If it lasts a decent amount of time id be all over that. But it's a sticker, it'll rip.

depending on the vinyl you use, it can be pretty durable stuff, ive vinyled cars bikes, and trucks, unless you get something drug accross it pretty hard, theris really no problems .

Unfortunatly i only have pics of my bike i did .

The bike used to be all black, I added the charcoal metallic vinyl to it .

If your refering to full body wraps, no, i havnt done any of those .

Ive done large decals too, but i only have pics of my fender stripes .

The vinyl as long as its a good quality such a 3m Control Tac you wont have to worry about anything ripping. I work at a print shop and have wrapped vehicles and trailers and for the most part the material holds up awesome. Our company van has been wrapped for three years now and is driven everyday. The plus side to it is the prep time, really you just need to clean the car very good and use the correct cleaning products. This might be a shameless plug but if anybody is interested I can definitely help you out and point you in the right direction. Ill try to get some pictures of the Scions we did up.

I was actually lookin into the satin vinyl myself after seeing the new skyline done up in it .

They let us play with this stuff at SEMA. It's pretty cool, and if you take your time and apply heat when covering the curvy portions it looks really good when finished. I strongly considered doing this on my kouki.

Nico is behind in times. Couple Violent Running guys have done vinyl. In the process of doing it myself. Let me tell you, its a *****.

I love vinyl! I think it looks sick. And its cheap. But it does need repairs. Heres a pic of one of the guys that comes to our midwest drift events.

All vinyls. I have a close up of this car on my laptop at home, but im at work.

Post by **CRyan** » Thu Jan 08, 2009 3:59 am

I used to do the vinyl wrapping for all mossy oak stuff on mini trucks and large trucks. Well. Titan. And mini trucks.

Stuff scratches and the begins to peel wayyy to easily.
