Fancy graphics involves printing = $$$

Panel van is plenty surface area = $$$

Seeing that Trinidad car scene mostly compromise of ricers, I think water transfer printing might make a killing there.. A friend of mine does race car wheels, interior panels and other stuff in CF patten and even wood grain finishes.. It's not limted to cars only. You can also do household items etc.. Might make a good business opportunity for someone :idea: http://www.watertransferprinting.com/Home.html

I am pretty sure that for 800 dollars, they won't do your bonnet in the 3M DiNoc vinyl.
Depending on the size of the hood, it's gonna cost significantly more than that.

For those with experience:

I'm considering doing my hood/bonnet in matte black. How resistant is the vinyl to chips caused by stones on the highway? What about grease smears on the matte finish; will there be a shiny spot for long? And generally, does the higher temperature of this area cause bubbles/warping in the vinyl?

RX8 look baaaad !


I wonder how the vinyl holds up to UV over time ? The sun is a killer, even for some paints.

I might seriously consider vinyl wrapping, if i knew someone here, that could do a decent job.
