How is it working out cost wise compared to a full respray in that colour and how durable is it going to be.

I'm curious on this also...
It's a shame how much wrap appears to get wasted on certain parts but I suppose that's the price you pay to avoid any splits or joins.
Looks fantastic though and the finish of the job looks spot on in the pictures...
I think its similar in cost price to spraying, but to get a spray job done right, you a booth and equipment. For wrapping you need a squeegee and a heatgun. Both are labour intensive and so that is where the cost is, so doing it myself means its much cheaper than getting it sprayed! With spraying you can have a terrible job or an awesome job whereas wrapping can only be so good. You'll never get it as good as an expensive respray but it looks great still and is cheaper.
It is quite durable, rated for 5 years weathering. We'll see how it fairs up!
Thanks guys
SICK SICK SICK! I have definitely gotta come see this when its done
Haha nice one dude, should try get to our meet sunday!
Whats the proper way of looking after a wrapped car in regards of keeping it clean, shiny etc?
Keeping it clean, just use soapy water. They do have a vinyl wax I was told, helps remove surface scratches but its not really necessary. The 5 year rating is based on just the vinyl itself. I'll just be keeping it clean stop dirt from getting under the edges.
