Hit & Run To full Vinyl Wrap
#47
Anywho, your car looks amazing. I would most definitely not tint the headlights. The car looks bright and rather striking as it is. Well done.

Do you think that price would be somewhat standard in bigger cities? Also are there plenty of color choices (I was thinking of a midnight purple)? How long was the process from start to finish and did all the trim pieces have to be removed. And the name of the place that did your job since it came out immaculate. Sorry for all the questions but I'm pretty damn excited about the possibilities for my chipped out 09.

That sounds very reasonable and the end result is awesome. Very cool to have a unique color and one that won't fall apart like the chitty factory paint.

it holds up very well the guy told me as long as i wash and wax it it will look like new the whole time i have it on and this week he is going to show me how to take out scrapes and stuff with a heat gun so that i can always make it look perfect.
You can wash and wax all the time

Some are also designed so it can still be easily removed after 3-5 years of the same kind of exposure. Other brands will require a release, while others clean-up after the vinyl is removed (due to residue).
Overall, your paint should remain intact that entire time, so it's like putting the existing paint condition in suspended animation.
I've been thinking about doing this for a while, but every shop i've been to wanted upwards of $3k for the whole car.

I recently started to research this ... this isnt THAT hard, specially if you have an idea of what your doing. materials and all you can spend like 200~$ and do it yourself if you have the time. Im thinking about doing it with my dad, slowly.
