#277 by Danne , Sun Jun 02, 2013 7:27 pm

Looks dam nice

#278 by Basil , Sun Jun 02, 2013 7:47 pm

ta Danne - can`t yet bring masell to chop in the snorkel, so I shalln`t be swimming anywhere just yet

#279 by diggermandan , Sun Jun 02, 2013 8:13 pm

Will you wrap the snorkel too, or is the orange strictly symmetrical?

#280 by Basil , Sun Jun 02, 2013 8:15 pm

Dunno yet Dan, its not that easy to wrap in two planes if you know what I mean - and I think it may not adhere to the surface of the snorkel

#281 by Deleted User , Fri Jun 07, 2013 1:41 pm

speak to swanny im sure he painted his snork

#282 by Greigboy , Fri Jun 07, 2013 1:52 pm

Yeah it will paint no problem as long as plasticiser primer is used

Matt black vinyl wrapped the bonnet and roof today - looks good, and should reduce the damage from pesky stonechips. Didnt get the truck back til just before dark, and it was pi55ing doon, so pics tomorrow

Was that near H.I.S...?

I see there is a place there that does it. Want the roof of my Fiat wrapped. Would be good to know if they've done a decent job.

This was GDK Signs in Stornaway Col. Bonnet and roof £240 inc vat. Took about six hours over two days.

Look forward to seeing the pics (ahem).

What kind of price do you think you're looking at for both sides?

#288 by Gezza , Wed Nov 13, 2013 9:01 pm

If i remember correctly ( krutly mode ) when you first got your barbie.......... You loved the shiny cosmic black.
Not much left of it now!!

#289 by chaldon3 , Wed Nov 13, 2013 9:08 pm

the price seems very reasonable i also can not wait for the pics, would like carbon fibre effect on bonnet of my other car.

#290 by Basil , Wed Nov 13, 2013 9:44 pm

Apparently the wee "carbon" pattern traps the dirt, and can be a pig to clean?
plenty of shiny left (sides covered in mud just noo)

#295 by Basil , Wed Nov 13, 2013 10:31 pm

They started wrapping them this year as up til last year the matt black had a tendency to peel...oops

#296 by Gezza , Wed Nov 13, 2013 10:35 pm

Good advice, as one day I'll be trading up
