Message: <blockquote data-quote="ICEMAN 68" data-source="post: 550374" data-attributes="member: 17">quoted from a forum about such item ..a good read IMHO "For you guys who are interested, you can source vinyl like this at any sign shop (I personally work at FastSigns, there's 500 across the US so they're very easy to find). There are hundreds of colors, specialty patterns and effects and qualities you can pick from. Just measure each piece individually (Extra is ALWAYS better) and have an overestimated total when you are pricing it out. Keep in mind that wrapping is not by any means a solution in place of a paint job, it is just an alternative. It WILL get nicks in it, and at the very very best of conditions you will get a 5 year life out of it, while 1-2 years is more common. Removal also becomes increasingly difficult past this point. Go with a "cast" vinyl, not "calendered", and this is very important as a cast vinyl will be much more forgiving when installing. Also, if you have any freshly painted parts, you need to wait 30 days minimum for the paint to outgass properly. If you don't, when you remove the vinyl you will be taking all that paint with it. "arggh for rm18K spent ...i don't mind sending in my car for a paint work every 2 years once for a 10 years span ... well individual preference i would say ...</blockquote>
