Considering a vinyl wrap on my 1975 914 Cali car with original badly faded Palma Green.
I have not seen much chatter here with regards to wraps? |

I am currently thinking about a partial or full wrap/livery as my car was painted 10 years ago and looks pretty good from the proverbial 10 (or 20) feet away but it has some track and freeway battle damage I'd like to fix or 'hide'.
I'd prefer to repair and respray just the worst spots but am skeptical that would match well enough and a full repaint is nowhere on my list/budget at this point. Don't have a new livery or wrap design in mind yet but I may talk to some folks shortly re some ideas and approximate costs. Doubtful I would try to wrap the car myself as it seems very labor intensive and unforgiving and if I messed it up I know it would bug the crap out of me. Just doing race numbers and decals cleanly can be challenging. Although a local friend has done a couple of 997s successfully DIY which look great and he may be up for helping a bit... |

I printed/wrapped my 914. Still have to tackle the GT flares (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
The front and rear trunk lids were super easy. The doors, only slightly more difficult. The quarters are going to be a challenge. I have the vinyl, just haven't taken the time to install. I did a test wrap in white on the front driver side and ended up with only a few wrinkles. Been watching YT videos and think I have it figured out now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |
