People with wrapped cars

[kambites]

I think a really deep, vivid purple on that would be lovely.

Yellow is good too, though.

I looked at purchasing a wrapped car, so asked the seller some questions, and was told the following:

How happy have you been with the wrap?

Also got a couple of Q's:

1. What sort of warranty guarantee is there/should you expect on the finish and more importantly on how it lasts, such as not peeling or bubbling?

2. How does wrap fair being outside 24/7?

3. Does it stay nice an shiny? I presume it's not something you can polish?

2. Previous owner had it for a year up in Scotland and it was still on, even with their weather.

'their weather'? You do realise that Scotland is over 200 miles North to South? The weather in Dumfries is just a little bit different from Thurso...

thought about wrapping my car myself. but i can get it resprayed for 7-800 quid :/ probably not worth spending 200 quid on materials then a weekend to have it look like i stuck it on with pritstick

£700-800 seems pretty cheap for a full respray and colour change tbh. What sort of finish would it be?

Is it for your camaro?

something like this would be good IMO

Yeah it is.

Is that Hugger Orange? Cool colour I admit....

I was thinking along the lines of this, but could be swayed to orange.

wow talk about being torn... hugger orange is great BUT that yellow <drool>

[jbi]

I would go for either in a heartbeat.

The orange reminds me of my days playing gran-turismo as a kid... so has a special place in my heart.

Do uou have to tell the DVLA and insurance?

Also, do wraps cover areas like door shuts?

[Hudson]

It's not permanent so IIRC you don't need to tell the DVLA, don't quote me on that though


I saw (online) a Mondeo ST220 done in Focus ST orange, looked really good imo

No experience, but a more pertinent question may be what is the paint like after the wrap has been removed?

Done properly, it should be absolutely fine.

As you can see, it's been shorn of its stunning metallic purple wrap. Creative FX of Bromley did a great job in removing the wrap and, as they promised, the dual layer vinyl did an excellent job of protecting the Gun Metal paintwork which looks as good as the day it was covered up.
