Hey guys, I need your help in finding a good vinyl to purchase. I'm looking into wrapping my entire car in a color. Hoping to find materials under $400-500. Any ideas? I did search the threads but I'd like personal opinions on the quality of the material, etc.

Thanks!

Xoz, thats really awesome but its 4-5K for full custom wraps. I just want a simple color like black, white, or green.

 

yeh I know, my thoughts have gone off the idea of wrapping since researching, and discussions from that thread, but the 4-5k is mostly made up in having someone else do it.
interesting to find out the actual cost without the labor.

 

I've had someone point me in the direction of one that cost about $300 for the entire car, but I lost the link..

 

Do you have experience in doing this yourself? Because 500 in materials can easily triple when you keep ruining the vinyl attempting to put it on one panel.

 

^I'm a DIYer. I'd prefer to spend 1K on parts than 500 on labor and 500 on parts.

Theres a first time for everything, too. The only time I take my car in to get worked on is if I need a specialty tool that I can't afford such as a wheel balancer or an alignment machine..

 

I was going to matte red mine, though at 5k aus and higher
for the color, I thought otherwise... I've two lovely oris watches instead

 

Yeah, I know what you mean tak. I checked the prices on 3M, for real legit vinyls but those are crazy expensive.

El-cheapo vinyls, anyone?

 

I'm interested in this too, my daily has a beat paint job and it's cheaper than a re-spray!

this is all I could find so far:
