yea, the place is located in enfield. Peak graphics. If your untested I can pm you his number. Did a phenomenal job. You can see it I. Person if you would like.

 

Very nice indeed. Outrageous $$$$&& for painting a Corvette. Great alternative, here on the island, wraps are popping up. Near me is a wrapping place, CTS Caddy is Hot Wheels Gold, like a mirror. I need to look at it close up though, my white is fading one side, may have been repainted or original doesn't shine much. It's been like that 11 years, it's all good, w white you gotta be up close to tell.

 

Looks great!

 

I like it, good job.

 

http://www.pearlsandpigments.com/home.php, take a look at this place in Houston, since you're in Texas. I'm talking about the auto-flex, not the plasti-dip. I've seen his work in person and it's fantastic, I think, but not sure if he was the first doing the plasti-dip. The auto-flex looks and feels just like a paint job, and can be repaired easily enough if damaged. By the way OP, your car looks fantastic.L8R ZFLASH

 

Looks good. Sounds like ya gotta decent deal too.

 

Please do, Ty.

 

Looks great! Love the combo you chose.

I wanted to chime in because I do this for a living. We are more of a large/wide format boutique company that specializes more on the Corporate side of things. Because of this,we do a large amount of wraps on semi's, cars, buses, box trucks, etc.

There are 3 reasons why a wrap will outlast other wraps:
1. Quality of vinyl
2. The install
3. The actual printer (This is called a "color change" vinyl and is pre-printed. If it is printed, like the attached picture, on our latex printer then the wrap will hold up longer than if it is printed on our solvent printer).

If it is 3m (over Avery, Orafol, or Arlon) you will easily get 3 years out of it if it is sitting out in the sun all of the time. But keep in mind matte vinyls don't last quite as long in the sun. The most important factor besides the 3m quality is the actual install. That is what makes a world of difference in holding up.

To give an example, I attached a picture of one of our clients. This wrap was installed a little over 4 years ago and this vehicle sat in direct sunlight all of the time. If you stood back 10 feet you would not have a clue it was not new. The roof and hood were the only real noticeable areas that had started cracking over time. Don't let the pastels fool you. Their marketing department designed the wrap and those colors are still in the same great shape as when we printed them.

As I said, the quality of the vinyl, the printer that produced the wrap, and ESPECIALLY the install are what kept this looking great for as long as it did. We just uninstalled and installed a new wrap for 2 of their fleet vehicles last weekend.

If anyone ever has a need for their business or their car and has any questions about the vinyl industry or any of this I would be happy to answer them. You would be blown away by what can be done.

FYI...that is a FANTASTIC price for that wrap and install...

 

I think it looks frickin' awesome. I'm not a red fan much so you should paint it that way permanent. j/k. Or am I?

 

Thanks for for your input. The film used was KPMF I believe. It was an air release film. They were the ones hat offered this color.

 

Very nice.

 

It's 2017 how are people so naive on vinyl wraps?

 

thanks everyone.

Looks great - the night time pictures even more.

 

 

Looks great. I love how you had the hood done and how they covered up every bit of the Red. For the amount of work done and the quality of the work I think that the price was very good..

 

Looks great.

 

Looks great and a nice price too. As far as removal is concerned; I think it all depends on how it was applied. The company I work for recently went through a large rebranding project and had to have some of our vehicle wraps removed so new ones could be applied. In some cases the previous installers used some type of permanent adhesive which made removal a total nightmare and damaged the underlying paint.
In other cases, mostly our hotter locations like Arizona, the paint below showed signs of burning underneath the vinyl.

 

Thanks guys, I love how it came out. As far as removal, the car is garages so I'm really not concerned.
