It is a butt fit, no overlap. With a second film the location of the film butt can be masked with a graphic element rendering it nearly impossible to see. Film on paint is strong; film on film (second layer) is even stronger.

I will see if I can get some pictures of it.

Good question, thank you.

Dave looking great. what size tires do you have on it.

Mickey Thompson 295/50-R15 front and rear.
David

Looks great!

How about rim dimensions?

I hope you didn't take my "budget" remark wrong, I mean that it appeared to me you desired wrap over paint meaning you saw pros to it,

Can it go over primer?

How long will it last?

Many thanks!

can they match the paint that is on the car .I want to wrap the new front and rear rubber bumpers.

Rim dimensions are 10" Wide X 15" Diameter with 4" offset.
My understanding is you cannot put it over primer, it needs something to adhere to and primer does not have the proper surface tension.
Depending upon thickness and use you can get 5-10 years life out of the wrap. There are various types of vinyl that can be used for the wrap. The real strength to a wrap is over new paint as a protective coating. I should have considered something like this on top of my new paint job on Sparty. All but eliminates stone chips.
Hope that helps.

Helps and hurts,

I love your rims and finally know I will be happy with the 295 50's all around and it will work and fit...win

I will be in primer, mike and tommy damaged way too much of my car for it not to be primed so I guess a wrap isn't gonna happen for me:(

Could easily shoot some cheap paint over the primer and then have it wrapped bats?

That is a question I cannot answer. You will have to contact a wrap company to be able to get that answer. Sorry.

Corvette Forum?!?! :yesnod:

Hey Bats, you may want to check with someone who specializes in car wraps. Sign shops have different standards.
Actually, I would call Geek Wraps in Ft. Lauderdale and ask.

AFAIK, you can apply vinyl wrap on a lot of surfaces, but for a car, I am sure you want it to be as flawless as possible. I read in one of the vinyl wrap forums a while back, someone recommending spray bombing the primer with clear, in order to provide better adhesion. Not sure if this is correct and again, a vinyl wrap pro can most likely answer that question.

Here's a video (only the first couple of minutes show a C3, of all things) of a car being wrapped.

It's truly fascinating to see how they can literally sculpt the vinyl so it conforms to complex surfaces.

As far as life/durability, I think both 3M and Avery have 5-year warranties, but that may be for printed vinyl, so that's something else to ask Geek Wraps. Or they can give you contact info for an installer near you. (954) 783-3117.

Seven Wraps is a specialty wrap company only, they are not a sign shop. If you want to check with Brian at Seven Wraps he can answer any questions you would have on warranties, etc. He can be reached at Brian@SevenWraps.com and he is the partner/owner.

Thanks it is an option I have to look into more, there are some stunning results

Probably not, but thanks for the thought.

This all is a bit deer in headlights for my brain right now, ac34me's car is so darn stunning, his build is very much what I am going for except his is pristine I want mine to have a patina look like the hot rod guys who air brush or wrap pseudo rust on their fenders,

As far as sponsor labels for me goes, I have hit companies many times and they will normally jump right on it and send you free decals it is after all free advertising for them, coker tires used to send you a cool tire key chain just for asking.

And I had a few ask if I would have interest in an advertising wrap,
I was way too far from a running car to consider it, and I would have to at the very least use or support a product that's plastered on my car

but when I am closer I will see who has interest, it's surprising what they will just give you when you ask the right person....:thumbs:

Company I saw video on (not sure if same material/quality as the people David has chosen, but they advertised as doing a wrap on a late model Rustang in single color for $600.

David, it was not my intention to put the quality of work done by Seven Wraps down, and I apologize if that's how my comment appeared to you. I was only trying to give Bats a Florida contact.

As I mentioned in a previous post...
