People with wrapped cars

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?

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

Not fussed tbh, the paint isn't great now. So wrapping would be instead of painting it.

Ahh I see, you may get some nasty wrinkles / lumps if the paint is really bad?

The car has been keyed down one side just general wear and tear/stone chips at the front. If wrapping is a viable option I don't mind rubbing down these area's first to remove imperfections on the surface.

Is it me or do most wraps tend to be on a certain subset of cars, Audi Q7's, GTR'S and certain exotics, they always seem a bit obvious, anyone got a car that isnt in that list that looks subtle and factory, i.e. isnt a Matte white Q7 on black 22 inch rims ?

Well mine is none of the above. Although subtle it ain't and I'm wanting it wrapped in bright yellow (or maybe purple). Really detest matt black.

I think wrapping is a good idea but I suppose it comes down to cost at the end of the day. I've seen wraps quoted at £500 up to £2000!

Yeah me too. Found a place local that would want circa £1000 to wrap the car vs £4000-5000 to paint it. If it would last more than a couple of years I think it'd be worthwhile vs painting.

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.

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?
