I think there was a post here maybe a couple months ago, someone did a full Vinyl wrap on a car. I believe they vinyled it white.

I have some questions about where to get that type of vinyl and about the process
searching turned up nothing for me, b/c I cant find the exact original topic

post here or email me

A whole car in vinyl?? I hope they at least left the windows and lights alone!

J/K, I've been up drinking too much caffeine.

Mic, pm me if you want to know about the process. I work in a building where they do vehicle wraps every day

THanks guys. that was it.
I'll send some emails later, but I more wanted to see what type of vinyl was being used.
my hood has some issues from the maaco type paint job done before I got the car and painting it isnt a real option right now ($$$)
So I was looking into this as an option or maybe finding a CF pattern,

Dude i searched for a week. I searched for " white vinyl" b/c I knew he used a white vinyl. "body vinyl"
vinyl wrap

about everything I could think of. Maybe I did find the post but didnt scan far enough into the post to see it....

Believe me, I search 99.9% of the time before I ever make a post and it just got to me too much b/c I need to get this taken care of before a show

I remember that thread and it was buried inside of it so searching probably was fruitless. That gif makes me laugh and I couldn't wait to use it

I used 3M Scotchcal 180-series vinyl on the car I wrapped in white, this is more or less known as the best you can get. But since then, 3M have released a new series of car wrap vinyl called Scotchcal 85-series. It costs a bit less, but is not as conformable around difficult shapes as the 180-series.

Info from 3M: 3M UK & Ireland: Graphic Solutions - Customer Service - News

It's a pain in the ass to do wraps if you haven't done vinyl work before. Zelano normally has a vendor at ESN that does car wraps.

hahah if u remember my previous vinyling experiences with just graphics, Odds are I wont attempt this myself, unless I get quoted outrageous prices.
Only looking to do hood and maybe trunk lid. Hood is the major concern.

worse case, maybe I can hit up Tweak and have him come out and do it for me

I do them. The best brand to get is Oracal 970RA. Runs about $600/roll, which will do one car. Matte Black is available but comes from Germany so it takes six weeks. 970RA is sold as a "paint alternative" with an outdoor life of 5-10 years depending on color.

I like to use the Oracal vinyl myself. The 750 series works pretty well. Check out their site to see what options you have for the carbon printed stuff.

I use a local company called Pacific coast sign supply. I believe that they do online ordering. Oh yeah, the series that I use is "751" and not 750. Look them up online.
