yeah, but can you imagine if say his fender got a big dent, all he would have to do is buy a new fender and then vinyl that= matching paint!

I went to a local sign shop and asked them how much to wrap my tow vehicle. I couldn't believe he quoted my $3K to wrap it! My lil CRX is going to need a paint job as well. I think this is a very viable option. Can't wait to see your finished product.

The same way you clean any car. Wash it.

Props for the DIY.

Looks great! I got a sample of Oracal in the mail today. Now I need to pick a color. Thanks for the posts and the idea!

That looks really impressive. Nice work. Did you have to buy any special tools to apply the vinyl?

Wait, so if someone comes by and key's it or if youre driving down the freeway and a rock skips across it will it then have a decent "bubble?"/ tear in it? How do you repair that? Re-wrap the WHOLE piece again?

That looks awesome! I wonder how a color would look. I say that because wrapping my red hatch in white would match my CRX.

the white and black really pops, i like it.
however, i did paint my car for about $400 which included 2 new HVLP guns from ebay and paint materials from NAPA. probably the same amount of hours involved or less. just depends on how much you are willing to do yourself.
