W203 Car Wrapping DIY

[varangy]

Hi guys

Just I would to making a car wrapping around my lovely merc, some similar that U see on the photo below.

What you think guys, can I do these works myself with a decoration routine? Actually, I never did this, but I had a permanent job on the graphics and design factory, before few years ago, and had a lot of different outdoors job, with similar foils. So is not a first time than I meet with this foils.
Can you give any advise, how to do, what the level of the difficulty of these works, please?
Any cold and warm advise will be appreciated
Thanks and the stars be with you

Great colour!

Yes, it's amazing.
Just Im find a cheap solution for wrapping, instead an expensive 3M and Avery foils, can U see here.

The foils will be cheapest than £150 all together, what is needed for an average size cars.

What could possibly go wrong ?

There's always orange emulsion?

Cheap and if there's any left over you can also paint the bathroom.

Dont buy cheap wrap as it is impossible to put on correctly especially if there are a few contours.

It is hard enough to do properly so get the decent stuff and give yourself half a chance.

@kenny, I don't see any standard chrome/silver look wrap, can you point my in the right direction? I have two 1950s bumpers to wrap, to chrome them will be the thick end of a grand!!!!

Thanks

Wash it, dry it, buy a cheap electric garden fence sprayer and spray it with this.

I was just after looking at that, I'd need two metres then, bumper about that length and get the two of them done if 1.52 m wide, £38 versus £1000!!!

I think, they can provide continous lenght untill 50m, as the max size of the reel.

I have a professionally applied Matt aluminium wrap on the roof of my Subaru. Three years on it looks terrible. It has badly stained and discoloured in patches. No-one can offer any advice on how to clean it and I will probably have to remove it. Looked good to start with but In the long term a complete waste of money an time
