so rather than spending lotsa money on a paint job or lotsa time doin it myself, i looked into vinyl wrapping n im wonderin if there's any place that'll just sell me that crap and let me be on my way to do it at home.



or would you say just flat black the damn car and save?

either way will look equally as spectacular and raise the resale along with it

his location says sylmar , so that should be California, there are many big sticker/vinyl shops in cali that do full vinyl for cars, be it for race or for advertising. just gotta ask around. probably expensive though. The roller paint idea should work for a budget, i have seen a few pics of some cars, and i have rattlecanned some sections of vehicles. When done right it can have very good results, BUT it will never compare to a proper paint job. I dont know about the link 1988 posted but i had seen one of a ford ranger done in rustoleum yellow.. came out looking great. wonder how those hold up to weather and the elements..

most race cars now are wrapped only. it chipps really easy and will peel off when it gets chipped. and to wrap a whole car is expencive with the correct wrap. i was talkin to a fella who wrapps race cars and he was talkin about 3 grand and over for basic single and dual color wraps. could have included his labor too though.

3k? thats insane, real paint is under $1000



unless its SCCA, where the finishing position in the concours is what gets you points
