Certified Car Wrappers http://www.certifiedwrappers.com Car Wraps, Car Wrapping, Car Wrap Price Fri, 23 Jul 2010 18:46:31 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 en hourly 1 Is a camo vinyl car wrap a good idea to cover paint fading? http://www.certifiedwrappers.com/car-wrap-price/is-a-camo-vinyl-car-wrap-a-good-idea-to-cover-paint-fading http://www.certifiedwrappers.com/car-wrap-price/is-a-camo-vinyl-car-wrap-a-good-idea-to-cover-paint-fading#comments Fri, 23 Jul 2010 18:46:31 +0000 admin http://www.certifiedwrappers.com/car-wrap-price/is-a-camo-vinyl-car-wrap-a-good-idea-to-cover-paint-fading I just bought a 2002 cavalier coupe with low miles. The car runs great its a 5 speed manual with a sunroof, etc, blah blah…. The only problem is that a few years ago a lot of dark colored GM cars did not do so well with their clear coat. So the clear coat has been baked off a bit on the roof. Dark colors attract heat which overtime baked off some of the clear coat.

So to paint just the roof would be about $400-$1000 which is very expensive, and i know in the future i will have to paint the hood, and the trunk, and those parts will be even more expensive.

So should i get a wrap for the car? It is a black car, and i would get a camo wrap i think. It would cover the cavaliers roof,hood,trunk/spoiler, and a small amount on the doors where it has faded. The rest would be left black, and original unless they also start to fade.

This is what i was thinking. Would it be a good idea? would it look good?

To do the entire top of my car(hood/roof/trunk/spoiler) would be about the same price as just painting the roof of my car.

found a link posted it below to a site that has a suv wrapped in camo. i think it would look good but not just pieces of the car i would do the entire car. they also have a solid black wrap…. hummm i think you should do some research before you decide.

A "Vulcan" .44 Magnum rifle? http://www.certifiedwrappers.com/car-wrap-price/what-the-is-this-thing-a-vulcan-44-magnum-rifle http://www.certifiedwrappers.com/car-wrap-price/what-the-is-this-thing-a-vulcan-44-magnum-rifle#comments Tue, 06 Jul 2010 11:59:44 +0000 admin http://www.certifiedwrappers.com/car-wrap-price/what-the-is-this-thing-a-vulcan-44-magnum-rifle My brother was a cop. He lost his job due to an auto immune disease and is now strapped for cash. He has more guns than he know what to do with and wants to sell off the guns he inherited from our Dad.

My Dad worked in Watts, Los Angeles during the Watts riots. (My Dad was old enough to be my grandfather) he got all paranoid after the riots and bought a bunch of guns. Supposedly, Dad kept a .38 under his car seat wrapped in a towel, and kept this rifle in his trunk.

This is the stangest rifle I have ever seen. It says it was made by a company called "Universal." There are four clips for it. The bore looks fine, but one side has a lot of visible rust on it. I am used to a tubular magazine on a pump action.

This gun is really ugly. When you put the slide forward, all you have is this ugly tube under the barrel in front of the clip.

What would a reasonable price for this thing be?

Vulcan’s were 30cal M1 carbines converted to 357 or 44 mag pump actions.
the originals were converted from rebarreled surplus M1 carbines but they became popular enough that the later ones were manufactured from new receivers & looked a little less clunky than the mil surp jobs..
haven’t seen one in 20 years or so & have no idea what they would sell for now.

I saw it yesterday and he met me halfway (kind gesture just to show someone the car).

Over all the car was cherry, decent body, great paint, ran/sound good, interior finished. It had some quirks and somethings plain out did not work on the bug. (blinkers, couldnt pop the trunk, etc) small things overall.

He was originally wanted 5k, I told him now way past 4. He said he would work with me and 4k was ok.
I told him I want to move forward and I would call him today to see if we can wrap it up. I also went to a local shop that usually answers my questions. They showed me 3 bugs in their shop that people just purchased and now need all 3 of them needed over 1000 to get it ready for the road.

They strongly warned me to get it inspected before I buy…. only problem is he lives so far away and would be a huge nuisance for him. Especially on how this inspection would probably force him to lower his price even more.

suggestions?

You are unreasonable. You are buying a 40 year old car for just 4 grand and this dude has already driven 40 miles to sell it. Get a shop close to the car to look at it, bring a mechanic to it or take a chance on it. Even if you do spend a grand to fix it, you still got a good deal if it is good shape. If you really want this bug jump on it, because he will sell it to someone else or get tired of listening to your demands.

I just want your opinions on what you think! Both are around the same price OTD and have a clean title. I am a college student, only working part time, so I won’t be able to afford anything more extravagant than what I have listed below.

1. Mazda Mazda 3 Sedan
Color: Blue
Year: 2005
Miles: about 60k
Interior: Black Leather (no seat heaters)
This is the touring edition with the 2.3 engine, larger rims, pretty new tires, 6 disc in dash CD player, fog lights, leather wrapped steering wheel.
I love the inside of this car, I also like the larger engine (I drive quite a few huge hills every day on my commute) I am not a huge fan of driving a bright blue car but the color is growing on me, and it seems like EVERY girl drives a Mazda 3, I don’t want to be just another girl in a Mazda. I am also worried about the age of the car.

2. Nissan Versa S Hatchback
Color: White
Year: 2009
Miles: about 20k
Interior: Beige Microfiber
This is pretty much the base model with the exception of the 1.8 engine and CD player. Tires with hubcaps, no center console/armrest. I LOVE the way this car looks on the outside, it’s different and unusual and really cute! I also like that it is a newer car and has a factory warranty on it. The one thing I would change is that it’s lacking storage space. I also would buy new rims and tint the windows.

What are your thoughts? Mostly the year is making me hesitant on the Mazda, and the lack of storage is making me hesitant on the Versa.

the mazda is a better choice.it is more durable, and you are getting more for your money vs. the nissan.the year is a little old but still decent

I live in nyc does anybody know companies that will pay me to advertise on my car? Or who to call? thanks

Sorry, but have you ever seen such a wrapped car? I doubt it.
For all intents and purposes they don’t exist.

I wanted to look into this but I cant really find a good site. Can someone tell me how this works and where I can find a place to do this?

well you could use shrink wrap (used for shipping) that would not ruin the paint. how about Limburger cheese on the muffler/catalytic converter

My question is, how much seran wrap do you think one would need and about how long will it take?

http://www.waw.co.kr/album/00_01/saab/93cv03.jpg

thanks in advance :)

Oh my gosh, that exact thing happened outside my school not so long ago. Someone post it noted a car and so they seran wrapped it! How wierd is that? Anyways, it only took them about half and hour to really cover it however they used A LOT! Like, 50 meters at least.

Saran wrap probably won’t damage the paint as long as it doesn’t melt onto the paint due to extremely high temperatures. I would estimate 15 rolls per car for total covering, but feel free to go up to 20. Or, use a bunch of rolls of duct tape (about 40 per car) for a VERY good seal.
