through the film. We have basic front end packages starting at the $800 range and can go well into the thousands depending on exact covearge & the paint condition. For those local to us and would like to come in to see the work in person or to schedule for a consultation, please call us directly.

Thank you.

Thank you Tcc1999.

Are you sure the rear quarter is not vinyl covered?

You know your work and product best, but this sure looks like a vinyl seam on the rear quarter, plus it shows a different reflective value on the small amount of bare paint that appears not covered at the top, just above the arrow.

Thank you for answering the questions on pricing!

I'm a believer in protective covering in areas where it's truly needed for track protection, but no matter how well it's applied it still "visually" takes away from a raw painted surface. There's a trade off for protection, to depict it otherwise is a little misconstruing in my opinion.

We all have different priorities, and Premier serves a high end clientel who's wishes are met with quality and service.

1Gunner - that rear quarter panel is not yet covered in the picture you pointed out. The line you see is likely a masking line coming from the factory white transfer protective taping. These white tapes are all over the car during transport at sea and when removed would leave some adhesive lining.

As for reflective qualities, this picture and some of high resolution shots are taken very close; hence, you will naturally see more texture than you would since everything is enhanced at the micro level.

Here is a RS4 our team just completed this morning having the entire front quarter of the car protected - stopping at the doors. I specifically asked to have pictures taken to show the minimal difference is texture where there is film on the front quarter panels and bare paint on the doors

Premier

And here are photographs of the finished product on the RS4. Again, these shots were taken to show the minimal (if at all a difference) variance in reflectivity between the fenders (covered) and the doors (not covered). To note once more, the closer a camera is put to the surface of paint or film, more texture will show.

For the full car coverage on the '10 GT3, it is not quite often for our customers to choose this option. We are showcasing this project to show the possibilities when the application is done right and the experience is there to support it. Most of our clients are covering similar to what is performed on the RS4 above.

If anyone have further questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

I beg to disagree, if you plan on regularly tracking your car this set up will protect your car from getting sandblasted by the vehicle in front of you. My previous 911's front ends looked awful after one season of tracking them. My 996 had the entire front bumper sandblasted. Furthermore, the car has not one paint chip. Not so dumb if you use your car to its fullest.

russo

This is all true until one day after a track event you look down at your front bumper and notice that the entire surface area presents with sandblast damage. This is not a pretty sight and you will soon take measures to prevent further damage by attaching a bra, only to realize that the bra adds another set of problems. If you are using your car for regular driving with no track days I can see not wrapping it.

Yes, but then... why not protect only the front?

I wouldn't be surprised if that GT3 never sees a track. The last 2010 GT3 I saw at my dealer waiting for delivery was that customers third, none ever saw a track.

Ok, guess I was confused, for that picture came from a post on 6speed, specifically post #21, where you were showcasing the finished product.

But it becomes even more puzzling why your talented installers would be this far into a job without having properly prepped the car in the first place......

The application skill and craftmanship is topnotch, but to claim/pitch in your own words, "minimal (if at all a difference) variance in reflectivity between the fenders (covered) and the doors (not covered)" certainly takes a leap in faith, after seeing the milky product that's being applied onto naked clear-coat paint....

At the end of the day, as long as the paying customer is happy, that's what counts!!

Pretty sure the RIZ was referring to the 100% wrap as being dumbest thing he'd ever seen.... and I'm pretty sure he's not alone.

Amazing work!

We prep panel to panel right before the aplication begins on the specific part. A total wrap can take days so to pre-prep a panel, we will end up doing more work because dust or debris would likely have landed on the surface.

If you take a look at the photos on the Audi RS4 above, the product is installed onto the car....it shows no signs of a "milky" product. The film may look hazy in the photos showing when the product first lays onto the surface, but it is still dry. Our application solution activates the adhesive for installation, which is why you will not see the "milky" product in the final installed pictures. This is more information than most would care to know about, but we felt compelled to provide more details so there are no misinformation. Afterall, what's most important is the finished product.

Well said Russo. The assumption for some people is that to "enjoy the car to the fullest", one must have a chipped-up, road rashed car to show that it has been driven so. If that were the case, why wash and detail the car as well. It's meant to be driven right? I for one don't mind having a clean, chip free car while driving it to it's potential. To each their own I guess.

Again, great work by Premier!

I still think Premier does amazing work.

Off topic but does anyone know what color this RS4 is painted? It's stunning.
