Ben. Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 My truck has no dents.. They're actually using this method at a local heating and air company that was just bought out by a franchise.. Rather than laying down six thousand dollars for a repaint they're wrapping them in the company colors with vinyl and labeling. It'll last a long time.

chris_agu28 Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 That is awesome but honestly I would have kept that beamer in black IMO. That is still a cool idea. Any links on company's that do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris_agu28 Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Awesome I can go through a automatic car wash as well. Not like I ever do, but at least I don't have to worry. So what happens in about 3-4 years, does it peel off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the easiest way to make money. If they hit your car in that same spot thats already been dented, you can have that person fix your dent. I actually like it in white. Im tired of black cars.

airjordan223 Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 i saw this on speed vision a few years ago and it was like 6 grand to do it. kind of stupid because for 6 grand you could just get a new paint job. but this one is probably cheaper. they also had this on Taxi if anyone saw that movie with the four hot brasilian bitches driving the BMDUBS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pballer2005 Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 meh, i don't like stark white cars, needs to be pearled. cool idea though, if you where to get this in a dark color would it show scratches like a dark colored paint would? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Not a bad idea except for the fact that you will always have a dull finish instead of something shiny and reflective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TS John Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 Yeah, I saw something on SPEED about this a few years ago too. Usually it's done with complex graphics which add significantly to the expense, so I'm sure just flat white would be a lot cheaper. For this dude to get an american flag on his old stang was like 6k and it looked great... They also did a write-up about doing this DIY-style in Honda Tuning several months ago.
