vinyl for my roof!! I am seriously thinking of this....

[S7CYW]

Aren't there any Hammerite stockists in your area?

Mask it off and spray it over with satin Smoothrite for under £10.

I still think the paper bag option is the right route, to be fair.

yeh but paint is permanent and a vynal is removable if you get bored of it or think it lookes sh!t 

You can do a lot with vinyl mate and as you say its removable at the end of the day.

We did this for a guy whos timber company's colour is green.

how tough is it to stone chips? will he end up with all sorts of red marks up the bonnet to match his headlight washers?

[LazyLunatic]

pretty resistant m8. i dont think stone chips would be a worry, but if something does happen, you just replace the bit of vinyl as it is done in parts.

i want to respray my car, but i am thinking about doing a full vehicle wrap, but wasnt sure on colour, mayb greyish. Or mayb something wacky! Best get out the pantone book and start choosing!!!

Getting back on topic   

I think you should go with the 1 colour vinyl on the roof... same as the wheels with a satin finish!

You've given me all sorts of ideas for mine now! Black bonnet and black roof? with the black wheels?? hmmmm

[davero]

I agree with veedubclub, one colour would look cool

LL, what sort of price would you guys be looking at for a complete car wrap? Your in plymouth right?
And is price dependant on pattern?

a full car wrap would take a day or two, its quite intense and would be very expensive. Im not sure, because it would be like 10-15 hours labour and then quite a few metres of vinyl, your probs looking around £700-800

however thats full price, i can supply you the vinyl, which would be a full hundred and then talk to my m8 who works with me to do it. I wouldnt want to attempt it really, as i have never done it before. But of course my m8 would charge, but of course he would charge much less, as it would be a side deal. He's always looking for extra money lol! Oh and he good at what he does

So i guess materials would be a couple hundred, maybe less, and then whatever my m8 would charge.

As for patterns, it wouldnt really matter if it was cut out the vinyl, but if you have more colors the price would go up as you use more vinyl, but i would be able to give a better idea of price if you said exactly what you wanted.

Think a mix of my sig and:

you can have camo, using your car color and the color of the vinyl. So it will be a two color camo.
