For a decent wrap at a decent shop you’d be in all of $3-4K, if not much more…this was a couple years ago when I looked.
Maybe with dipping on the scene, the wrapping costs are coming down, but dipping isn’t ever going to be as nice a finish as wrapped,
I’m very familiar with the dipyourcar crew, Fonzie set up shop several bays down from USP Motorsports. I’ve seen the results and haven’t seen anything overly impressive other than the cost.
Good point regarding the maintenance and overall appearance longer term for vinyl.
I may dip my shitbox car this year, just for fun since it’s cheap. There’s damage but I’d just repair, then prime the damaged sections, wetsand, then dip.
FWIW jupiter, you could just dip your car the colour you want first, see what you think, then get it wrapped if you like it. It’s so cheap. And if you’re going to see more track rash (lol) it’s not a bad idea. Most track cars aren’t that pretty anyway, at least not the fast ones…
What I’m thinking…
^^^pretty funny!
How do you get all the plastidip off an entire car in an hour? I spent over an hour per wheel, and it still wasnt completely off.
I plastidipped my wheels. Looked pretty good at first and was surprisingly durable. When I wanted to take it off, however, it was a nighmare. I had put multiple coats on but some areas on the spokes were thinner. The thinner areas didnt peel off well at all. It was like scrapping off all these little peices bit by painstaking bit. And there are areas that you just cant get into well, which is a real pain. Eventually, I just sold the wheels at a discounted rate and let the next guy deal with it.
