Full car vinyl wrap - Page 2 - SRT Forums

boostingbackwards · 12-14-2012, 08:10 AM

Use code avsxmas to get 10% off new metallic colors, just got a email from AVS about their winter sale. Might buy some CF wrap to redo my carbon fiber trunk with. Mines got a lot of age on her, clearcoats given up the ghost almost.

Dirtiest Rims 2012 baby.

Wow you really can't tell at all! I am really going to have to read more on how to do that! Thank you so much for your help! I can't wait to give this a try. I will keep you up to date on my wrap.

Dang! That would be nice. This winter is all about getting the car stable. If I am lucky I can start my wrap this spring.

How long will this typically last? Really thinking about doing this... How much material will I need just to do the hood? I just want to see if I can do it first

x2 thinking the same thing... just want to start with a small section before tackling some thing big

btw that matte black looks great man

evobusa7 · 12-14-2012, 11:09 PM

plastic dip is faster

jtm0n3y · 12-14-2012, 11:27 PM

...and gayer

evobusa7 · 12-14-2012, 11:31 PM

looks the same, faster to remove also

jay05acr · 12-14-2012, 11:39 PM

Doesn't look the same AT ALL

jtm0n3y · 12-14-2012, 11:41 PM

A good vinyl wrap job looks legit.

boostingbackwards · 12-15-2012, 09:38 AM

Comparing the durability and long lasting properties of vinyl against plastidip is apples and oranges.
The day after I finished my vinyl my gf backed down the side of my car. You can't even tell, and my cars paint was perfectly protected. The only reason I knew she did it was my door wouldn't open because my fender was pushed into it.
3m last 4 years. Or 5 I can't remember.

Yea but you guys are comparing a professionally done vinyl wrap vs someone whos never done anything like it before in his garage , hell i know if I tried to do a vinyl wrap id end up going through 5 times as much vinyl trying to wrap the damn thing, not to mention the front bumper....

Yea it CAN look good, if done RIGHT

jay05acr · 12-15-2012, 02:51 PM

^it would still look better than plasti dip

SRT4Delta46 · 12-15-2012, 03:21 PM

So when you guys did this did you also put the vinyl wrap everywhere like the door inside to match the out?

Seems like a good way to change the color of my car.

SRT4kta · 12-15-2012, 03:25 PM

your matte black srt 4 with red rims is just perfection at its best!
