Considering a vinyl wrap on my 1975 914 Cali car with original badly faded Palma Green.
I have not seen much chatter here with regards to wraps? |

Well, another tip: vinyl will not hide physical flaws. Cracks, uneven surfaces, edges will all actually be highlighted with vinyl.
But with vinyl you can DA the surface to knock it flat and not worry about paint quality underneath. |

Thanks for the replies, also has anyone had good/bad luck with any of the several manufacturers? I have applied window film a few times in the past and assume it's a similar process |
