ZL1 Color Shifting Transformation

jpaxx · 04-13-2017, 11:24 PM

I started out with a gloss black ZL1 but wanted to change it up a bit. I added the clear tail lights, tinted the windows, changed the color, tinted the side markers, trunk break light and added a ceramic coating.

The wrap is 3M Gloss Psychedelic Flip.

Kudos to Apex Customs in Phoenix. I will post more pictures as I have time.

Being that we're all members of the same gen6 community, I've never understood why people respond like this when others post pics of their cars. I get we all have different tastes, but if you hate it, no one is forcing you to comment. Or at the very most, say 'not my thing, but congrats' or something like that.

If you and the op were members of the same local car club, would you mosey up to him and whisper in his ear "Your car is God awful."?

Apologies for the monologue. As you were.

Looks AWESOME! Great job at making it your own.

Nice, is that a spray-on vinyl or actual wrap??...which brand is it?. I've seen that sort of look on "dipyourcar" videos on youtube. That's one way to protect your black paint job

I'm with you on that. If there is a picture of a car that a manufacturer we're going to produce I would state my opinion. When it belongs to someone that changes as there is no justification for saying I don't like it. I like all things different and this appeals to me on some level but I went the Krypton Green route. Another member commented that Krypton is a neat color and that their 5 year old likes it because it looks like an auto bot. Some folks might hear "you bought a car that appeals to a toddler" I'm not insecure however. What I hear is I'm capable of handling a car like that and others may not be. Nobody's opinions matter to me but mine. I'm sure there will be haters on my KG and those that simply don't like it. To those folks I say if you were an expert your opinion might matter but you're not and it doesn't. Cheers

It's an actual film wrap. That plus the Ceramic coating will protect the paint so when we want to go back to black we pull it off and perfect paint.
