Vinyl wrapping my whole car?

[aboo]

Most of you will know that I'm planning on getting my bonnet vinyl rapped to match my car. In the last week or so I'v been looking at some drift & tack cars with all the sponsor's plastered all over them.

I'v now been thinking of having something like this done to my car. I don't want company names all over it but something a bit different. Something that would stand out. I'm undecided & wanted some opinions to see what you guys think.

It might attract the wrong kind of attention Andy but it's up to you

Thought about that as well Peter. Was thinking more for the shows & something a bit different. Still undecided. Just throwing the idea out there to see what people thought.

Vinyl wrapping of any sort is sp wrong on many levels.

I been told i should Vinyl wrap my car if i am goign to matte black it. si i can peel it off when i sell it.

no bloody thanks. in for a penny in for a pound.

tl;dr version. Vinyl's are just plain tacky..

Obviously you havent seen one done correctly then!

Andy,

Even a simple colour change is easy! Check out Paul who detailed my Evo as he does Vinyl wrapping....his latest creation, a silver Range Rover into a white one!

And one of my mates brothers owns a franchise I'n Leeds of raccoon stuff have a look at there gallery and still say
wraps are crap plus the cost is half of a spray job and less time consuming.

That's pretty impressive Mike! I'm guessing that's cheaper than a re-spray but I can see issues with that level of wrapping.

Andy, I always liked the way Pete's JD car looked. As long as it's done right I'm sure it would look great.

Wow what does wrapping a whole car cost? Does anyone know?

Does the paint work suffer underneath ?

For those that don't know but you don't need to inform DVLA of the colour change simply because it's not permanent.

You would be looking in the region of £1000 - £1500 for an entire car...done correctly. Thats all trims, lights, handles removed to get correct edges etc. ANything cheaper expect to see edge lines on panel joints

The paintwork doesnt suffer underneath, removal is the same as application, all vinyl is heated up and falls off with aid of moisture etc.

I went to a demo day at PWPRo and so learned a few things, i can tell you its highly impressive operation to watch, Paul at PWPro wrapped an Evo bonnet during the demo...it was like factory new when finished!

[orionn2o]

Wow its very cool... 1500 is perhaps a little more than i'd wanna spend i think. but then hmmm i dunno!

Ahhhh keep going back to those links!!! I wanna wrap something now lol

Matt,

Paul does Evo's day in day out so could probably quote accurately over the phone! Tell him Mike (irish) sent ya lol

Andy, I'm with the race look idea but not wanting company names could make a race look difficult, how about taking a leaf out of the top gear book and make up some "interesting" company names of your own. Have been toying with the idea of a Relentless car seeing as EVERYONE does Monster! Plus Rentless logo is a bit more interesting

I will possibly look into this Mike, need to get my monster back on the road first!

[orionn2o]

Andy, I think the conclusion to this thread is that YES you should wrap your car. And you should do it as soon as possible so we can see the results.

Fancy something like this http://www.sjsdesign.com/large/Storm2.jpg Saw this one at Japfest 2 years ago & thought it looked good.

Great links guys. There is a really good place up here that do the vinyl wrapping. http://www.vinylcut.co.uk/id21.html. They'v gave me a price for the bonnet but think I will talk to them about the whole car to see what ideas they come up with
