Could try this...

It looks interesting. I've been thinking about trying it on my daughters clunker just to see how it works. Evidently, when you get tired of it, you just peel it off.

This is the last Chevelle I finished a couple weeks ago, and a 66 Mustang I am taking apart now. Monte if you decided to do it yourself get in contact with me and I will walk you through the easiest material to start with and the best equipment for the lowest price to start you off.

Just trying it once is how I got started!

I have never liked the wraps on anything but BMW's. I'm not a fan of matte paint, I got tired of looking at matte paint when I was younger and all the young kids had flat black cars because it was cool. (and because they "painted" their cars with rattle cans) Some wrap jobs look ok but I would personally never do it. Especially not myself...

Someone posted a link to Eastwood plastic dip system a month ago. Just a thought.
