Looks good OP. You have a link to the 3M site, interested to see what other colours are available...will keep LBB for a while, but then might want a change.

Blue Raspberry = San Merino Blue (pretty close anyway, San Merino has more flakes)

They may not use official BMW color names/designations...but there are more there.

Big fan of your wrapping skills; kudos.

Not so much a fan of the colour.. maybe it's because I see a ton of these dorky things around where I live

Thx. If you already didn't know this Atlantis Blue is official BMW Individual color on M3/4. If I wanted to be rowdy I would've went with Rose Gold Chrome wrap.

In my opinion your yellow M3 is more dorky than the Mitsubishi you attached. Lol

These are some of the reputable wrap brands: 3M, Avery, APA. I'm sure there are more. APA is super expensive but they have some crazy awesome colors. 3M and Avery are similar and I would like to try Avery product next time. Application difficulty varies from brand to brand. 3M was very forgiving but I'd like to see Avery makes it even easier.

for links, google it up. you'll find them easily all over the internet.

if your garage is heated, it should be good enough. just preheat the panel with the heat gun before the application. it's the corners and edges that will give you adhesion problems in colder temperature.

too busy working I've only put 200 miles on this car in the past 3 weeks. will post more pictures as I drive more.

I mean I really don't think anyone would agree phoenix yellow looks like taxi yellow, that would be acatama. But hey man to each their own. Like I said the wrap is a beaut. Are you self taught?

that's your view on blues and this is my view on yellows. At least I won't be waived down by tourists in NYC by being mistaken for a cab.

I personally stay away from yellow vehicles starting from my early days with motorcycles. Yellow bike owners and their matching yellow helmets and yellow jackets threw me off big time. Other colors such as blue bikes or red bikes are not as bad as matching yellow set. Also yellow Porsche owners with their yellow t shirts and yellow baseball caps. lmao.

with all jokes aside I like the Phoenix yellow E36 M3 but my favorite in that generation was the purple with dove interior.

For this generation M cars, my favorite is Atlantis Blue followed very closely by LBB.

yes self taught, my first time. there was a big learning curve so I started out with the hood which has the least curves and creases. bumpers were the hardest where the wrap bunched up at the corners.

Acatama yellow is an individual colour, not a phrase. Named after a desert in Chile. Phoenix was never available on the E36 that was Dakar yellow which is a pale yellow. Phoenix is far more green and looks nothing at all like a cab. I am very confident in saying nobody would ever be flagged down by anyone while driving a PY E46 M3 or AY F8x M3/4. Funny thing my favourite was also technoviolet for the e36 though. Agreed on cringe factor 1000 on Porsche owners.

I do NOT have the guts to do my own wrap. I've wrapped trim on my E39 M5 and found it to be a real nightmare. So much redo-ing and if that were my entire car I'd need likd 2x the material just for mistakes.

sorry, I copied and pasted what you wrote and filled in the blank. but you get my point. (and English isn't my first language, nor I make my living off knowing English 100%, no one does really even the natives unless you are an English professor )

I forgot to include their matching yellow leather covered air vents with red convertible fabric which they must've paid $30,000 extra for.

I thought I had the guts so I started this project to protect the paint at a budget. I came very close to giving up many times, thinking "why am I doing this Sh*t when I can be driving this beast right now" And this went on for 2 weeks.

My bad! Your english is great considering. 2 weeks really isn't bad considering you did it yourself in your spare time. Nice work!

Thank you for your compliments. I had 3 hours of sleep for 2 weeks.

Don't need to feel bad. I can't give less crap about anyone rating my English skills. English is overrated. Learn Chinese or Spanish if anything. (I'm not either one).

anyways I'll answer any questions about wrapping. go ahead and ask away people.

I should be heading out for a drive this Sunday morning so I'll be back with some more pictures.
