Body Wrap?
The paint on my Indy is looking a little tired. I am considering getting the car wrapped rather than resprayed. Anyone had any experience of this on a
locost?

My old neigbour had a van wrapped for about £1500, have a look around and haggle. Its got to be cheaper than getting it proffessionally painted.

I looked into this, we have had specialists do it at work and it doesn't look too difficult, make sure all the seams face rearward and downward.
I reckon about £80 if this would do it

When you say tired, do you mean the paintwork is dull?
Why not get a pro to detail it, would be cheaper than a wrap and a respray.
Think for a wrap it will be more expensive due to the shape of the nose cone, the arches and flat panels are easier, its the complex curves that will
take time.
I would budget upto £1,000 if you want it in 3m vinyl.

Get the proper vinyl spreader, works so much better.
Having it digital (like the sky vans) makes it so much more expensive.
I looked at 3m "carbon" and got a quote of £900 to do wifes car. (puma)

Just out of interest - can they wrap compound curves such as nosecone or power bulges without wrinkling or pulling away?
Edited: Answered my own question by looking at the video of the Lotus wrap.
