Like many who have been granted the privilege of ordering a new Ford GT, I still haven't decided on a color. I would like a unique color all my own, but also know that that option comes with a hefty price tag. Any color I choose will require quite a bit of clear bra film work to protect all that valuable paint, regardless of color choice. One idea I had was to go with a base color, say silver, for example, then have a high-performance custom restyling wrap done. The technology in the wrap film has come a long way in recent years with better adhesives, longer-life and some vibrant custom color choices. There are pearls, satins, matte, and metallic finishes of all kinds. The problem that I see is the complexity of the NGT's lines. It would require a top-notch experienced installer working with the best tools and film substrates. I have seen some spectacular finishes done in wrapped film on Lambos, Ferrari's and Porsche cars. Doing a wrap could potentially kill two birds with one stone by offering paint protection while giving me an option to choose a very custom body color. In fact I could probably change colors once or twice without incurring much more expense than a one-off custom paint job meant to last a life time. So here are my questions for the group:
1. Has anyone done a wrap yet or are considering a wrap on their new FGT?
2. Who are the best installers?
3. Which film maker is best, 3M?, Avery Dennison?, others?
4. What draw-backs are there to using film for custom body styling?
Are there any other thoughts or concerns?
I have only had one car in a full wrap, which was a Ferrari 430 Challenge Race Car. Ferrari did the wrap and it looked spectacular, but I did not have it done myself, I bought it that way, so I have little experience with this technique. Any thoughts are appreciated.
