Nose job !

[Olly]

Most of you won't know that I run a vinyl wrapping company.

Someone has approached me asking for idea's on how to cover stone chips with something to hold off the inevitable respray.

The problem? is that the Cerb in question is Yellow..... I'm coming up blank, other than having a greyscale union jack draped over the area's that need covering up - anyone got any bright ideas ?

Thanks

Why cant it be done with a clear wrap - mines is....

[Olly]

It can - they idea of this wrap it to hide the pebble dashed nose, rather than having it resprayed...

Cost saving exercise (and an excuse to be different ?).

I have been toying with the same idea, only the whole car done 'special' as opposed to just the front.. Problem is the heat from the bonnet, it shrinks vinyl.

I never thought the bonnet to transfer that much heat. Fiber glass is quite an effective insulator compared to metal. I have never noticed the bonnet being all that hot TBH it is much warmer on any steel car i have owned.

Can't you match the yellow?

It is, but I have an Aluminium Bonnet....

Ah that is a rare thing, do you have any Information on it and why has your Cerb got one? Any Pictures of it.

I remember this Griff being on Le Surrey run 2007 to Champagne. So could go for a AJP bursting out!

Heat doesn't shrink vinyl (well, not good quality vinyl), it will make it go rubbery, and in prolonged heat (getting the surface of the vinyl to over 100 degrees c) will eventually burn holes in it. Never heard of any issues of it shrinking with heat on car though?

I went to a place in Germany (CFC) last year, and they took the temperature of the bonnet after a nice Autobahn blast.. they said the Vinyl would shrink deform and lift at the edges of the bonnet, therefore wouldn't do it.. might have had something to do with the Spitfire look I wanted...

Probably, need to change to an original bonnet to do..

Hi Olly... I have since phoned these people and left a message... I need a respray but am now going to ask about a complete vinyl wrap in either carbon fibre or matt metallic grey. My Cerb is currently silver so wouldn't be too far off.
I also live in Ashford... I think they can cut me a good deal being a new company!

[Olly]

These people are me !

Picked up your message late last night (I left my phone in the workshop) - I'll give you a call at a more sensible time of the day !
