Unfortunately my bank would tell you otherwise haha!

Cheers for the comments guys, wrapfx have given a good estimation of the costs.

I\'ll get some close ups of the work and post \'em up, lots of little detail bits left to do yet!

Now that gives me an idea, already considered doing it for my fc (based on the fact that i have my own vinyl graphics busy anyway)  but to do a vinyl wrap with single colour like that depending on material costs (which I will check tonight) will cost nowehere near £650-£850 in my opinion

does look rather good mate, my old FD was satin black but had the paint job done :Thumbs-up

I think you will need to check material costs - what are you paying for regular vinyl?
£3 to £7 a mtr.

You\'ll find the proper wrap vinyl [We use Avery super wrap] comes in at £23 a mtr. plain colour - you will also have to buy a 25 or 30 mtr log.

I\'ve been in the sign industry for over 40 years and know for a fact you\'ll struggle to get a Smart Car wrapped for £800.

Have you wrapped a car, do you know how long it takes?

Back to that nice looking wrap on the FD, I\'d be interested to know what the original colour was and did you have the inside door posts done. Costs more but it you go to black from a white car it can look a bit iffy when you open the door.

Can\'t see on the pic but as the material is 1370mm I\'m guessing there must be a join somewhere as the rear wing goes seamlessly up the rear pillar and onto the roof and down the other side. This looks a bigger area than you could cover in one piece.

dan verge (dandan) did it himself on his old fd, then on his 200sx, theres probably a thread somewhere. Looked great! He also does signwriting etc for a job tho!

Cheers for the comments!

It was originally PZ black, hasn\'t had the door inserts done yet due to time (i was rushing it as a rival magazine was doing the satin black 350Z haha!) and also i\'ll no doubt change my mind in a few months But i\'m lucky that it\'s gone from black... to black.

There\'s a join just leve with the bottom of the driver window on the rear 3/4, it\'s noticeable up close but to be honest with the satin black wrap you can\'t see it in snaps and just looking over the car, nothing a sticker wont hide

[MARKPRIOR]

looks spot on!

[MaLicE]

u work for max power?

i know people in fastcar and redline lol...

[Rotary_Menace]

any chance you can upload some more pic\'s, would like to see some of the joins if possible,

[Moonwrap]

I really like this, especially as a matt black all-over version!

So how well does this last? Really up to 7 years? It can cope with the heat etc (i.e. doesn\'t peel etc) and removes without leaving any problems for the paint when the time comes to remove it? Quite fascinated now! LOL!

Is this a step up from the layers which are put on prestige cars to protect from stone chips etc on their front ends?

[Jono FD3]

Correct, put on eoperly the vinyl wil out last its year grading!! there are vans knocking around that my sis did 12 years ago & they stil look respectable, so it would be more than feasable for the wrap to last 10 years! The other thing is it protects the paint work from stone chips & UV light, so the paint will not fade eather! once removed you may have a little glue residue to remove but that would be the worst that should happen!!
