Actually I'm quite pleased this thread came up. I have a car thats not worth much but I wanted to transform it into a nice shiny jet black. To get it done in the paint shop would be around £2k. Never thought of a wrap!

Nice one op!

Depending on the value of the car and how good a job you want done you should be able to get a full respray from £500 upwards. Certainly £750 if you shop around.

Also, dont forget a wrap covers the car warts and and all - any rusty bits, dings and significant scratches will be able to be seen post wrapping.

Dont waste your money. Matte Black scratches and stains very easy. And remember you cant go through a car wash with Wrap no matter what they say. If any little amount of water gets underneath its games over.

Get a body shop to professionally spray paint matte black.

Just read ths thread for the first time so glad it was resurrected.

why does the fact that you cant go through a car wash put anyone off

I always wash by hand and so do most people who care about their cars paintwork/vinyl

You've dug up a thread from over a year ago ? And judging from your spelling, you're from the other side of the pond ?


Go on then - how much do you charge to provide us with your wonderful service ? I just hope your wrapping skills are somewhat superior to your grammar skills.

To your ride? You wrap bicycles? We drive cars in the UK we dont ride them.

Wrapping with carbon fibre makes you look a wally, edgy look? You mean people look at your car edgeways and snigger?

Opportunity for some deep cleaning. and then your going to cover it with some cheap crappy sticky back plastic?

Cheaper than a paint job, not always, but crappier than one 100%.

Might last 5 - 7 years? A cars original paint will look as good as new after 20 years if you wash it once or twice a year.

Congratulations on telling us all how really stupid it would be to wrap our cars.
Really hope your not in the wrapping business.
