Case overview
Discover the meticulous process behind transforming a Lamborghini Aventador with a 3M 1080 Deep Matte Black wrap at GRAPHIOS. Car wrapping offers numerous benefits, including protecting the original paint, enhancing aesthetics, and providing a unique, customized look. This case study takes you through each detailed step of our process, highlighted by 4K videos that showcase the craftsmanship involved.
Step 1:
Initial Inspection and Cleaning
Watch as our team performs a thorough inspection of the Lamborghini Aventador to ensure it’s in pristine condition. We begin the cleaning process using Meguiar’s soap with a neutral pH, which is gentle on the OEM paint. After washing, we use a clay bar to remove any additional imperfections, leaving the surface paint glass-like clean and perfectly prepared for the wrap.
Step 2:
Disassembly of Parts
Our expert technicians carefully disassemble various parts of the vehicle, including mirrors, handles, and trim pieces. This step is essential for a seamless wrap application, allowing the vinyl to cover every edge and corner precisely.
Step 3:
Measuring and Cutting the Wrap
Precision is key as we measure and cut the 3M 1080 Deep Matte Black wrap to fit the contours of the Aventador perfectly. Using advanced tools and techniques, our team ensures every piece of vinyl is cut to exact specifications.
We take immense care in the measuring and cutting stage to ensure that every piece of vinyl fits perfectly and enhances the vehicle’s contours.

Step 4:
Applying the 3M 1080 Wrap
Our 3M certified master installers demonstrate the meticulous application of the wrap. Each piece of vinyl is applied with precision, transforming the Aventador’s look with a sleek, deep matte finish. We use 3M Primer 94 on convex/concave areas and high-stress points to ensure the vinyl adheres perfectly and does not lift over time. Additionally, 3M Knifeless Tape Finish Line is used to ensure precise cuts without damaging the OEM paint.
The vinyl used has a unique adhesive system with microscopic particles of glue that are pressure-sensitive. When applied and pressed, these particles break and release the adhesive, ensuring a strong and lasting bond.
- Benefits: Provides a durable, protective layer that can be easily removed or replaced, preserving the original paint and allowing for future customization.
Step 5:
Reassembly and Final Touches
After the wrap application, we carefully reassemble all parts of the vehicle. A final inspection ensures everything is perfectly aligned and the wrap meets our high standards of quality. The result is a flawless, eye-catching finish that elevates the Aventador’s curb appeal.
- Benefits: Ensures the wrap looks seamless and professional, with all vehicle functions restored to their original state.
Optional:
Ceramic Coating Application
As an optional service, we also offer a ceramic coating application specifically formulated for vinyl surfaces. In this case, a ceramic coating was applied to the wrapped Aventador. This special coating enhances the wrap’s durability, making it resistant to environmental damage and easier to clean.
