Vinyl Wraping

[Mark]

I have some minor sun fading and scratches and paint chips here and there that the previous owner didnt mind obviously, but every time i wash my car i see the blemishes and it kills me.

I have looked into vinyl wrapping before, and it looks like a fun project to try out. If people are interested, ill try to take pics to do some sort of diy specific to a 02 coupe. Has anyone experimented with wrap before? And i have an idea for what color im going with, but any input for nice colors on our cars is much appreciated.

This project should be starting soonish, and then take a break till mid to end of april when it will get finished.

I think there's a couple people with wraps...

Isn't it still pretty pricey?

I do vinyl on the side. Do you know what materials you are looking to use? I buy rolls at wholesale and have a bit of knowledge on this topic. Let me know if I can help.

I would look at this for material http://www.uscutter.com/Vehicle-Wrapping-Cast
Good product still expensive but they make the best vinyl in my opinion. whatever you do make sure it is a cast vinyl.

And as far as pricing goes I buy at wholesale. I don't do vehicle wraps but I could get you a better deal on the materials.
