Make sure you get it professionally done as the Camaro has so many curves. post the pics after you get her done.

Have never seen this done besides advertising. Did they do your truck door wells(jambs)? Seems like that would be a tough area to cover.

Doing a whole vehicle can be daunting but like I said it's much cheaper and for the price of a wrap you can have your car Plasti dipped 5 or 6 different times.

If you can live with the overspray that's the only reason I'm not plastidipping mine, I did my wheels and the overspray in the barrel was a pita to remove it's still there I need to get some thinners on it now

For what it is worth my neighbor had his truck wrapped with his business logo, and it looked great, and still does form a distance, but up close it looks faded and old. I do not know his maintenance practice, and I am guessing it has been about 5 years. The truck is always left out. We live in the coastal southeast, so hot summer sun and salt air are not helping the situation.

I don't know what brand of vinyl he has, but I got 3M and the vinyl warranty is 3 years with expected life of 5-7 according to 3M. I am sure this is best case with good maintenance but only time will tell.

I tried a bunch of orange cleaners with no luck :(

GooGone or something like that. They sell it everywhere. Paint safe and you can take off plasti-dip in no time!

the doors are wrapped around by about a 1/2" but nothing where you would step or in where the hinges are etc. it is really just the exterior surfaces. I got a great deal from a guy who was just starting out and wanted practice, I like what was done but I would not give him my Camaro to "practice" on. it was a win / win for us both he got experience and I got a wrap for a good price.

I am a huge fan of Matte Blue myself. I would definitely consider it, if I didn't already love my black cars.

$3,000 is about right for a full, highly detailed vinyl wrap.

I've heard from most people that you have a few options when it comes to wrapping.

1. $750-$1,200....Might look good from 15+ feet, but up close you can see the imperfections. This is for people who just want a color change.

2. $1,500-$2,500....It will be almost perfect, still some slight imperfections, but they will do door jambs etc.

3. $3,000+....perfect wrap, body panels taken off, no imperfections, looks perfect up close, show car status.

It really depends how long you plan on keeping the wrap.

This color really pops, I love it!

Matte and chrome wraps look the best IMO
