Dream Machine The

Houdiniwraps

By Gary Gutierrez

This is my personal car - the very one I dreamed about as a kid. And for my birthday this year, I finally got to make that dream a reality. Of course, I had to make it truly my own by wrapping it up. Gotta represent, right?

I wanted something wild, something that would make people stop in their tracks to take a closer look. My vision incorporated bold bandana paisley patterns, a captivating blend of calligraphy and graffiti-inspired elements, all woven together with the vibrant brand colors for my shop. There was only one person I trusted to bring this ambitious concept to life - the design guru himself, Ryan Sandoval with Glarb Design. The process wasn't exactly easy, but Ryan's creative genius and meticulous installation skills were more than up to the challenge. From the bumper to the roof, every inch of the vehicle had to be perfectly wrapped, ensuring a cohesive and visually striking final product. And the jams? We used a UV printer to lay down a custom bandana pattern that really makes them pop.

Once the printing was finalized, the actual installation took a full 4 days. Aligning everything just right was the real head-scratcher, but with the help of my brother, we were able to pull it off. The end result is nothing short of an automotive work of art - a Lamborghini transformed into a rolling canvas that demands attention.

I have to say, the car itself is the real showstopper. Printed on Avery Diamond white vinyl, laminated with a matte finish, and coated in a sleek ceramic Onyx layer, this wild wrap stands out even among the craziest customs. And those UV-printed jams? They're the icing on the cake. Ryan Sandoval at Glarb Designs handled the design, while my partner used a latex printer for the exterior and a UV printer for the jams. Then it was all up to me and my brother to bring it to life through the installation process.
