Thinking about wrapping the front "disposable" spoiler instead of painting it. I'm looking for a supplier of something like the Carrera white in a roll say 6 inches wide.
That way I can have one spare wrapped and ready keep swapping them out. Got to be easier than sanding, prepping, painting, re-sanding, prepping ,re-painting, re-sanding, prepping, re-painting.....
Whites are hard enough to match when they mix it at the paint store, I'd bet no one has an exact match to Carrara. Maybe a GM white, but I'd think it'd be super hard to match where it didn't look off.
I've not had any luck finding a powder coat color close to it either.
Seems smooth enough to me. not sure what you mean.
Funny you just posted this. Yesterday as I was looking my car over preparing for a 1/2 mile no-fly zone event, I noticed the clear coat from my front spoiler seemed to be failing. I will likely go ahead and buy some better materials an repaint....But in the interim, I had some Carbon Fiber wrap left from my hood I just did on my BMW....So, I figured why not try it (since I will repaint later anyway).
I am no expert, and I did use extra pieces (Not one big sheet), so sectioned in the slot areas....I was surprised how good it came out.
Picture below. It was a bit challenging with that tech art spoiler due to extra curves, but I think I can easily wrap a stock one with no issues at all.
Not saying it is awesome or anything...But I actually like it, and someone who knows what they are doing could do great I imagine. Definitely need heat.
Posted a picture of the hood on my "work" car I just did also...That is where the scraps came from

Looks great. Wish i lived closer so i could have you do mine for a fee. That little bit on the spoiler really sets the lower front off visually imo

Thank you very much. I guess if it grows on me, I may replace and take my time a bit more after the race Matches the hood very well, and does add a little contrast. I think I just enjoy playing with the cars and upgrading...It is a sickness...

Just what I was told by a local wrap guy I talked to. Maybe he doesn't know what he's talking about. Haven't pursued it further since I decided to having them painted anyway.
