Matt black vinyl is a lot cheaper than carbon! Carbon wrap vinyl IS NOT CHEAP!

I guess I was just looking at cheap quality stuff when it came to the vinyl.  It was a lot of fun, in a frustrating way.  I wanna do my whole car now.  Hahaha.

They're the prices I meant earlier, i got just under twice that of the matt black 3M for what I paid.

I've not found anything that says it is damaging.  Having seen the old royal mail vans that have been sold off and the vinyl lettering taken off, the paint that had been underneath actually looked in better condition than the paint that had been open to the elements.

It does or should not damage the paint underneath if it is sound however when I removed the chequer roof I had you could see the squares as the uncovered paint faded a little and no amount of polish / cutting back would remove it,
