- Hunkered down at home? Under quarantine? Bored? Here is some light relief for you… It’s TIME TO REVEAL MY CAR’S WRAP!!
I can’t thank the guys at #PrintLab in Lakeville MN enough for doing such an amazing job of this gorgeous blue wrap on my Porsche 911. WOW. I’m still in shock at how much I love it. Not only the wrap, but all the little accents that tie it together nicely. The decals, the notch on the steering wheel, my Sports Chrono clock face, the black emblems, the smoked tight lights and reflectors. What do you think?? Hit me up in the comments below and let me know! Good, bad or ugly - I’m really excited to hear what you think.
Also… through a partnership with PrintLab Lakeville, I’m really excited to announce that we will be offering the colorful Sports Chrono gauge faces for purchase. COMING SOON to AutoAmateur.com - Blue, red, green, yellow, white, silver, grey, black, orange. Watch this space!
So what next…? Suggestions please!
As ever, thanks so much for watching my videos and supporting my channel. I do all of this because of my passion for cars and interacting with like minded car enthusiasts. Keep the comments and chat coming! More videos coming soon. Cheers!

Thanks Jocelyn!! Appreciate it! 🥳🥳🥳
New car. Congratulations
Completely new car! Masterpiece!
Thanks so much Geert!!
Love the colour. 👍
Car looks fab James
Huge fan of the wrap! Congratulations on your side venture 😍😍
I agree, the decals really do add a nice touch. The color contrasts beautifully and visually it pulls together the front and rear wheels, and balances well with the dark tinted windows. Good job!
Thanks John!! Appreciate it!!
OMG!!! it looks so good with this blue... love it!👌
Thanks so much!!
The blue is simply amazing!
Great color! I love my 991.2 in blue too. Enjoy! I am looking forward to see the chrono faces, I would definitely get one in red for my baby.
Great to sea your kids enjoying too
Cheers Jose! Appreciate it!
Really like your choice of Mexico Blue! Job well done!!!
Again, just watching this video again makes me smile, the car is awesome, the decals make the car pops...
Congratulations again...
Hahah. Thanks so much Valentin!! Appreciate it. Cheers!
Gorgeous! A real head turner!
Cheers Scott!
Wow that is fantastic, changes the whole character of the car 😀👍
Cheers Phil! Appreciate it!
Pretty!!!
Car is looking good. The Porsche logo on the side panel is a nice touch.
Cheers Ed! Appreciate it!
I really didn’t love the original color of your car but now I would buy this car!
The benefit of gray and black cars is the fact that they are easy to wrap and not worry about the unwrapped portions.
Amazing just amazing how much I love your car now! Bravo!
Thanks so much!! Appreciate it!!
Love it! What a transformation!!
Cheers Daniel!! 🥳🥳🥳
Looks like a totaly different car. Love the colour and accent colours!
Wow! I must say that when I saw the color at the beginning of the video I was not excited ... but when I saw the final result, I could hardly believe it! Excellent job! Well done James! I loved seeing the family celebrating together at the end of the video. Congratulations for the lovely family!
Thanks so much! Appreciate it!! 🙌👍
Looks fantastic James, from the West Midlands UK, 997 4S owner.
Side note your children are absolutely adorable! They are going to be car fanatics just like you! 👏🏽👏🏽
Beautiful car, beautiful work. Love the interior accents you put in, and the Porsche side decals.
Cheers Dave!!
Glad your happy with how it turned out! Love the video, was a fun project!
Cheers Ben! Appreciate it! 🤩🙌
The wrap looks great James! Love the color and the transformation of the car. Enjoy the new look and keep up the great content.
Cheers Chuck! 🤩🙌
Blown away by the colour, so striking, yet classy, well done James!
Thanks so much!! 🤩👍
WOW WOW WOW THAT LOOKS AMAZING !!
And I’m not a wrap kind of guy. I’m impressed !
It really looks like a different car
Much faster 🤣 but way cool .
It looks exceptional my friend
You must be ecstatic.
The black Porsche decal just ties it all together . Well done
On my build I went with Porsche’s
M5D/Enzianblau.
That's fantastic!
Cheers!!
Looking good James 👍👏🙌
Thanks Michael!! :)
The labor involved in this process is unreal. It is no wonder at all that it is an expensive process. That color is absolutely alive. Congrats and Cheers!
Thanks Johnathan! Appreciate it!!
Definite improvement... WTG!
Love the color..looks great with the black..good choice.cheers!
Thanks so much!!
Looks so awesome! Congrats!
Cheers Rob!!
Since I drive a 991.2 in Miami Blue, that should tell you what I think..........fabulous!
Congratulations on the new car! Amazing to see the boys react to it. The stripe is killer with the color matched wheels. If you wrap the wing mirrors the same, it’s pretty similar to my Miami blue T.
Turned out awesome ! Love the porsche side graphics
Thanks Nick!! I bought the decals for my 997 originally but never used them. Glad I didn’t!
The car looks friggin awesome! I bet you can’t wait for summer to get here!
That’s right!! 😆😆👍
Man! Just gorgeous..
Thanks Roy!! 🤩🙌
Loved your kids reaction at the end of the video :) Future Porsche owners, no doubt.
Thanks Ronald!! I couldn't resist dropping that video in at the end. Cheers!
Looks lovely!
Thanks Tony!!
Looks great, good choice. Enjoy 👌👍
Cheers Mat!
Turned out amazing 😉.
Cheers mate! Can’t wait for you to see it in person!
I absolutely love the color!!! I'm a huge fan of blue, but this is quite an exotic blue and really makes the lines of the car pop. Awesome job buddy! I can't wait to check it out
Cheers mate!! Will we see you on Sunday for the drive?
@@AutoAmateur yes! I'll just throw some insurance on the little guy and we'll be set. I think it would be fun to meet at Dunn and tour de cities 😁
Michael Smith game on brother! I’ll see you in the parking lot of Dunn Bros. Bring your walkie talkie from TOTD!
Mint!! Decals finish it off awesome. Love the carbon fibre chrono too. Adam & Luke so cute hahahaa
Ha! Thanks Paul!!
Beautiful looks great enjoy!
Thanks John!! 🤩🙌
Totally gorgeous James. What a professional job they’ve made and the decals and accents are perfect 👌
Cheers Iain! Appreciate it!
Auto Amateur be auto professional at this rate
Looks way better and unique, congrats...🎈
Thanks so much!! 👍👍
James!! You’ve got a new car! It really looks great, love the black details. Inside and outside in the sun, wow.. I’m sure you’re longing for spring now, with those crisp sunny days.. It’s going to be absolutely fabulous. Enjoy, mate! Cheers, Irwin
Cheers Irwin! Appreciate it!!
Looks great. Nice color choice!
Thanks Chris!!
That looks stunning 👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
Cheers Paul!! 🙌🙌🙌
Great choice of colour, James! Congrats! It‘s now a complete different car. You wrapped it to GT3 Level!
Woooohooo!! Thanks so much Oliver!!
Keep the grind here now I can bindge watch we got a curfew here in ny and nj lol ty for the uploads (workin from home is great lol)
Cheers!! Stay safe and enjoy the binge!! 🤣👍
James, I wasn’t sure when you did your preview, but dang it is gorgeous! Bloody well done! A truly unique looking ride. The part that I truly am impressed by are the dark wheels. I usually hate dark wheels but the really are perfect for this car and color combo. 👍😎🤪
Thanks Rick!! Haha. Appreciate it!! 👍🥳🥳🥳
I have the exact same Porsche.....racing yellow that I might wrap. Like the blue
Looks awesome James well done!!!
Thanks Tom! 🙌🤩
Looks great James. The best thing you could do to help keep it clean is to have a ceramic coating applied.
Hey man i love your vids you deserve more views! The editing is very well done. I myself have a 2001 carrera cabriolet with a stick and you really gave me alot ideas for my car and what im thinking of for the future. Also love your taste! im more of a mexico blue kinda guy but miami blue is fantastic too. Keep up the sick vids.
Thanks so much!! Appreciate the feedback!!
Love that sports chrono clock face change out - interesting extra in the video. Colour is perfect. Needs a ducktail 😎🤔😉
Ohhh interesting. I haven't considered a duck tail yet. Nice!
This looks incredible! I have almost identical car, 991.1 Carrera S, and I want to do something similar! Cant figure out the color, but love the side decal! Will be doing the same thing!
Looks much better than I expected!
Now you need to add contrasting brake calipers and seat belts. Personally, I'd go Speed Yellow for both.
Mate , it looks fucking awesome. I got to see it inside of print labs today but let me tell u that seeing it outside in the video just blew my mind. Congrats 👏 👏 👏 great color
Thanks mate!! Appreciate it!!! 🥳🥳🥳👍
Love it
Thanks so much!! 🙌🙌
When I saw the first piece of the wrap on the hood I thought noooo...then the end result blew me away! Great choice and I love the inside touch with the sport chrono clock. How about 3-D printing some matching blue trim pieces for the 5 piece instrument cluster surrounds, that would look badass (& you could probably sell a bucket load of those too!)
Cheers Ian! Thanks!!
Ohhh baby! That's soooo sweet. Love the color. I wasn't sure about the satin from the sample you showed from the last video, but it's brilliant!!! TBH, I'm not a huge fan of whites, blacks and greys. It's stunning!! Had to watch it a couple of times. They did a great job. And so much cheaper than buying another 911. LOL I'll stick with my Guards Red, but when it's time to follow in your footsteps to a 991, shopping for color won't be such a big deal any longer. Future projects? Maybe another aero kit? I've been rewatching your series on your 997. Thinking about doing that to mine. LOL Too bad TechArt doesn't list prices!! ;-) Or maybe a good thing. Great vid as always James. Thanks for sharing your journey with us!! Cheers
Thanks so much!!
Wow!
one word : Gniiiiiiiii
more seriously, it's now a jaw dropping car. I love that. James you made it so well (and the small touches of blue for the interior, just enough, so great)
The badge on the rear and the decals on the side just put the final touch for a great combo
so gorgeous
Hahaha. Thanks Laurent!! Appreciate it!! 🤩🙌 Hope you’re staying safe and healthy over there.
@@AutoAmateur Yes, Frenchies are confined. My city looks like an episode of The Walking Dead :D
BTW I'm part of those who can do home office, so I have to say I'm not so bad
Thank you James
Great wrap. I am considering about similar to mine 991 one day perhaps
Thanks Khalid!! 🤩🙌
To be honest I did not want you to change colour as loved it as it was but OMG that is outstanding
Cheers Jason!!
Nice color. Looks like a very high quality work done. You should get another set of wheels and paint them with same color blue :)
Congrats. I wrapped my 991.1 4s cab two years also in blue. I took the avery light blue and this 99% similiar to riviera blue from porsche. That black Porsche stripe s on the side I have also ;) .
Awesome!! How has your wrap worn over the last couple of years?
@@AutoAmateur Thank you for the reply. I have really no problems at all with the wrap. After a year or so you will start to think about a another color ;). Sometimes the color is to outstanding for me. The normal color is black an really nobody turned the head for the porsche. With that blue you will get alot of compliments. Where ever you are, you cant hide anymore and kids will give thumbs up. I think I will keep it for another year and then I will move back into stealth mode. Is your key also wrapped? I will send you a some pics tomorrow.
Nice color choice there James, the car looks awesome!! Maybe the next go around we can go with Lizard Green!
Right!! 🦎
Love it! James want a ride.
Haha. Cheers David!
I liked grey
Hi James, you do a great job on you videos, please keep them coming. I just saw this wrap video, I had no idea you wrapped your car, it looks awesome. Are you happy with it? Are rock chips a problem?
I have a 16' 991 black edition (which I love), it has a fabspeed exhaust (not headers). I wanted to ask your opinion on what is the best way to get more power from my car? I have driven 992s and while I LOVE those turbos, I love the sound of my car, I'm just looking for a bit more power without breaking the bank. Any suggestions? BTW I did my center console lid cover with the embossed porsche logo because of your video. It looks awesome, thanks. Cheers!
Clean.
Thanks!
Auto Amateur i really like how the Porsche side decal, dark wheels, tint, and tinted tail lights balance out the bright color.
I agree with the viewer who recommended the matching seatbelts. Because why not go all out when it’s not my budget :)
Love the color! If I were you I would ceramic coat the wrap, it will make it easy to clean and make the wrap last longer.ceramic seems hard but it’s pretty easy
Thanks! I’ll check it out!!
I freakin' love it man! It know I got see it before anyone else but I have to say...it looks incredible on the car. I cant wait to see our cars side by side. #rainbowcargasm
Ha!! Thanks mate!! 🙌🙌🙌
Red and blue! Side by side!! Can’t wait.
Ah man. I'll be honest. I wasn't sure about that colour when you first told us what you chose. Also, I'm not normally a fan of decals and strips. However, your car looks awesome now! Crazy good. The colour works and that Porsche stripe along the side really finished it off. Also, interesting how dark the windows and rear lights look.
Looks great man 👌👌
Thanks so much mate! Appreciate it!! Hope all’s well with you.
James - beautiful color choice! As always, great video. When you get to cleaning, will you add commentary about matte versus gloss?
Thanks mate! Sure thing, will do!
Need the blue seat belts! It would really bring inside. It's cheaper to have done than you think.
You should have shown us the first part of the video in black & white watching them work on the panels. That would better surprise us with the stunning blue color all at once!
Ooh this colour looks better than I thought it would. Very nice. I'm not sure if I missed it in the video how did you get the steering wheel blue stripe looks pretty good. For me I probably would have put the mirrors black to match the diffuser etc. I'm not sure about the tinted rear lights but itl probably grow on me. Maybe there is some way to make them 3d (gen 2) like changing the lenses or something. Could be a future video. Overall great job by the guys love the decals too. 😉
Thanks Faraz!! The blue stripe on the steering wheel is just a piece of the wrap. Super simple to wrap around and install. It comes off just as easily if I get bored of it.
Amazing video James! Colour is tight!
1) I heard Dennis say something in regards to the back wheel area - was it in regards to the original Porsche rock guard/wrap that’s right in front of the rear wheel? I have a kidney shaped “clear wrap” right in front of the rear wheels - I always wondered how they’d get that off and if it would be a different shade of paint (I’m doing a clear PPF in the front in a few weeks but wondered about how they’d do the back with that wrap there). Was that what he was referring to in the video? I guess since your wrap is opaque, if there was any discolouration it wouldn’t really matter.
2) Obsessed Garage, recommended you me a deionized water system called CR Spotless - it removes all minerals from the water and therefore leaves zero residue. It won’t leave water spots (I can get into more detail over email if you actually want a full review). I wash outside in direct sunlight and on my black car it would dry really quickly and leave spots. CR Spotless essentially eliminated that.
3) kids were so excited! Is it weird, all I could think of was saying in my most calm tone possible “watch the finnnnnngggggeerrrrprinnnnntsss!”... lol!
James, a new project could be to wrap or paint those dark callipers , maybe same blue..... or it will be too much blue? Hehe...
cheers from Northampton, UK!! I love your channel mate!..👍🏻👊🏻😎
Cheers mate! I used to gig in a band in Northampton in the late 90s! Haha. Awesome. Cheers!
Damn that looks great!! Amazing journey. I am not 100% about going matt. Gloss may have been my choice. I think it would be easier to clean maybe?
I’m going to be finding out this weekend... I took it out yesterday and today in the rain to get it dirty!
Question pls. What prep did you do. Did you clay it? Polish? Etc etc
Ta
Hi James. The car looks awesome. What a dramatic change, I love all the detail changes too and see that you changed the Sport Chrono again (BTW: Did you decide to leave off the clock hands?).
I have a full Xpel PPF clear wrap on my car with Xpel's Ceramic Fusion coating and can highly recommend that. Xpel also do a spray cleaner and Ceramic Boost quick detailer that suitable or you can use Gtechniq products, which I've also found very good. Enjoy the car!! Best, Mark
Cheers Mark!! Ha... yes, the clock hands. I didn’t leave them off by choice. In fact, they accidentally got catapulted across my garage floor never to be found again this recent and supposedly last time I was going to play with the clock face. 🤦🏼♂️ I’m trying to 3D print some replacements. 🙄😆
@@AutoAmateur Oh No!! 😲 I don't do as much spannering these days but that was the sort of thing that used to happen to me - usually on a 'straight forward' 10 minute job. Until I'd fumble and drop a tiny hard to replace part somewhere in the depths of the engine bay.
Four hours and much cursing later, I'd find it had rolled to the side of the garage!! 🤬
BTW, I emailed info@paragon.ag to see if they would supply some hands for the gauges on my 991 project. No response from them so far but if they do, I'll ask if they could also supply some Sport Chrono hands for your clock. Best, Mark
Looks great, when you have time you should make a list of all your modes to date.
Will do! Thanks Mark!!
Beautifull color! Consider ceramic coating for wrap
Really enjoyed this video. Very cool. Something to be said to go with a bright colour.
Thanks! Appreciate it!!
I thought I was going to have to come to Minnesota and beat you but it looks pretty good
🤣👍
Brilliant colour!! Maybe paint the wheels black to match the rest of the black accents? Either way, it looks awesome!
Cheers Rob!! I thought about that too but I think I’m all mod’ed out for now. 🤣👍
Congrats! No my cup of tea, but as long as you are happy!
I'm very impressed. Did you get a ceramic coating on your wrap? Also, I'm very impressed you had the wing mirrors and the door handles done. It' s a lot of work to take the door cards off. I paid 3,000 for my wrap but the wing mirrors and door handles were not done. Since my car was black, it gave it more of a 2 tone look since my wheels are factory black as well. I didn't get the decals done. It looks good. I removed the front license plate and it makes the car. The front plate ruins the front.
Color looks amazing!! I am sure it is even better in person. Great job! Sign me up for the chrono color switch. I contacted the place on eBay you had the link to, but they do not have the correct blue to match my car, midnight, metallic blue is what I would need. Enjoy your ride.
Cheers Dash! I’m a few weeks away from launching the Chrono gauge faces. Hit me up at AutoAmateurBlogger@gmail.com or I’ll be posting about them again soon with all the details.
Great look! Love your videos. Question about the wrap, does the surface of the car , ie. small paint chips etc need to be perfect, or will the wrap cover a little of that up?
Thanks!! The shop should clay bar down the car before the wrap goes on, but just like the paint itself, the wrap will show minor imperfections in the finish due to paint chips. They won't look as distinct as they do without the wrap, but up close you'll still see them - like from 6-8 inches away.
Incredible transformation! Love it!
Thanks Rich!
Looks great, what a transformation. What brand of wrap did you have fitted? 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks! It was an Avery brand, the color is Satin Light Blue.
@@AutoAmateur Avery, one of the best out there and some great colours available..... surprised the fitters didn't take your bumpers off though 🤔.
Love that blue...mega effective 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
