galgazza Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Dear all. Have seen some fantastic Zeds on here that have had full colour change wraps but also heard people advise against it. Just wondered what the views were on this forum. Any good or bad experiences ? Look forward to all comments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Got mine wrapped - It aint paint!!!! But then it doesn't cost as much, Depends what you want and if you want it to be removable. I'm happy(ish) with mine but I got it at a very good price - just be aware that it is not going to be as good as a respray. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veilside z Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Wraps tend to be cheaper, but will never replace a paint finish on closer inspection. With a wrap you can remove it easily when you fancy a change. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricey Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 There's a company round the corner from us who are professional wrappers and their work is unbelievable. I couldn't have told you it wasn't paint from the photos. That said they charge a bomb! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davedutch Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Agree with Keyser, had mine wrapped two years ago, at least half the price of a spray and easy to remove should I wish. But it will always look wrapped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevoD Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 just dont choose a finish that makes it look like a cake car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

galgazza Posted May 20, 2015 Author Share Posted May 20, 2015 Grundy that's looks like a really good wrap... Some quote £800 some £2000 Some give 3 month guarantee and other 5years Looks to be a massive gap between wrappers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And i can get a respray for that lol Edited May 21, 2015 by dannybz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nowhereboy Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 3 grand to wrap a car!! Thats insane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannybz Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Yeah they have a lot of high end clients with supercars though.... probably why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobbyZ Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 (edited) Didn't realise wraps were so expensive. To me they seem like a strictly temporary solution, as I can't imagine it's easy to sell a wrapped car (I know I wouldn't). Edit: wouldn't want to buy one!

galgazza Posted May 21, 2015 Author Share Posted May 21, 2015 There work does look fantastic though, the orange GTR is special.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannybz Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 They are very precise with there work, i have been to see a few and you'd never even really know it was vinyl tbh... it is that good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davedutch Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Paul at pwpro wrapped mine, it cost £1500 two years ago and while he did a good job, wrapping will never be perfect, and it chips the same as paint. He does a lot of gtr's etc. I would never pay £3k for a wrap !!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davedutch Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Just looked, mine is still featured in Paul's gallery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetpilot Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 I like the concept and if you have a car thats of high value, I.e a 370 like Keyser, Paralello, or a Gtr for example, thats probably going to devalue it by spraying it a bold colour it makes sense. I think I would struggle to pay £1500 plus for something temporary on a car only worth a few grand though. I would also have an irrational thought, whats the wrap hiding, on an older car if i was looking to buy, unless of course its a colour you just cant get with paint.

Plus it will keep the paintwork nice and clean if you have just gone out and bought a brand new GTR so would be more desirable on resale...

davedutch Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 That appears to be why most gtr's etc get wrapped by Paul - to help preserve original paint finish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Payco Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 (edited) Give Zippypooz a shout on here. Professional wrapper who is highly regarded in the trade.. Based here in sunny Sussex. His work is superb.. Edited May 22, 2015 by Payco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliveBoy Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 There's a company called wrapcube near london, I follow them on facebook (https://www.facebook.com/WrapCube?fref=ts) because their work is so amazing. I've seen one of their wraps in the flesh and you'd genuinely not know it was a wrap. They take the doors off so they can do the shuts in one piece etc. I imagine they're crazy money, but they're perfect! found some pics As everyone says, you get what you pay for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
