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? |

I can tell you with 100% confidence that will be some very low quality wrap (crap). And not only will it not look like the name brand stuff (3M, Avery) it won't have the same working characteristics.
But, at $250, you're actually still in the cheap practice material realm. So, I encourage you to learn the fundamentals on that, and then spend the coin on some quality material for the final job. You will be so glad you did. PS - I set up an account with the nations largest wrap wholesaler Fellers.com for sourcing material and tools. They have warehouses you can pick up from all over the US if you want to save shipping cost too. |
