I was going to check out a couple of local guy's today , didn't get to it. Will try on Monday. Some stuff is really out there and I would rather have one solid color. Have watched some how to videos and it looks like something I could do . lots of color choices on the E-bay
it's ok to butt heads, just don't do it with a butthead

I've seen guys do it in person, and even though I'm pretty good with applying large decals & chip protectors, I wouldn't want to try a wrap. They look pretty good, but like Al says, doesn't look as good as a cut & buffed paint job. I think the going price - depending of course on size, complexity, and difficulty - is around $2500 in my area. As I recall, it's very thin: so any dirt in the paint, ridges from stripes, etc will show through the wrap.

WAY cheaper than paint....Also don't look like paint Not if you do it yourself... good quality vinyl costs more than I pay for materials to paint

I've seen wraps that looked like an amateur wallpaper job, i.e. crap. I've seen it done by people who know how. I wouldn't try it on something I cared about, and I'm not afraid to try just about anything. Not worth it. Somethings are just better left to the pros while I spend time doing what I know.
I know some pretty good painters. I don't believe I would have a desire to do a wrap unless it was something specific for a sponsor or something I knew I was going to want to remove.
If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.
