A little recognition for the pros

Jdelgado92 · 05-25-2016, 07:41 PM

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...

I had my spoiler done for $200 and quoted on the mirrors at 125 for the set. But they claimed they couldn't do the mirrors in one piece.

But I agree, a good wrap shop has some patient and talent folks within.

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.
