cool dude Posted September 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 very cool. we are thinking about using this on our shop car a 1979 320i but in blue. on this particular film (Black Brushed metallic) you have to be careful heating and stretching too much in one area otherwise you'll see imperfections ONLY in the sunlight and natural light. It happened to me the first time and had to redo the install, from what I was told the metallic in the film distorts with to much heat and stretching. try to use less heat and more technique in laying the film. If you use other metallic films without the black in the film you will not have these issues, only if you have black (being the background) you will notice this issue.

Yes, the brushed metal films are a little more difficult to work with due to the grain and enhanced texture. I hope to have a video up soon showing some cool tools that drastically help with the more contour areas helping limit these marks that you are referring to.
