Default Vinyl Wrap in So Cal - Anybody want to do it with me?

How much does it normally cost to vinyl wrap our cars?

I heard 3M 1080 is the best. I want to make my car gloss white. I'm planning to leave the roof and halo black.

Any advice or ideas?

Whereabouts in SoCal? I know a spot in Anaheim DI Autosports, great quality and customer service that can do wraps. I'm sure if multiple people wanna do it, a great rate can be negotiated. I wanna do mine a gunmetal grey full body. Right now the shop is working on a vinyl stripe design for me.

I used a guy in Kearney Mesa. He used XPel, although the new 3M is supposed to be most improved from their old crap. It was $1800 for the front of the car and the mirrors. He did a magnificent job. It is 2 years old and still looks like new.

I'm in Pasadena. How much do you think it will cost to do my car gloss white minus the roof and halo.

Thanks!

I know a great one in Chino CA 91710, and I'm going to do the whole car wrap too, maybe we can go together and get some discount for 2 cars!

Wow, what happen? Did you use the 3M or any better wrap? Did it took off your original paint?

Dont know the brand even with a little heat it was a nightmare honestly walked away from it, not sure what the owner did. Was told it would come right off no problem right heard he got a new paint job never followed up on it.
Had a nice graphic job, he def spent some $ on it. That was my only hands on exp other than he said she said stuff .Dont want a 2nd hope yours is better.

I know of a great company In santa clarita, ca. They've done a lot of movie cars and race cars and they have a great reputation for 5 star work.
I can get the info if you need it.

Default Premier Auto Armour - Corona

Call Nick (Premier Auto Armour) at 951-415-7992 and talk with him about your job. He's non-pressure and does a fantastic job. Check his business out on Yelp. He wrapped my 427 and people are amazed it has paint protection. He does exotics and Corvettes. Highly recommend.

Read in another forum that XPEL is the best for wrapping. Comes with a 10 year warranty.

Xpel and Suntek are both widely used and regarded as best. Xpel does have a 10 year warranty and Suntek has a 5 year warranty. Xpel has a slight orange peel texture compared with the Suntek, but Suntek,tends to look more clear than Xpel.

You cannot go wrong with either of them.
