Car magazines. Car forums. Put some flyers up in local garages.

Don't do mate's rates, freebies or cheap work on the promise of bigger and better jobs in the future.

Where to advertise?

Car shows - take along some examples of your work.

Local papers - tend to be the first place a lot of people look

Web site - don't mess around with GoDaddy and crap like that, get a site built properlyy (drop me a PM if you like). Do not rely on a Facebook page - it's amateur hour.

Local radio - not always as expensive as you think and VERY effective

eBay - list your services as items with a buy it now price. Just about allowed under their terms and conditions but word your ads carefully.

Car magazines, other forums etc, etc

What are the benefits of vinyl wrapping?
How much does it cost?
Is it easy to fix if it gets scuffed?
Can it be removed?

To answer your questions in order

Allows for custom graphics whilst maintaining the car's original paint when you come to resell

Costs vary but about half the price of a respray.

Yes, you just wrap the affected panel again

Yes
