So I had purchased my car last december and the previous owner gave my car blue eyelashes. I decided to change it this weekend. I used black matte vinyl wrap by Hexis on this.
I would like to know some opinions if i should do rear trunk now????? As you can see in the photo's the vinyl wrap is a cheap solution to so many problems. I also did my gauge plate in stainless steel on my other post. Check out the samples, so many colors and textures.

I've been wondering if you could wrap a whole car.
It would save doing a whole paint job and it should last OK on a car that's garaged most of the time.

This just peels off if you don't like it anymore, right?

I wonder how much the material would cost?


Yes, you can wrap an entire car. They make different grades for say short term advertising wraps or wraps lasting up to ten years. Bunch of colors, CF, Alligator, Brushed. You can buy the stuff off EBAY. Looks like comes in 6 foot wide x unlimited length. Goes over painted or non porous surfaces. Peel the adhesive then put it on convex, concave, flat, etc. You can re-position it until you activate it with a heat gun. Saw some 8 foot by 5 foot for @120$ (thinking bumpers). They just cut what you desire.

Yes they make chrome.

Depends on the product if the adhesive is temporary or permanent.

The website is a little tough to use and they direct you to a ditributor to purchase.

Hexis



My paint is old, chipped and kind of crappy looking, typical 80's paint job, but over all it doesn't really "need" paint, their is no rust or major issues (maybe the odd touch up), it only needs paint for cosmetic reasons.
I've thought about this before (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)
