why paint when you can wrap

[Kerrath]

Here's a hint. When you're reading something on the internet, look at the date it was created. If it's older than 3 days, it's a repost.

Another good rule, if you yourself are going to post it, just assume everyone's seen it 12 times before, because we have.

If everyone followed your 'rule', nothing would ever get posted.

Also, anyone else notice the irony in the fact that people get flamed for reposts, yet people feel the need to repost 'respost' like twenty times? What the fuck.

Easy there flatbrim, don't piss your pants again.

That would be marvelous.

I think this is pretty cool. I would love to have it done to my car.

How much is it? One of you said expensive, but how much?

Ask Charlie, he knows every post that has been on here and it's contents. He's kinda like Jesus.

I agree too that people get too worked up about reposts. get a life.

back to the vinyl wrap question. My E30 race car has a checker flag paint job that was very labor intensive. If it ever got munched, we'd do something different. The running joke has been if you're going to wreck the car, wreck the front end.

Anyway, with vinyl wrap technology what it is now, we can do a vinyl wrap of the checker flag design rather than actual paint. A local quote I got was $1,400 to do the back half of my E30 (from the B pillar back).

The front half would just stay the white of the alpine paint job.

most wrap jobs cost more than a decent paint job

it's only cost-effective if you are wrapping the car with printed graphics like the flag Lance Racing is talking about.

Or premium advertisements like this:

Jon speaks the truth, I wrapped my E30 only because it was a pretty complicated design that I couldn't do with paint. If you want a color change paint is the way to go.

I spent more time creating the design than applying it (and it wasn't a slow process.)

it works good on race cars like stated above.
i used to work on an early 911 race car that was owned by the owner of a sign shop. he had the shops name and sponsors names incorporated as well as some simple graffics. it worked out really well for him and he could write it off on his taxes as an advertising expense.

it looks really good from 10 feet away, it is NOT shinny like paint though.
