you can get any finish you want. the options are pretty much endless.

price will vary depending on your location and material used, my car cost $1900 but it also included all the door jambs, engine bay, behind the fenders, and any area the red could be seen.

The car looks great. And the cost for the wrap was very good IMO.

$1900 is a great price considering the overpriced paint jobs that dont look any better.

Wow!!! I like it! Seems to be a viable alternative to very expensive paint. I wondering how it holds up through time, weather, sun exposure etc? Well, it looks great, good luck with your new finish and best wishes!

Vinyl will yellow. It can also be chipped etc. It will come off easy enough if not left too long or out in the weather a lot. $1900 is really small amount for this job.

i was was told to expect about 3 years if it sits outside in the sun and elements but since my car is garage and not used often I should expect much more life out of it.

Vinyl is a a great alternative to paint if you can find a good installer. $2k is way better then 8-15k for paint. A huge plus is if you ever get any damage like rock chips or scraps that you can just redo the one panel that is damaged and it will always match perfect.


Quick Reply: new look, vinyl wrapped.
