Race-Ready Styling | Performance Wraps | Mitsubishi Evo 9 Livery | Vinyl Wrapz Perth
Built for competition, designed to stand out — a full wrap that brings race attitude to the workshop floor and the dirt track.
When the team at Perfmet approached us with their Mitsubishi Evolution 9 rally car, they weren’t after anything basic. This wasn’t just a project about updating a livery — it was about prepping a purpose-built race machine with a new visual identity that matched its engineering pedigree.
From the moment this car rolled into the Vinyl Wrapz workshop, it was clear this wasn’t your average performance vehicle. Fully stripped-out and tuned for competition, this Evo 9 was clad in carbon, fitted with track hardware, and clearly had some kilometres of hard driving behind it.
The brief was to remove the remnants of the previous wrap, create a bold new look, and install a complete, high-end full wrap ready for the pressures of rally stages and public promo alike.
Perfmet is a specialist fabrication and metal solutions provider, heavily involved in motorsport sponsorships and competition builds across Australia. Their involvement in rally racing showcases the same values they bring to their business: toughness, performance, and precision.
This Mitsubishi Evo 9 rally car is part of their broader competition fleet, flying the Perfmet name at high speeds across some of Australia’s toughest rally stages.
The Mitsubishi Evo 9 is an icon — a turbocharged, all-wheel-drive machine built to dominate twisty mountain roads and loose gravel rally stages. The version we worked on was fully rally-prepped:
This wasn’t just a showpiece. It was a hard-driven race vehicle that needed a wrap capable of holding up to competition use and repeated public exposure at events and meets.
Unlike a factory-fresh daily driver, race cars come with history. This Evo had already been wrapped once before — and that wrap had partially fused with the bodywork due to rally-stage abuse, UV exposure, and extreme temperatures.
Before we could begin applying anything new, we needed to:
Only then could we start installing the new custom design, which had been developed in-house by the Vinyl Wrapz team to align with Perfmet’s bold, metallic-heavy visual direction.
We knew the Perfmet Evo needed to look fast standing still — but it also had to reflect the brand’s identity: engineering-driven, bold, and unapologetically sharp.
The final layout included:
Rather than lean on racing clichés like checkerboard patterns or generic rally fonts, we aimed to build a look that’s recognisably Perfmet — confident, industrial, and no-nonsense.
Race vehicles have different wrap demands than regular cars. Not only do they take more physical abuse, but they’re often photographed and filmed under varying light conditions — and sometimes even during night stages with artificial lighting.
Every panel was cleaned twice — once before wrap, and again mid-way through — to ensure no grit or leftover adhesive could cause bubbling or compromise bond strength.
A few things that made this job stand out:
And best of all? The Evo came out of the workshop looking brand-new — but still like it belonged in the dirt.
There were a few very specific hurdles:
Through all of that, the end product looked clean, aggressive, and made to last.
