Default For all those who want to paint- Shrink Wrap!!

I own a triple White Campanella vert. that my wife wants to paint a light pink color.

My solutuion to not lowering the value of the car and for re-sale down the road was to shrink/car wrap the entire car.

Does anyone have any experience in this or know of a good place to have it done? I live in the NorthEast(NJ).

Good choice!!! There's a member on here who has done just that, AND with pink. I'll see if I can't find the thread. This comes up regularly.

Here's a great "trimmed in pink" of another member, probably won't work as well on white though.

Can't find the thread or post from the Org Member who did this, but it was excellent. Perhaps someone remembers and can direct you to her. I've been thru all the "pink" threads back several years. Perhaps I missed it.

Found the damn thread, just had to really do some digging. Not on the Org. On a British forum I'm a member of, but don't visit often.

I'm sure the Poster will be able to help. As the owner of the Bug's Profession is doing the wrapping

I'm in se pa. Just west of Philly. There are a couple of wrap shops by me. I opted for custom graphics over a full wrap on lady. Cost is under $800 and the wrap is good for 3-5 years depending on the elements (if you don't garage keep the beetle I'd consider investing in a pop up shelter if you do the wrap
