Vinyl wrapping - progress pics!
 
Started the vinyl wrapping on my car, thought I'd share a few photos! Let me know what you think, it's nice stuff to work with.

Hope the links work, first time with photobucket!

Cheers

I must admit I'm not a fan of vinyl wrapping as it can go horribly wrong like those self tint window kits. Hat off you you sir that is a very nice job you've done there, you must have the patience of a saint. Did you float the vinyl over a flim of water or just lay on realy slow?

It's 3m di noc that is really easy to use. No water, just a bit of heat if you get in a mess! The rear panel took about an hour, and the screen about 20 mins, so not so bad! The wing mirrors took about an hour each, due to all the double curves, but I'm really happy with the results.

Thanks for the nice comments Talon!

I had visions of nasty folds like that sticky back plastic stuff but hey that's damn fine that is mate, it looks better than some proper carbon fibre I have seen available for kit cars..pat on the back and hats off to you..:cool:


Know I wonder what my camper would look like wrapped in carbon:cool:
