Wrapping my Griff...
Discussion
Due to let downs, by TWO painter friends of ours, I've decided to go for a vinyl wrap!
Also, with my Son starting Uni on Monday, I'll have to 'Sponsor' him, until he gets a job...I now can't afford a £3k+ paint-job, so a grand for a wrap sounds brilliant, considering that the interior trim is still to come, and all the other 'little' extras, that soon add up...
My dilemma is; should I stay with tradition, or go with a Matte finish?
I will probably have it painted in a year or two, anyway...

Check out his website..the finish on the cars is superior than vinyl wrap, plus he's done plenty of TVRs
He's in Essex, and my body is off the chassis...The wrappers are around the corner from me...it's a case of logistics - transport, time, etc., = No contest...Edited by hillclimbmanic on Saturday 1st October 17:07

Is this the finish HCM above is talking about for c£1,000 ?
If it is then I might pop in one day for a look at a few examples and a chat. The finishes look excellent in the videos and photos but would still want to see them in the flesh so to speak to be 100% sure it was a viable option.
On a linked not how easy is it to remove the covering if you ever wanted to go for a full re-spray in paint ?

...now I have a problem with the interior...I planned for black and tan leather, and have already paid for the leather..!
Now, I don't think the combination, with the red and gold flip, will work...
Black is an obvious(but boring) choice...Has anyone seen a red and gold flip with a different interior Colour?
Or, any Suggestions? My trim guy has suggested Bentley Chocolate Brown...

Is it because they're wrapping the Griff rear to front? The reason I ask is that I've got clear armourfend over the front of mine & it's 1 piece.
Interesting...Do you have a Photo? coco79 said:
I did recommend avoiding vinyl wrap!! I would get your money back and go for a plastidip/fulldip..
The overall effect is absolutely Stunning! I negotiated a cheaper price, and all it means is that I will have the car painted sooner, rather than later.Apparently, they have another Griff booked in...If you're reading this, ask about any joins.!!

Could you post some pictures of the Griff all wrapped?
I am interested in getting this done too and a little worried about whether it is the best route to go down.
Thanks.
I don't have it back yet! Click onto the Auto wrap link on my earlier post, on page 1, and click 'Portfolio'...it's on thereI am interested in getting this done too and a little worried about whether it is the best route to go down.
Thanks.

Looks great. And for the money it's well worth it. Where are the joins - I'm guessing inboard of the headlights somewhere - looks fine in the pic, maybe not 110% perfect up close, but then you haven't seen the state of my paintwork.
It looks awesome close up, Andy...It's only the joins that bother me, and under close scrutiny, there are some minor flaws...But it sure 'pops' in the sunlight.!! Gassing Station | Griffith | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
