3M Brushed Steel wrap on R8

Once the wrap is on the car and adhesive cured, how strong is it from rock ships or minor scratches?

The wrap isn't stuck with adhesive - just static cling. the same process that's used on your iPhone (or similar) when you put a face shield on.

The 3M material is the same as the one used for "clear bras", so very chip resistant.

There's over 30 colors in the 3M line and any of them can have an additional matt layer laminated on the top. An amazing choice!

I agree! I don't even like wraps, usually, but the results on that car are just remarkable. My question is what is the texture like when you touch it. Anyone ever come across this in person?

Yes. I've come across that same brushed steel wrap on the rear spoiler of a wrapped matte white V10 Spyder. (See attached photo.) I was able to feel texture as if the spoiler were really brushed aluminum or steel. It fooled me at first because I thought perhaps it was an aftermarket spoiler made out of brushed aluminum.

Came across this color selection of brushed steel finishes.

Thanks, Gazza!

The black looks as good as I imagined it would. Very interesting indeed.
