Awesome job--car looks amazing. One question: is it cool to wrap a freshly painted car/part? I've heard that you should let the paint fully cure (couple weeks?) before wrapping.

Pretty obv that something doesn't look right. Maybe only in the pics? I would guess that if its not a color problem then it is the thickness of the clearcoat.

Craftsmanship is impecable but from the pics there is obviously a color problem. . . too much to blame it on the lacking of a full cure. Not hatin, jus saying.

Which bumper and which pictures are you referring to?

We took the pictures in areas lit from many sources. The pics from the shop are being lit from open doors in the back (sunlight) to lights hanging above. In the showroom, sun shines through the front windows while the ceiling lights shine down.

That being said, the different angles from the different sources affect the reflection and shadows on the paint. SLR digital cameras are very sensitive to the different wave lengths. Especially when photographing metallic based paints in the sun.

Let me know if you would like some more information, pictures, or if you have any questions.

Thanks

Its a really good job and the end product is very nice. I think the paint color variations we are seeing are just the product of the various lighting conditions when the picture was taking.

Again, car looks great.
