If the full wrap in any colour is £1200 i think its a bloody bargain

Bearing in mind, you pay circa £5000 for a decent respray, and eventually it will get a stone chip.

Stone chip on wrap,you just replace that section with another piece...perfect

So...Wrapping a Griffith?

I wouldn't recommend it...Because of the one-piece body, it makes a successful wrap, nigh-on impossible

I am going to run the car next spring with the wrap, but fully intend to paint it Metallic Black(the original colour), next winter lay up...

That's a shame, it looks awesome in the photos, presumably not so good close up?

Not sure who holds the plastidip rights if you read this. This company isn't so impressed with company in essex http://www.cardipuk.co.uk/car-dip-international-uk...
Hi just seen this. Yes, those guys do not like me, or facts it seems smile. They put all sorts of stuff on their site (personally I think it is so they get bumped up in google rankings cos they use my domain name in it). They do seem a very bitter bunch lol. Most of that blog is missquoted, false and or exaggerated.

Notice they said back in July 2015 they were going to make a video of their 'factory'. Well, the world still awaits smile.

As for PlastiDip rights, none here. It's simply a 'product' that is made in the USA, I import in bulk and simply resell. Same as DYC does in USA. Same as cd used to do. I still do PlastiDip here, but I now prefer FullDip. I haven't used PlastiDip on a customer or one of mine for near on a year now. I try every single product that gets released, all the Asian ones, Elastiwrap, Racer, Mibenco, Raail, Halo, P1, Cardip / AF to name a few. The only ones I sell, are ones I am prepared to put on my own cars.

I am guessing most of you have seen my Sag at TVR events, it's currently stock colour again and will be done again soon. I just use the Tamora a lot more now for demo's etc as its smaller and uses less material and easier to do. Plenty other TVR's out there we done. Only one problem so far and he is on here. The colour seemed to go bad, but I am working with him and going to fix that up in a new colour smile.

Few pics of the Sag and Tamora in various colours here;

The last colour coming off;


And all off (tiny bit above manifolds still left) But good as new smile


As someone else mentioned, unless I was 100% happy with products I sell, I would not let near the Sag at all!

Anyone can feel free to pop over and see something sprayed or being sprayed no problem. The benefits to this over a wrap are the fact you get no joins, no shrinkage and no-one is pressing a razor blade on your paint when they are trimming the vinyl.
