Vantablack paint job

Kuch335 · 08-29-2019, 01:41 PM

Ok, time for a new paint job on the 335i & X3

It would be nice to see what this looks like in broad daylight

em5ive · 08-29-2019, 01:50 PM

Interesting. Venom-like.

The lighting in that video pisses me off, it's all done to make the car appear as black as possible. Let's see some actual pictures/videos of it out & about!

Better hope your AC doesnt break. Its gonna be a literal oven.

I think that video is geared toward the hipsters and racer boys. I imagine this is the next step from matte vinyl wrapping.

Gamb1t · 08-29-2019, 05:04 PM

Is it because the lines on this car is so terrible that they had to mask it with pure darkness?
I'm really thinking of new car camo for my next paint scheme.

Ah, so it looks like when graphics don't load properly in Gran Turismo. Neat.

Yea, I want to see it in the sun.. Problem will be that any spec of dust on that paint will stand out even more than it already does on regular black paint. Although it could be an interesting effect in the spring with that layer of green pollen, lol.

Great until a flock of seagulls unloads on it and turns it into a haggard ass Bavarian Dalmatian.

Someone at work sent me a ljnk to this 'abomination' two days ago.
What a hortible marketing stunt. I'll keep my E90 as much as I can.
F series style is looking better compared to the newer BMW design.

Can you imagine how bad swirls will look... or maybe it's just so black they disappear? Either way, I would hate to keep that paint looking nice

At least swirls snd scratches would give it some 'definition'
