BMW owner tapes black car to white
When a BMW 335i owner in Munich became bored with his black coupe, he hired a team to wrap it in white tape. Two days later, he drove home in his refreshed "Alpine White" coupe (with an M3-appearing black roof). No, it's not normal tape. It's a special 3M wrap, and the process is known as "foiling." Apparently, the German military has been using the process (with an olive drab tape) for some time now. Likewise, the process is popular with race teams and taxi companies. Available in countless colors, the tape itself is thick enough to protect the paint from minor chips and nicks, and it can be left adhered to the surface for 3-4 years without damage (!). Adhesion isn't a problem either, as the tape can even withstand an automatic car wash without peeling off. Thanks for the tip Frank.

I wonder what's the price difference and how long the tape retains its color and gloss

like you guys said, they've been doing vinyl wraps on car/trucks/buses for quite a while now, but usually for advertising purposes. i'd always wondered about it. plus, it's an alternative if you want to see what your car would look like in a particular color, before paying to have it painted. i wonder if they do the jambs as well...hmmmm
i'm with gearbox on this one. it dosent even look good. and on a beamer!?
