Hello - bit of advice if anyone knows. I‘m looking for a V12 / V12S currently and have seen an S I like but it has the contrasting decals;

Lipstick
Wing mirrors
Sill strips
Roof
Rear of Boot

It’s a little over powering for me. I like the lipstick and can get along with the sill strips. But from preference would of preferred the mirrors, roof and boot, body colour.

I’ve seen when the contrast looks great (particularly white with black) but this is meteorite with silver and the roof / boot is a bit overpowering.

Does anyone know which is painted and which is a wrap I might be able to remove?

Thanks James

Hi James.

If it’s factory finish I believe you will find it’s all painted.

I recall from a factory visit they paint the lipstick after final assembly to ensure it all lines up.

Hello - I’m 90% sure the lipstick is painted but some of the others aren’t (from dealer feedback) but could be wrong and all painted as you mention. Thanks for reply

I'd investigate getting the parts you don't want wrapped....although a colour match would be a problem. The other option would be to get one of the new spray on colour change films which can be removed

They did Chris Harris's Touring recently....Topaz do it to and call it Topaz Skin....they claim it's proprietary but no idea if their process is better/different. Suspect not.
