Thinking of wrap or plastidip, advice appreciated!

Post by MollytheMkII »

Hi,

Got a quote for 500-600 (depending on some options) to wrap the whole car, and I've previously been quoted a fair bit less for plastidip but I'm not convinced by the method yet.

Has anyone had a plastidip done before and could compare it to a vinyl wrap?

Thanks,
Chris

Don't wrap it its a moisture trap and the car will rot underneath it and you don't know it's happening. I've just Un-wrapped a t25 and its a right mess underneath.
