Bottom line is you get what you pay for even if you do it yourself. I have been really swamped this week but I hope to put together some info and pricing on material and where to get them this week end. |

If it's just the roof you are doing, go to a sign or vehicle restyling company and get them to do it for you for a couple hundred. Last edited by xtreme_sign_guy; 04-30-2010 at 10:42 AM.. |

A9 is good stuff for box trucks with rivets. it is what they use on railway cars for the DOT numbers and such because of the aggressive glue. It is very thin and rips very easy when you get rough with it. Wrapping a bumper you get really rough with it.

Stains
They are both vinyl so what stains one will stain the other but I have never seen anything really stain vinyl. On a gloss lam it it gets a scratch or something on it you can buff it out just like paint. With the matte finish you are screwed if you get a scratch in it. Minor ones can be taken out with heat if you are careful.

Don't slam us for asking, you came on here to slam the OP for using sub-par material because you know better. When we start asking what's best, you slam us for not paying you to do it. Why not just say that from the beginning then we'll know not to ask you anything....
Since the largest part of this kind of work is labor, it's of course the easiest way to save money since DIY is all about removing the cost of labor. Now, if you don't have anything constructive to offer, just relax and watch as we re-invent the wheel. I'll say this however, once I figure out how to do it with some success, I'll gladly share my findings for FREE. :P Steve |

Since you want to come at me with and attitude you can go screw yourself and go pay 3k for wrap training like the some of us all ready have. Only a small portion of them succeed with there first few wraps. Go waste your time and money and I will just keep my knowledge to myself. |
