^ i was wondering the same...same reason that i am repainting my stang in and out cause of the door jambs being a different color...that would driveme insane

FnF- you are correct....you can deff get a decent paint job well under 3K

 

Love the color on the job man! I like that it is something different than what we normally see on here as well.

I hate to break it to you, but you aren't the "1st wrapped 7thgen". There is another guy that goes by FreshMaxima on my7thgen, that is on air, VIP modulars and a matte white vinyl job. Has had the job done for almost 3 months now.





I am still diggin the blue on yours though, and as long as you are happy with the look of your car that's all that really matter man. Everyone would have something different to someone else's car, but that is the whole point of everyone having their own opinions and tastes when it comes to mods.

 

We must be talking about different things here.

I'm thinking all painted surfaces.

Full trim, windows, lenses, emblems, handles, etc removed. Engine bay, door jambs, and trunk, etc.

Not a pay and spray.

I'll call the guy who does my work and ask him how much a (full) color change on a 7th Gen Maxima would run someone.

 

A full color change is stupidly expensive as you have to pull the motor etc. No one does full color changes unless they are doing a resto or have more $ than brains from my experience.

If you want to do a color change you should have bought the car with the right color from the beginning. That being said why anyone would want a 4 door family sedan to be bright blue is beyond my understanding.

I still think a wrap for $2,800 is very expensive from my experience.

 

Just got off the phone, $4000-5000 to re-paint my car with KH3 (current color). Does not include engine bay but would include door jambs.

Agreed that repainting our cars a different color is ridiculous. In fact, he laughed when I asked about a color change.

I have no idea how much a vinyl wrap costs (or should cost), no experience with that.

Personally, I think the blue wrap came out pretty good. I wouldn't do it to my car, but I don't need that kind of attention.

Definitely a one of kind car, though.

 

I like it....nice electric color bro!

 

The work that they did looks top notch. Liking the color

 

Saw you on 93 in Dorchester today looking nice!

 

That looks amazing! I am surprised how good a wrap can look.

 

Nice!

 

The more we modify the further we get.....

My 69 camaro frame off resto paint is running me 6K on the cheap end. Materials alone are 2,500 . Keep in mind the car is a shell already and this is only paint & prep no body work. a full color change with Jams and engine bay would run 4 to 5 k with inexpensive paint on a Maxima all day long via American workforce. Ive been all around the world and the US and cant say ive seen it all. But I have seen there are some regions that pay workers less $ and in those areas I have seen a 3k full color change paint job. I had a fully color candy paint job done in mexico on a 1969 fastback for 2K. It looked super nice for the first year. Then the bad prep started showing its face....I know there are talented people in those areas who can produce killer paint jobs for cheap $. Those are also the people who are up to snuff with chemical compounds , adhesion promotion and quality work that lasts. So without talking more about paint.. Yes a 3K color change is possible but it would probably last as long as that wrap guaranteed.


As for the wrap: it looks badass and mad props to modifications on the Maxima..

 

Bad.***. Love it.

 

My question with the full wrap is. If u get pulled over ur registration doesn't match ur car now if u wrap the car a diff color. I would think you would be hassled by police in that case. ???

 

Show him the door jambs as he's asking you to step out of the vehicle

 

Looks good bud. They did great work.

 

can you post a pic of the edge of the doors in the jamb area where the vinyl ends? I'm just curious on the line when the doors are open.

 

Your plates & VIN still match the registration so no big deal -- tell them you recently changed the car's color

 

ok i know you guys didnt like the 22s so there gone new 20in vossens on the way.

 

who cares what they like do you!!!

 

I liked them but it was time for new wheels, i had them on for 3 years, ended up getting matte graphite cv2s 20x9 front 20x10.5 rear it should match the darker theme alot nicer.

 

I voted yours for MOTM in the Facebook group. I'm gonna like it even more when those 22's get swapped out. Whatever wheels you like best, of course, but I'm stoked for you to get the vossens. Gonna look so freakin good.

 

Can't wait to see them new Vossens!!

 

Mike, Do you just use soap and water when you wash it? I guess no wax on the wrap correct?

 

i been washing her at the car wash with soap and water then let it air dry they when shes fully dry i use mothers quick detail .

 

cant wait for the cv2, to come in been dying to see them in a staggered fitment...somebody else had them but the 9's around didnt do it for me and he wasnt lowered..

 

Nice man Nice. Looks good. Love that color.

 

Would like to see the Max in Chrome wrap.

 

Have you taken the Max to Gillete stadium
On Thursdays for the big car show

 

That color is sick, I actually saw this car in a google search looking for ideas. I love the black between the upper and lower grill, thinking bout doing something similar.

BUT since I don't have $2800 to spend on wrap, hell spend on anything right now lmao, I think my roommates and I are gonna experiment with the Plastidip method. Fully Plasti-Dipped 7th Gen, get ready! Lol. Think to do the whole car it'll come out to like $200-$300, with the spray gun and dip.

 

I can't take you seriously because your NaMe DoEs ThIs ThInG

 

Can't please everybody. Can't judge a book by its cover... this is the internet after all.

 

x100

 

 

I judge every book by its cover. I'm always prepared and eager to have my opinions changed if initially my judgment was wrong. And if it turns out I love the book, I'll still tell the author that the book's cover is silly.

 

Looking sick Mike!

 

Those brake covers ruin the car! My wife even makes fun of them. I always roll by people with those and see them muggin my real BBK.

 

what kind of rack is that? Where can I find?
