Paint cars wrap

[vanwyman]

My 87 180ss needs painting imo. But I am leaning to wrapping .Any input about manufactures and vendors of material and tools and such?

welcome aboard

get a cost from your local suppliers. a good wrap job on your boat will be about 20X more cost than painting the boat than with the process in link 19:

a wrap will cost you about $2k to have professionally done.

DIY will cost you about $500

you can paint it yourself for under $100

Post some pics and for sure before and after. It's always good to have someone add info on such things for the future.

On some of the other groups I'm in guys have lots of good things to say about Gator Wraps.

Wraps are not as durable as paint. My company has done a few wraps and they don't hold up. If you get a wrap that has multiple designs or colors and if you gouge/scratch it. It might be hard to get the patch to cover it up and look decent.

I have seen afew that has come up looking bad after the patch was put on

Just something to concider.
