SP450andLE Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Right, so... Does anyone know where to get Vinyl wrapping done? Or if it is even possible? I'm talking about a vinyl roof sort of thing. Except on a bonnet. Chur in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKtrips Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Do you mean vinyl as in the stuff they make stickers out of or an actual vinyl roof? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SP450andLE Posted August 29, 2011 Author Share Posted August 29, 2011 I mean proper vinyl, like a vinyl roof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QCADTA Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 sounds interesting. good way to trap heat in your engine bay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonK Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 maybe an auto upholsterer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drtdvl Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Most race cars are vinyl warps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goindf Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Definitely an Auto Upholsterer for the material/cloth type Vinyl. Just the same as doing an OS Vinyl Roof Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1337cookie Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 This sort of thing right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SP450andLE Posted August 29, 2011 Author Share Posted August 29, 2011 This sort of thing right? No, like this. And I will have a scoop on the bonnet too, so the whole heat issue isn't going to be a problem. So an auto-upholsterer it is then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seedy Al Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Fuck i love vinyl roofs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SP450andLE Posted August 29, 2011 Author Share Posted August 29, 2011 Me too. But I thought it would be different to have a vinyl bonnet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjrstar Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Will it be hard wearing enough to cope with stone rash and mashed in bugs? Also that stuff can be a bit of haven for moisture/rust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SP450andLE Posted August 30, 2011 Author Share Posted August 30, 2011 Should be sweet with the stones. And I'm guessing there's something you could coat it with to keep off moisture, and make it easy to clean bugs off? I'm considering getting a fibreglass bonnet to avoid the rust. Otherwise I'll just try to avoid using that bonnet in the rain (will have another bonnet for everyday driving) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Its fine for moisture/rust if you have a decent coat of paint under it, POR15 under it and it will never rust. Allot of yank cars only had primer under the vinyl which made things worse, also if its installed correctly it will take years to lift and get water under it Cant say I think its a good idea to do the bonnet though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SP450andLE Posted August 30, 2011 Author Share Posted August 30, 2011 Cant say I think its a good idea to do the bonnet though Reasons? I'm just wanting to get different opinions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Star Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 This is an amazing plan, will probably wear better than paint anyway... plus will look awesome!!!! doit Edit: BEIGE!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoKer Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 increased resistance for 1 weight 2 and thus fuel economy by extrapolation 3 all minor increases by any imagination, by all means do it, cant hurt to give it ago as you said you have a spare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKtrips Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 TBH - It will look like someone took a massive shit on your bonnet then spread it round with a fro comb.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
