baz_79 Posted April 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 they look good,How much would he charge to wrap a long wheelbase mercedes sprinter van?Lol...??Slight Change in size!!If i can remember i think he changed around £1300 + vat for the BMW?It was i really good job 2.. Some wraps are glossier than others.. This BMW was really hard to tell the difference from paint.. Basically It was a tuning Company Testing Parts on the track and it was to protect the paint from stonechips..I would have to ask him on a sprinter... Im guessing £2000 + Depending on Materials and Artwork i guess? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al3x kay Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 It would probably be plain one colour.although not sure, it's not for me it is for the Van we take to Le Mans.I'm thinking Luminous Pink at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al3x kay Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 Currently it is a dull Yellow (used to be quite bright)and I saw this and thought ooooh, but maybe a tad expensive just for le mans as it would have to be taken off afterwards as the guy needs to use it for work.

MattyB Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 I assume this doesn't damage the paint and is easily removable?Good idea really - saw a Black GTA that has been wrapped in white, leaving the roof and mirrors black. Looked ace, at least in the pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defcon5 Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 How is this stuff with regard to detailing? How do you look after it, just wash it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baz_79 Posted April 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 How is this stuff with regard to detailing? How do you look after it, just wash it?A good Wrap will be laminated. This is a clear coat of vinyl applied through a laminator onto your wrap before application. The laminate is Just as expensive as the wrap material but the finish is a lot better.. Deep gloss shine The laminate also stops the fading of the print when over time the wrap is pressure washed and any chemicals are used. You carnt polish the wrap but the laminate always keeps its shine anyways.. You just sponge over.. The laminate also helps when you come to removal.. If it isnt laminated it can come off in tiny bits!!Ive tried to explain the best i can and ive only learned all this after watching my best bud jim @ sticker fxBeware of cheap materials..!!! He has experimented with a number of products now.. Some of which come off over time and lift off etc..You get what you pay for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LINCOLNSHIRESLUPOGTI Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 (edited) Thinking slightly differently...Do they do totally clear wraps so that you can keep existing colour but protect the paint from chips etc? Also is the wrap stone chip resistant or it will get all torn on the front of the car and look rubbish very soon after fitting?I know you are all going to say Ventureshield, Armourfend etc but they look rubbish as you can see the edges of the film along the panels and they dont look right compared to polished paint as they reflect differently. I have something similar on the sills of my Lotus and after 15,000 miles and extreme care it has yellowed and chipped from stones...complete cr@p.

Alex_225 Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 I do find these quite intriguing, more so to see how the paint will come out once its been taken off! With regard to detailing them, by all accounts the good ones can be treated the same way as normal paint. Have heard you can machine polishe and wax them like normal. Also seen that you can also inflict swirl marks and scratches in the same way you can on paint too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melonman Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 How long does a wrap tend to last on a car? aaaaaand same as above, whats the condition of the paintwork after it is removed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
