how about vehicle wrapping? have some mad design printed onto vinyl and wrap the whole car I used to do vehicle wrapping for a living wouldn't be a difficult car to do though.


How much do you think that would cost??



about £1000 for a decent job including design

Rubbed and rattle can. Looks stealthy and different.

Not sure the satin finish would stand the test of time. Dust and hand prints show up badly. How would you clean get bugs bird poop off etc. This is what has been going through my mind at the moment.

Think I will be sticking to calypso red

Yeah been looking you can get semi gloss clear coats and to can mix some kinda additive to vary how glossy/matt you want it. but I think it would still be a pain to look after IMO I prefer gloss finish easy to polish out a little scratch or touch up stone chips. But i was very tempted to go for the satin black until I saw tried to clean it etc My mate is gonna do a respray for me at a good price so, think it easy and cheap for me keep with the red.
