I like the CF stripes... surprisingly! You just have to look at it and their is no depth, no reflection.... The things I love! It does look cool but not for me!

craigy hardcore Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 but if nobody told you it wasn't paint, would you know??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13KYF Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 but if nobody told you it wasn't paint, would you know??? Just doesn't look like a deep colour. Difficult to explain but like I said, be good to see in the flesh. Perhaps cos its white makes you think its plastic anyway like a kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 but if nobody told you it wasn't paint, would you know??? Does Vinyl do this???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanski Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 I'm sure its cheaper than a respray but it looks like a TV dinner from Tesco to me! What happens if you scratch it in the middle of a panel ? Get a hairdrier on it and smooth it over with your finger? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarnie Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Why compare it to paint? Its not paint............. Its cheaper than a respray and doesn't devalue your car as its only temporary...........of course it won't be as good as paint though! If I wanted to change my car colour my main concerns would be the cost of the respray ( £2k-£3k) plus the loss in value of a respray (maybe £2k-£3k on a £20k car) means a respray would lose you £4k-£6k in total. Or pay £1500 for a wrap and when your bored, take it off, win win if you ask me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris`I Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Also, with this you wouldnt want to do a finish like paint. Thats why so many people get matt colours as they are not trying to get the effect of paint. The main thing that would stop me is the amount of stone chips I have, they would have to do some prep to smooth them out so they dont show through, and I expect that would cost quite a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pimm Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Some fantastic work that has gone into doing that. I wonder if it leaves a horrible sticky substance all over the car when the wrap comes off. I surpose nothing a good polish wont sort out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
