Basically I'm going to be wrapping my Tamora, as it will mainly spend its life on track.


I have a main school of thought - BMW art car. The one from 1976 (birth year) is the graph paper car, and instead of random shapes I'd want the TVR logo, AA logo, beer mugs (humorous stuff) in the design instead of abstract shapes.



The second (and third ideas) are to use the 2010 art car - one straight black, the other to use TVR racing purple as the base colour.



Would a wrap company be able to render designs to that kind of look? And are there any companies out there that people can recommend? Also, what kind of price would I be looking at for such a job.... I know how much a plain one costs, but this is different...
Many thanks in advance

In fact look after the MD's cars , i have seen some of their different wraps (printed style) which is what you are after.

Hi Don, whereabouts are you?

When you get prices get the brand and grade of film, you need prices like for like for the materials to compare, some wrap films are cheap and rubbish, others are expensive but very good, some suppliers say they are using high quality films and fit some cheap muck instead.

Not sure if Totally Dynamic have any outlets in your part of the country but have a search and see, they are good too and you'll get a comparative price but be sure anyone who quotes fully spec's what they are doing coverage wise and with what film too.

I looked at the company recommended and they do look like they do a good job, hard to judge wraps soon after their install, it's 3-12 months later that is the best time as some lift out in time, not so bad on cars as no recesses like we get on vans, some wraps on vans are heated in 50mm-75mm from the rest, cars you hardly need to heat it in anywhere.

Hope you get sorted and of course let us all see the results!

Try www.motormode.com in north Kent. They did my GTR and also do the cars for Top Gear Live. I'm pretty sure they can do what you're after and have more experience than most - I think they've been wrapping cars for about 15 years.

(I'm not affiliated with them in any way, just a satisfied customer)

If you had a car resprayed and a few weeks later applied a wrap, would the paint come off with it when removed after a few years? or would it come off revealing the perfect paintjob?
