A little recognition for the pros
i just wanna take a little time to recognize the the professionals who work on peoples cars and really know what they're doing.. especially vinyl wrap professionals at the moment, i don't know how you guys do it.
i just tried to wrap my mirrors and i could not do it. Not even if my life would have depended on it.. i was doing good, i had to the bottom and top part done (i was doing it in sections) but when it was time to do the ridge in the middle i just couldn't get it to stay. long story short, i got frustrated and ripped it all off. im staying a way from plasti dip this time so i need to get it professionally done. i got quoted once $300 for the mirrors and $300 for the spoiler. how does that sound? anyway to those people that can wrap a whole car... |

Agreed. I had my whole car done and watched a good portion of it. the installers were amazing: from fastidious prep to compound curves to making virtually invisible seams. No way I could even remotely come close. They said it takes doing at least a hundred cars to become fully proficient.
Also a shout out to all those tuners who fabricate their own lines, brackets, catch cans, etc. and make the under-hood area a work of art with perfect welds, angles and stainless steel. |

saying that the mirrors on our cars can be wrapped is just like saying "anything is possible". guy who does my wrap says if I ever want my mirrors done he'd just dip or paint the. many wrapped cars mirrors are dipped or painted to match the wrap. especially is you see a wrapped car with black mirrors.
