Vinyl Wrapping

[Pistol Pete]

Anyone had it done?

Saw a bmw on the detailingworld forum that went from Black to white, looked quite good,

 

[JD]

More for show and more money than it's worth IIRC fella. Not worth it on a clio

 

[Waitey]

I'd love to have the Z3M done in it. White please.

My good friend Bryan from Drive 'n' Shine has started offering this in the Godstone area.

I spoke to him today and he keeps offering to do my car - what do you think about a candy white 182 Trophy?

What sort of price? White would be bad. Viper green, would be incredible!

 

[JD]

Ha, how much Mat?

 

[Ali]

I'm getting a few bits done soon!

Viper green is probably the colour i'd go for tbh.

[Ali]

[edgeydt50]

you think so? i love it. Would cover up my red rarri with it though. Headlights look pish

 

[Jaff]

I'd love to have the Z3M done in it. White please.

please dont, i see a white z3 every morning on the way to work, i just does not suit that colour at all, makes it look even more dated.

 

[StevenMc29]

Dont think that rari suits white. Looks a good job though

oops! Missed that!

I think White is tacky. Horrible on a ferrari! Red/Yellow or Black. Done.

Fine Orange then. Anything to save me having to polish the red anymore lol

 

[Ed]

I might get mine done Orange! It Depends on how much its doing to cost!

 

[Gally]

That 360 isn't my cup of tea, especially the headlamps!

Who doesn't want a red Ferrari!

 

[whatisjustis]

So what happens come the time you want to give the car a detail? How does vinyl wrapping fair with the elements?

 

[richy22]

Read the thread on Detailing World dude ^^^^

the guy goes through that it can be detailed fine

 

[Sean.]

seen it done on a skyline, looked awful!

 

[ChrisPearson]

I don't see the point of this?surley it's not much more for a respray

 

[Keano]

u can remove the vinyl without damage. To restore value when selling for example.

And yes its considerably cheaper than a respray

 

[ForceIndia]

A lot cheaper than a respray, and protects the paint underneath.

 

[Nik.g]

well people with too much money always wants a change i guess.. if your loaded and have too much money in the bank, i think some people restort to do stupid things.. But i kinda like the ferarri in White..

 

[Ex-User (19928)]

For a personal car... I wouldn't.

The 330d here is wrapped white with company decals on it, it's got a few chips from motorway pebbles and one has gone down to the metal, that means wrap off, paint cleaned, damage repaired, new vinyl on.

We also had some lads in to do a customer's 996 Carrera in white (it was blue). It looks good, but it's just been done, and when it gets damaged then it'll have the same problem.

Alright if you have some money you want to get rid of though. (Takes a while to take off too, so it's no good for bank jobs either).

 

[Tyssen]

Looks pretty awesome imo and very clever

It's not actually a vinyl wrap per say, it's real paint in a stretchable wrap hence why it can be detailed, They're testing this new system before they start chargin the earth for it.

Its not a vinyl in the conventional sense its BASF car paint with some magic ingredients that allow it to be stretched up to 15% (stretching dry paint who would have thoght it) it has a 2mill clear coat and in paint correction terms you are safe to play with a quarter of that (more than enough for several cutbacks during correction).

He also states that it would also be an advantage to apply the PPF to area's prone to stone chips.

If i had the money for this i would deffo be gettin it done.

360 looks the bizzo, but the crema seats dont go with the white

 

[IGotAClio]

Got a quote on my x-type for £1600 for an white/black wrap all over.. thought it would be much cheaper,


For that price I can do a 4 day course for £1000 on car resprays and then do the actual job myself.
