Seems like it has a lot to do with the shape of the vehicle, as in how many creases/lines/panels and such. Does anyone make a wood-grain style? I want to practice with wrapping my hood on my Justy. That snow-camo is pretty awesome though.

I dont sell it, I just pic it up from my film distributor, they're down there in Socal, Aerotect in La Verne. aerotect.net - Colored Vinyl I full roll (60" X 75ft) is enough to wrap most cars and costs about $650.


And yeah Jacob they make wood grain

I don't know why people have not said vinyl stiles in San Carlos! Lyle is amazing and does some of the best work in the country.

I was quoted $500 for a roof wrap and $4000 for a complete body wrap at Vinyl Styles... Imperial Works quoted me 50% less

When i took my parts there he didnt do the work, he had other employees.
All i can say is that my final product i was not happy with.
That was about 2 years ago now so things may have changed.
Just my two cents.

ERMAHGHERD I want my WRB sedan to be flat WRB. Step one, fix the dents, step two, learn how to vinyl. Is that the air-release stuff? Probably the only way I would be able to do a Bugeye fender!
