Thread: Stealth or Panda?

There is no way wrapping a car will ever be equal to or greater than a good paint job as far as cost. Even if you buy all the tools you need, which if you're considering wrapping a car yourself you should already have most of the tools needed.

However, it's the same with wrapping or painting. Prep work is everything!!

its my lil bros car.. actually a pimer paint mix..

i seen a car wrapped in gloss vynil and it looks way better than paint

Apparently you haven't seen good paint before. Good paint is a thing of beauty.

You will never get depth out of vinyl.

i totally agree.

what i was trying to say is id rather pay the 600 dollar macoo job and have paint with a few runs and some over spray that i can wet sand/buff out and clean up then vinyl.

im in for pics when its finally done.

Exactly. My dad has a contract with Macco so we have used them for a few different cars we have owned over the years. As long as the paint is even a nice wet sand and buff makes a world of difference.

The FL sun is going to kill that vinyl.

I'm going to go with that vinyl group buy.

Once more, this is a 16 year old, 200k-mi G20, I'm not going for a DEEP $3000 paint job, the car is barely worth $1800, (only because it's a 5-speed touring).

My options are: Paint it myself (Now that I think about it, I do know a place with a paint booth), paint it with maaco (**** if I'm going to go through all the prep work in order to still pay them $400+ for some high schooler to spray my car), or vinyl wrap.

how exactly are you going to get clean edges on all the panels ?

that GTR is sex. Just saying.
