[kar_krazy]

Thanks alot guys, i have alot to think about, im going to look into it a little bit more, but still cant decide whether i want a complete new paint job, or vinyl coat it, but i just love how the matte black looks on cars, that impreza was beautiful. But keep the comments coming guys. And MKIV i will text you for sure if i need anything.

O adn if you want it done right call Brian Speedpro Mississauga. His installer is on par with ours. 905 569 6879. Tell him Dave from GP told you to call.

You dont get it. 3M is good for sure but Hexis Avery Orical, Are all good products. What Im saying is when you have an issue like a corner pulling up or something like that. What would be warrenty. Who pays for the fix?

If you intend to spend that kind of coin, upwards of $3-large, why not just get a proper paint job? Remember, vinyl wrapping costs nearly the same and doesn't take care of any scuffs, rusting or dents.

Exactly what I was gonna say. Unless you want to cover the good paint underneath? or your like that BMW in taxi movie that strips it off so the cops dont see them haha.

good point ...
we will be using 3m sotchprint 1080 so i know its good ****
but i will ask before hand and double check

thanks for the heads up

[Speeddm]

Ya that will ensure you get the job your looking for. If you want cheep watch you tube and do it yourself. Don't worry the bumper isn't that hard to do.

If the material is customer supplied there is no warranty Doesn't mater what brand it is. Look into it.

i get 3m from work for stupid cheap
so for me its an easy decision to go the vinyl route even if i have to do it every 3 years

i just have to decide who i want to wrap the car

[Speeddm]

I would go the paint route as well. And I have Staff that would do the wrap for me.
But if you want wood grain or tiger fur. A Wrap is the answer.

We deal with several body shops that I would recommend to you, and for that price range you would be getting any rust or dents taken care of and an OEM finish.

Text me if you need help!

A 32 is simple to wrap. Most things are. I have done full and partial over 200 over the last 8 years and trained shops all across Canada. You can have it done cheep or right. the choice is up to you. We for years have done what is called a novelty wrap. That is allot more money as the work is far more intense. For example
This truck was $6200.00. But that is full coverage roof the works. All rubber trim removes tailgate door handles flairs. Basically scuff it and ready for paint.

Damn battery died in the shop. i have better pics at the office of this truck. But you get the picture

JVizzle is correct. The edges will fail.

Think of this fact. Wrap techs are going to spend countless hours wrapping your car that you love. During that time they are going to be trimming material off your car. nano meters from your paint. You will sign paperwork saying that you realize that fact and that you do not hold the shop liable for any paint work damages. And that minor scratches in the clear are possible.

So ya if you want go with the cheep guy. Go for it.
Remember the material cost is relatively the same where ever you go. Normally your paying for the experience of the tech. Go buy a yard of material and try wrapping your front bumper. You will get it.

looks good when done correctly just like any paint job you get what you pay for

i have the Flat White vinyl sitting in my office
the R32 GTR gets wrapped as soon as it comes out of storage
so give me 2 or 3 months and you can check mine

I had thought of this as well for my 32. only concern is that i dont know that the 32 is the best candidate for vinyl. porsche 911 for sure, but i just think the lines of the 32 are too coarse. 33 and 34 would be good though.
