TR2/3/3A An odd thought.....vinyl wrap a TR3?

[karls59tr]

Wonder what that would cost? There is not a lot of surface area compared to larger cars and I don't think the body curves would be that challenging to apply?

No reason why not.
but wrapping does need a very good paint base as it shows up any imperfection.
I thought a brushed aluminium would suit !!?
A mate (Deggers) on another forum did a photo shop for me

I like that look. That's sort of a "pattined" brushed aluminum look. Makes me wonder what a "newer cleaner" brushed aluminum vinyl would look like?

Now days it's so common that every city has many wrappers. Just take it down to one and ask what they want.

I was going to do that for the 250 nose stripes. Was told 5 years is the life expectancy, did not think it was worth it for the price.

Why would you do that. I'm not familiar with vynal wrap.

My boys do it at their Tint A Car shop in Cannington.

I'm up here in Canada so not practical to use them. Could you ask them what they would think a ball park figure would be to vinyl wrap a TR3? Thanks,

Lionel, it's mostly used for advertising. You can make it look like your car is painted in very detailed graphics...but they are simply printed onto vinyl, and then the vinyl is stretched over the entire car, boat, etc. I am sure you have seen it, but just did not realize it is vinyl. Even race cars do it to save having to paint every time they "rub" on the track now days.

You can also wrap in mirror silver reflective vinyl to make your car look like polished stainless, gold, copper, or any other cool fake metal. Whenever Bass Pro or other big companies raffle off a car or truck, they usually have it wrapped in their logo, so the winner advertises for them while driving.
