I like the gopher splitter.

I'll either be getting that splitter or something else

Re: Non bacon car

Did quite a bit of work today. Biggest one being peeling the camo, tried polishing some of the scratches out of my hood which actually worked okay, although they are still noticeable. I also painted my mirror caps. OEM brushed caps are too baller for my pockets.

Joe also picked up my wheel tonight and i should have it back by friday!

Im also working on new designs for the car with vinyl again, thinking of maybe adding some colour to it this time around. Car will be ready for driven.

Re: Non bacon car

I saw you down by Sikome Lake a few weeks back.

Just wondering, how long does it take to apply the vinyl for the whole car? Id be really interested in doing or having that done to my Allroad...

it took me a while, between cutting the vinyl and then putting it on the car, it took me probably about 7 hours cutting and planning, and then probably another 8 actually applying it and this was with 2 extra sets of hands.

Vinyl party at Edo's house! I love the look of your design and others that have various camo patterns, I just dont have the courage to apply it to my car.

Re: Non bacon car

Just curious as to how much you pay for all the vinyl?

Re: Non bacon car

Noooooo. I really like the design you had. Not really camo. Guess this means that it's open for my own copy then!

Dayamn. So for the most part if you were to get your car wrapped, the main expense is labour? As you said about 15+ hours with 2 friends. Thats much less than I thought It would run... Hmm

A couple things to keep in mind:

1. This was done with intermediate vinyl which is calendered as opposed to cast. It is more prone to shrinking and peeling. It is primarily used for for indoor signs and temporary outdoor signs. For Danny's application this was the best choice as he didn't plan on leaving it on for very long and it is much more economical than cast vinyl.

2. Wrapping an entire car in solid vinyl takes much longer than applying separate pieces. You need to work over all of the curves and contours. The separate pieces allow you to work around a lot of the curves and make it much more forgiving. The vinyl wrap material is cast vinyl and will not shrink over time. Typically the wrap vinyl is more resistant to marring (scratching) than calendered vinyl and is more resistant to UV.

Thanks for clearing that up Tyler.

Like he Said, this is the cheapest stuff you can buy. I do not recommend wrapping a full car in this. I'm very surprised it lasted as long as it did. The stuff I used is very prone to rock chips, and lifts pretty easy.
