BMW 850 Wrapping with Matte Film and Painting the Wheels

Stunning, bold, extravagant, aesthetic – the exterior of the BMW M 850i is a topic that can be discussed endlessly. Even in basic colors, the car is visually pleasing and captivating, but in vibrant purple, deep blue, orange, and burgundy, it is simply impeccable. One such car recently came into the CarEngineering studio. The owner wanted to add even more originality to the purple body with the help of film. Our specialists know exactly how to achieve this.

After considering numerous colors, the client initially chose a black matte film. After some further thought, the decision was made to go with a transparent matte film for the BMW 8, which would preserve the unique shade of the body and add a touch of distinctiveness. To make the coverage even more striking, the wheels and grille, originally silver, were transformed into black. The result was impressive. How we achieved it is detailed in this review.

Matte Protective Film: Protection and Maintenance Features

Matte coating is a type of polyurethane with a visible design after application. Unlike glossy film, which is virtually invisible and does not alter the appearance, matte polyurethane noticeably distinguishes the car from others.

In terms of protective qualities, matte film is identical to glossy film:

The average thickness of 180-190 microns reliably protects the paintwork from scratches, chipped paint, corrosion, damage from accidents, harmful effects of road reagents and cleaning chemicals, resins, oils, and bird droppings.
High resistance to temperature fluctuations maintains the protective properties of the film in both summer and winter. Even a sudden temperature change from freezing to a warm environment will not affect the film.
The top coat layer self-recovers when heated. Minor defects on the film will disappear on their own with exposure to sunlight or warm water.
The film does not require replacement for 5 to 8 years of active use. During this time, detailed maintenance of the coating is also unnecessary. A single wash will suffice.

There is only one minor difference when using BMW 8 with matte anti-gravel film – if the coating is severely damaged, the entire part will need to be re-wrapped. With glossy polyurethane, it is somewhat easier, as the film can be polished.

Recently, colored polyurethane has been gaining popularity. Applying a polyurethane film to the BMW will appeal to those who want to combine styling and protection in one wrap. While this luxury comes at a high price, the result surpasses all expectations.

Our studio provides a quality guarantee for all selected materials. We only work with original films, purchasing them from official suppliers and always checking the quality and freshness of the coating. To verify the authenticity of the material, we can unroll a new film right in front of you. CarEngineering is completely transparent with its clients and never hides anything.

After completing the work, we issue a warranty for the coverage from the company, such as a 5-year warranty on Llumar films. During this period, you can come to us with any questions regarding the quality of the wrapping.

The manufacturer also provides a separate 10-year warranty on this film. The manufacturer confirms that the coating will not lose its properties throughout its service life until removal.

We also paint BMW wheels with high-quality paint designed for long-term use, resistant to reagents, gravel, and sandblasting.

Complete Wrapping of BMW 8 with Film: Why Full Coverage is Necessary for Matte Film

At CarEngineering, we offer to wrap the car completely or just the high-risk areas. For colored or matte films, only full wrapping is suitable. This ensures a cohesive result and, in the case of polyurethane, fully protects the vehicle from all sides. Full wrapping also has several other advantages:

All parts under the film retain their original appearance and do not wear out.
Prevents damage to unprotected parts and subsequent repainting. In case of repairs, finding a color that matches the original is nearly impossible due to color shortages in the Russian market.
If desired, you can add anti-chrome to the main wrapping – a black vinyl coating for chrome details. This service not only adds style to the car but also protects the chrome from wear. The anti-chrome effect can be clearly seen on the grille. It looks just like the painting of BMW 8 wheels. The film can be removed at any time, restoring the grille to its original appearance.

The Process of Wrapping the Car in Film: Revealing the Secrets of Quality Wrapping

The conditions in which the work is performed, the experience of the technicians, the quality of materials, and adherence to all technological stages – this is the formula for ideal wrapping at CarEngineering. During the service, we consider every detail, always work carefully, and focus solely on quality and the best result.

It all starts with the work area. Dust, dirt, and disorder are enemies of any service, so before the car arrives, the room is always cleaned, the required temperature is maintained, and tools and materials are prepared.

The next step is to inspect the car, wash it, and remove some parts for separate wrapping. Once the body is prepared, we proceed with measuring and cutting the film.

Wrapping the BMW 8 in film is not difficult for specialists with years of experience, even when faced with a curved trunk lid. Its upper part protrudes over the entire rear of the car.

The complex shape gives a sporty silhouette but challenges CarEngineering specialists, who gladly accept it. A small piece of polyurethane is enough. We apply the film, distribute it, smooth it – and it’s done. The only thing left is to trim the excess edges and tuck the film inside.

By the way, regarding tucking. Many services neglect this step and simply trim the film along the contour of the part. The result is constant material tearing, re-wrapping of parts, and a high risk of damage even to a car with film. By spending a bit more time, the car can be protected much better, and CarEngineering chooses the latter approach.

Upon completion, we inspect the car and let it dry. Both the wheels and the film will need time until the next day to dry thoroughly. The manager contacts the client in advance to inform them when the car can be picked up.

At the meeting, we show the car owner the result, issue the warranty, and invite them to visit us for a routine inspection in 1-2 weeks. This free service is conducted to check the quality of the work. We wash the car for free, inspect the BMW 8 with film, and send another satisfied client out to impress drivers and passersby with their unique vehicle.
