Vinyl Wrap

Considering Doing my car in Vinyl Wrap. Tired of scratches and swirls. Its about $600-800 for the vinyl to wrap the whole car. You can get any color and add designs to it etc.

Whats your opinions or thoughts..

Thinking maybe a matte black like this http://www.stancenation.com/2010/06/12/2509/

Or maybe another color. I can change the color every few years since its not that bad in price. Also I can add designs

Or even something like this check this out found it on Stance nation.



No swirls anymore thank god. Also up keep I would imagine being a lot easier than paint no wax or sealants etc.

600-800 sounds too cheap.
It's usually 3x that amount.

why do you need any of that? I wrap lots of things its really not that hard at all. Its mostly just patience with it.

This guy wrapped his G matte black looks to be in his garage and he said with 0 experience

Matte White??? A Matte Metallic Blue could possibly look good, if it were something along the line of the 03/04 CB.

I think the graphics look awful so unless you are advertising i wouldn't go with lots of graphics.


where are you buying your vinyl? I need to get some clear bra for my headlights...

looks cool, but how long does vinyl usually hold up, esp against the weather?

Problem I have seen with vinyl is that after a while with the sun exposure and all, it will start to crack and look like crap while being like one of those stickers that only a little comes off at a time.

But I am not sure if the higher quality vinyl do that.
