Title: Alternative to respray?
Post by: Frikkin Evil on December 03, 2009, 03:56:33 pm
Interesting alternative to a respray...

I'd love to see the results up close. I wonder how long the pigment would last in the vinyl with sunlight/weathering etc.

Interesting alternative I'd heard of this but I've never seen one. Around the same price as respray but with the added benifit that it could be removed. I wonder if they do a metalicy look vinyl

Now that looks pretty impressive!! If only I had a way of justifying the expense, mmm, and having the money in the first place......

Im just wondering how durable the stuff is, and how easily removable it. Looks pretty good though!

theres a 106 round this way with like a blue camoflage design, looks quite good but like previously said, how good is it on close up?

and at @£1500 for 5 years, its a tad expensive. Just give me a good paint job, that i can keep for 10 years +

Isn't that just normal vinyl? Looks nice though.
