Thread: Complete car wraps

  1. #1

    Complete car wraps

    Anybody have an opinion on them? It's a fairly fresh idea, inspired by a frozen grey wrapped TT that I saw. I regret buying my GTI in red, I don't think it complements my wheel options as well as the silver, white GTI's out there. Has anyone had experience with them or know of ballpark figures?

    Roughly Ball park id say $2000
    im a signwritter myself, so I'm not just throwing a random number out there haha, but roughly maybe $2000 depending what company and what brand vinyl they use and so forth ,

    I've always wanted to do a full wrap on mine, but level on laziness takes over ha=)

    whats you idea?
    matte grey like the TT
    ?

    $2k is about right, $2.5k will get u metalics and pearls.
    If you want to change the color of your car and keep it that way you are better off with a respray for 2k. Wraps look OKAY in solid colors but i wouldnt go near metalics and pearls.

    So about $2K. Mmm, gives me something to think about. I like the fact that it's removable come resale time. Not everyone likes a resprayed car or I would do it myself! Here's the link if you're interested:

    Jonny C's wrapped TT-RS
    ...and yeah if probably choose a similar gun metal kind of grey.
    In terms of longetivity, say I left the wrap on 5 years or longer, does it get harder to remove with age?

    All films get harder to remove after time, with saying that, vehicle wraps are usually a 7-10 year films!
    it shouldn't be too bad, you will need a heat gun and glue remover though!
    applied and pulled off many wraps in my time of working in the industry!
