Vinyl wraps and durability

[AndySuperSport]

Hi all,

About to buy a new weekend car (used) and sadly the vast majority of them are silver, which is a colour I'm just not fond of.

I have thought about having a professional wrap done, just a one metallic colour e.g. metallic blue.

Does anyone have any first hand experience of a full wrap? Are they durable? How bad do stone chips appear over time?

I have a garage for storing the car so hopefully fading won't be a massive issue.

Lastly I'm based on the border of Cambridgeshire/Bedfordshire so if anyone has any recommendations please PM me.

Cheers

Andy

I work for a wrapping company up north, vinyl is quite similar to paint in terms of durability, it chips slightly less than paint.

It all depends on the skills of the wrapper and the materials they use, we see some horrendous wraps from other companies.

Do some research on a potential wrapper near you and ensure they are 3m approved.

Thanks for that I've found a few in the relatively local area so I'll query the 3M approval with them.
