I'll give him 500 notes for it and take a chance.
"This car is worth double in parts" if you can get free labour to strip it, find somewhere to store the bits for free and hopefully you can sell all the parts from it (one day (if they're anygood)) |

Personally, I wouldn't touch vinyl wrap. The finish is nowhere near as good as an average paint job. It lacks shine.
And as for the paintwork underneath - a buddy of mine back in Boulder, Colorado had his 6-month-old Dodge Neon SR-T wrapped in Candy Blue vinyl. A year later, when it was removed, the Pearl Black paint underneath had gone a sickly grey - most of the lacquer was stuck to the vinyl. The leading edge of the hood, and front fenders were pretty bad - combination of highway stone chipping, and hot weather. In some spots, the bare metal was showing. Every car I've had a color change on, it's been done properly - stripped, painted, oven baked and re-assembled.

Here's the RS6 I had done in Pearl WHite. It is actually Grey underneath. I have to say, it looks great in the flesh - just have to be very careful, as stated, edges do tend to frey, especially if the wrap is put on in bits rather than in one sheet.
Looks the part though! Another good thing.... it got scratched on driver's side rear door - a quick trip to Racoon's and good as new. No long paint repair or lasting damage. Last edited by Just_Ben; 14th November 2011 at 08:24 PM. |
