Title: vinyl wrap...how hard ?
Post by: matg340 on 19 August 2011, 06:21

heya folks

Looking at putting some vinyl on my bonett due to it being badly stonechipped ,

Just wandering if any of you guys have had a go yourself,s and if so how hard is it ?

Im quite competent normally at stuff like this and the vinyl can be gotten very cheap off ebay ect ect just wondered if anyone can give me a few pointers ?

Or is it not worth the hassle and best left to a pro ? any info is welcome folks
Cheers Mat

I have put loads of inside my car, around the radio/door handles etc and found it very easy to work with. Never put it on an exterior part. However there are loads of guides on how to on youtube etc. You can also get some dead cheap on ebay, i picked up 1000x600 for £6, and it seems to be quality stuff. Be sure to some snaps up if you do!
