Default Vinyl Wrap question.

I'm planing on wrapping my S soon and I was wondering what the recommended length of vinyl is. I'm looking at this wrap currently. Holographic Chrome Black - Concept LMTD. – The VViViD Shop

wow thats like double the cost of regular vinyl... 60 ft should be plenty. If you're DIY then extra might be helpful. Plus I'm guessing that stuff going to be a PITA for a first timer. good luck, post pics when you're done.

Great choice on brand, I wrapped my car with vvivid vinyl very forgiving to work with. Now mine wasnt the chrome, so I am not to sure about how easy that is to apply. It is a good idea to buy extra vinyl incase you mess up on a panel. Good luck and hope you have lots of time lol

I don't really have the time to do so, so I'm probably gonna have it done. The wrap is pretty costly too so i don't want to screw up. Do you mind posting a picture of your car?

Ya it can be costly if you mess up a lot. This was my first time wrapping and I only messed up on the front bumper, I had to do it twice. You can defiantly do it yourself if you have someone to help you out.
I still might attempt to wrap the s2000 next year, but for now we just did the type r.

Turtles where are you located? There is a reputable vinyl shop (the owner stands behind his work) in Northern Jersey called Elite Vinyl Design. He also has an S2000.

i recently just wrapped my S, and i ordered 5x60ft with some to spare. Back bumper is a pain to wrap, front bumper you can get away with doing 2 sections. dont forget to order primer, edge sealer, a good squeegee and proper gloves.

What do you need primer for? I could see needing it for an unpainted panel, other than that, I have never heard anyone mention that.

I know prep work is important when wrapping your car, do you guys recommend waxing before applying the vinyl?
