wrap what does it cost
cfc999 - 14/4/13 at 08:28 AM

Thinking of wrapping the two alloy side panels on my Striker
Just wondering what sort of price am i looking at if done by a professional
Would have ago myself but not sure how easy it is
Tried wrapping a few small parts but it didnt go well shall we say
If any one fancies giving me a hand I'd repay in food tea or beer
Cheers

Have a look on you tube at car wrap, you will get a good idea whats what. I have just done my car and very happy with my first attempt.

Two flat surfaces? Should be easy enough to DIY surely? £40 for basic cast sign vinyl or £80 for 3m.

I would normally charge £70 for 2 sides (7 yr vinyl)
Pity your too far away!

Thanks for yours posts.
Looked on you tube and dosent look too difficult but still a little reluctant to have a go
Has anyone in the North West used a professional wrapper and if so do you have their contact details
If anyone has done it themselves and fancies giving me a lift then you can contact me on number below
Will pay towards any costs
Cheers

It's one thing that is dead easy to do, as long as you get the good stuff, and not the cheap sign vinyl.

I think sign vinyl can be ok, I beleive the word to look out for is Cast, which allows stretch and is much more durable, where as Calendered vinyl is much cheaper but for a reason.

There is different grades of calandered vinyl, from 0 -10 years and priced accordingly
vehicle grade is 5-7 year (which outlasts paintwork)
a cast vinyl is used if there are corners and deep recesses to adhere to.
For a flat surface on your Striker a 5yr vinyl would be more than adequate.

I would be very interested if anyone on here knows how much a full wrap would be for my Robin Hood.

I've been considering this but have had no luck on google to get a rough cost.
