FTO AUSTRALIA

Well, seriously considering getting my new white daily drive vinyl wrapped now. Found a mob in Canberra that are offering a pretty good price. Might take a shot at it. Havent seen anyone go there yet with an FTO, so maybe ill be the first (in the club at least).

Thinking this of a flat blue like this:



If it works well, may do my baby in a gloss blue.

Do I get props for suggesting? that blue does look nice. how much is it looking to cost?

Dont know yet, but price for small/medium car starts at $1250.

Not bad. Guess we'll have to wait a while to see how durable it is though.

I have had the roof wrapped on my starlet for a while now, done with the 3M stuff and looks same as new after a wash, no signs of fading/bubbling/peeling.

If I can get my car vinyl wrapped for $1,000 I'll most likely do it

? (Sorry, just being a smartass )

Anyway, to actually contribute to this topic...

I think a wrap rather than a respray on your Version R is a good idea, Dwayne. Saves the original paint. On the other hand, more so with the daily, would the vinyl not get shredded up with all the rocks and stuff around your place?

Better the vinyl than the paint, right? I mean, if it's costing a little over a grand to get a whole car done, then maybe if the bumper gets bad over time you just peel it off and apply a new layer for a couple hundred bucks or less.

Good point. Although it would be annoying to have to reapply every few months/annually.

I guess it depends how strong the vinyl is.

Clear coat it in Sahin's sweat.

Harvesting it is the main issue.

I don't really know much about that.

Wouldnt really consider myself a sweat connoisseur..

Anyway lets get back on topic. Too much 2:30am gibberish from me lately

From what im reading the wrap holds up to the stones better than paint.

What about that spray on wrap stuff?

I was going for that colour on the wife's..But when Carbon Deamon said it would be about 3k I lost interest..

It doesnt last very long and isnt as durable as a proper wrap.

Where did you get this quote from?

OK, actual quote came in at $1690 for the whole car. Actually, pretty happy with that, so think I may go ahead with it.

I paid 1k cash in hand while doing the insurance repairs for the dodgy paint job. 1.7k for the whole car properly wrapped is an awesome price in that comparison.
