Anyone had their Chim wrapped?

Wondering about prices and colours...............

TIA,

A change is as good as a rest Richard. At our age, we probably need a rest!

Apart from that I’m absolutely no help at all. I would’ve thought around £1000 –£1500 maybe .

Bacon, onions and mushrooms are nice in a wrap.

I would imagine the contours and curves wouldnt make It the easiest shape to wrap...

How about a peelable plasti-dip spray paint. Qbee has had this done a couple of times and, I think, is very pleased with the results

Mickey Mouse, Polish it
And it’s a great colour as is.

It could melt
Cigarette ash will damage it

The old Plastidip is a matt finish. It costs around £400-600 in. single colour, and they blend it into the door jams etc, so you don't get the under bonnet and door closures coloured unless you pay extra.

The newer Full Dip, which i had with the lacquer finish, will cost under £1000 for a plain colour. I went for a reflex colour and it was £1200 with lacquer and including the Steve Edwards roof.
My car is Starmist Blue underneath, so the blending in works pretty well. You would have more issues going from say yellow to dark green.

PS, it looks ok from a distance, and is pretty hard wearing and more resistant to stone chips than paint, but I have never managed to get as shiny a finish as paint would be. In theory it will just peel off when you want a change. You can always remove it with thinners if not.
