    Totally smooth reflection vinyl wrap??

    Hi guys...posted not too long ago with DIY vinyl wrapping of my external B pillars...worked a treat until "creampuff" posted his sticker kit from ebay on....on his reflection its perfect flat mirror image...with mine its got that "orange peel" effect like paintwork....dont really want to get the stick on kit from ebay as creampuff said one piece was 10mm too short and I also wanted to do my own thing with removing the trims to fit the wrap so there was no chance of seeing any edges etc and looking like a sticker!...Im happy with mine that they look metal and not just stickers but would love that flat finish in gloss black........my question is..can you get vinyl wrap like this or does all vinyl have "orange peel"? What else can i use to get this finish?....cheers

    You should be able to get it in a smooth finish but it will be a lot more expensive.
    I have seen it before on the web but can't recall where.
