Why?

This was a lovely white a few weeks ago.

Not only is an ugly, flat paint job, they painted over the applied markings.

Maybe if this was a 10 yr old civic, it wouldn't seem that bad. But it was a clean white paint job on a Beamer.

*sigh

At least it's just a regular 1-series, and not a 1M. That would have been a true tragedy.

The green is for the money, the gold is for the honeys. Get with the program.

[jtbenson]

maybe it's a vinyl wrap?


but yeah, either way it's quite vulgar.

[jswing]

I really hate seeing shit like that. Looks ghetto. Car should be confiscated.

[toxicavenger]

I think that is plastic dip, I saw a S4 done the same way and it looked like shit also.

[jeckyll]

Needs a chick with a major spray-on tan in it to make it complete.

[gwells]

pretty sure it's just a shitty paint job. it's my neighbor across the street.

[Seth]

Wrap.

[jeckyll]

I'd tell you to go over and piss on it, but that really wouldn't make any difference now, would it.

[Panerai7]

Nice patina

[Joeprez]

Because race car!






Is it me or the door doesn't match the rest of the (wrap) paint job?

[JP Chestnut]

It looks like a color change finish.

Actually the car looks like a spray-on tan.

Don't like the proportions of the 1 series. This really doesn't help.

i glanced at it when i was pulling up to the house today. there's paint spillover on the real taillight covers. so sad.

[pacifichrono]

It's so bad it looks like the door had to be replaced.

If Plastidip at least it is easily reversible.

i'm not buying the wrap idea (esp. after seeing overspray on the tails).

I think that is plastic dip, I saw a S4 done the same way and it looked like shit also.

this is what i was thinking. i seem to remember seeing some color-shift the other day when i was in Pep Boys.

personally, i like Dip. i sprayed the mirror caps and grill on my Mk4 GTI and it looks fantastic. when the lower grills were starting to fade, i did them too (next up: front and real valances). it's better than Back to Black because it actually does last for more than a week

Erik, use bumper paint and it would look factory and won't peal like plastic dip. Also when spraying plastic dip on big areas it has a tendency to look like spray paint since it will look uneven. But not as bad on small pieces like you did.

Here is a photo of a Gold Plasti-Dip car I found online. Looks similar. he probably used a different angle on the door of the BMW which caused the shading to look different.

To answer the title of the thread:

We will never know. Maybe daddy issues

[hoppyjr]

Sometimes the kids do a "wrap" of tape over paint. That could be it. Either way it's fugly.
