Vinyl Wrapping - Any one do it?

[Graham]

I am thinking of doing a vinyl wrap on my Land Cruiser.

A couple of vistas have took my imagination way out of orbit, so need a little advice.

The few that I have favoured are as follows, and I invite any one to also please submit any thing they fing on the net, that is also in the same sort of vein as these.

To some thing like these.

1/ Desert:

2/ Great Wall

.
.
3/ Himalaya

.
.
4/ Sunset

.
.
5/ Tiger

Which one do you like of these (if any) and do you have any ideas on where thee are more?

FWIW I quite like the green & tiger!

 

[Graham]

I will throw my choice in, might as well.

First I liked the green tiger one.

Then I changed my mind, now I like the sunset one, with the beach/sea at the bottom.

Tomorrow is another day.

Nope don't like those at all.

 

[Gary Stockton]

Quite like the Himalaya one - not normally my 'thing' but that's quite good.

Thanks Graham, can't think why when I entered www.xworld.cc I didn't get anything? I'd like to see my 80 in that desert theme.



Just tried entering that again and it worked this time.

 

[chadr]

I actually like most of those.

My favourites would be Himalaya and Tiger, though desert is my least favourite - I just don't like the way the "sky" makes the truck look two-tone, whereas the others blend in quite well.

 

[grantw]

@chadr ... I think the "two tone" thing is why i don't like that one as well.

 

[Chas]

@chadr ... I think the "two tone" thing is why i don't like that one as well.

Looking again, I agree so 4/Sunset is my next choice, I like the reddish colouring of both of them but I see what you mean by two tone.

I quite like the concept of a wrap and have contemplated it myself on a couple of cars but have never taken the plunge. To be honest I'm not too keen on the choices you've posted up but beauty is in the eye of......etc etc.

 

[Bat21]

I doubt I will ever wrap the whole car but, I'm just about to order a sheet of 1080 to do the bonnet on my 80 that is suffering from the lacquer flaking off

I know the only way to put the bonnet problem right is to get it repainted, but I quite like the carbon fiber look.... even if it does only last a few years.

I wrapped a couple of vans in a similar fashion and I,m sure for the 2 was about £2200

I took this photo of a car in the car park at Pecorama in Beer (Devon) back in August that had been wrapped

I quite liked it It'a amazing what people will do in a Jubilee year

You'd of thought he could get away without the GB number plates with that lot going on

Completely unrelated, but I also photographed this in the same car park as I'd never seen one before

See them all over the place now

Back to vinyl wrapping, what about what Mario Balotelli did to his Bentley Continental GT[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] [/FONT]

I bet he's got matching trousers and jacket too.

Nice quote

 

[Graham]

Well prices are between £1300 and £2600 for a full wrap
The lower quote asks £25 an hour for about 6 hours for artwork.

I think wraps are a complete and utter waste of money.
If you want it to look different, work out what sort theme you want and take it to a custom paint shop that has an airbrush artist and have what you want not what some graphic artist thinks you want.
For the price of a wrap you could have the artwork you want.

I think an advantage with a wrap is that it can be removed easily and you're back to original paint that's been protected while covered.
