Turning a Classic into a Modern-Day Masterpiece

Design Studio (English Version)

by Meryll Berger

The team at Skin Graphics spent over 300 hours restoring a 1932 Ford Coupe and decided to wrap it for the 2024 Avery Wrap Like Royalty contest. The wrap used 10 different Avery Dennison Graphics materials.

For the sides, SWF Pear White printed and laminated DOL1480, and MPI 2040 printed and laminated DOL 2460 gloss, to achieve the desired light and shadow effects. Lines in SWF Rising Sun gloss. Stencils were done with Avery Sign Mask. Gold leaf was also applied for a finishing touch. On the trunk and top, SWF Rising Sun gloss was used once again, as the big curves called for something brilliant. Next, we decided to play with transparent elements. With a see-through hood, this only made sense. For this effect, MPI 1540 Ultra Clear was used on both sides. The layering film gave a deep flame design, but the concept didn’t stop there. We tattooed the vinyl as well, to help us achieve our pinstripping. The nose of the hood above the grill was masked and spray-painted to give a misted glow-in-the-dark effect.

But then we went deeper and wrapped some of the accessories. For a futuristic take on the fuel tanks, SWF Matte Black and MPI 1105 EARS. They are the bomb! ;) The fun didn’t stop there as we went for the interior. The inside panel of the trunk is a stunning print done on SWF Carmin Red printed and laminated DOL 1460. The same material was used for the dash and door frames.

Win or lose, this car and this wrap is a dream come true. We hope you enjoyed this journey of transformation as much as we did.
