Eric_Collins Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 I have never done it, but I will only charge £50!:thumbsup: Wowza ! You wouldn't even cover the cost of the vynl ? It's hard and long job wrapping if done right. The sister in law has a golf r32 wrapped in white with carbon roof and bonnet , looks good. I've done wrapping a fair few times and it's difficult and in weather like this unless your indoors , impossible to not at all. The wrap needs minimum of 8deg's to bond to the metal.

Eric_Collins Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Think what he is saying if I buy the vinyl Truth, I would let someone 'try' with it. The wrapping involves heat guns and knifes. Ive seen and rectified tries where someone's had a go and used a Stanley knife to cut the vinyl , and the car body work. You have to be part sign writer and part body mechanic , you have to remove trim, lights and other exterior items. ---------- Post added 04-12-2012 at 18:04 ---------- Plus it's a 2 man job to do it right, if your doing a printed wrap you can get away with paneling with slight overlaps and is a one man job. A car and off the roll is deffo 2 man job if not 3 , 2 to hold the length of wrap while 3rd starts to squeegee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
