I've got a 100% wrapped Trans Am with custom graphics. I have only had it out once(under construction currently).

I was thinking about putting it in the car show in the shootout in Memphis, but i feel a little against it, as the car isn't done yet to run. The wrap was done by a shop in Memphis.

ANYTHING can be airbrushed. And it WILL always turnout better than vinal. But you will pay for it. And on a drag car...theres no reason to go crazy on paint when you can go vinal, just because most drag cars arent show cars. The select few that are, pay for it.

Sure,

Mine, without any "sponsorship" is in the $3k range. Something that definately would have been alot higher to reproduce with airbrush and/or paint. Mine is a little over the top, so a basic wrap would be a little cheaper.



If you get pissed or just decide to get rid of the wrap, mine is 3M; It tears right off with minimal to any residue left over! Nice feature.

Show some examples. I'll be happy to change my opinion if you can prove otherwise.

I'm an artist. There are things that CANNOT be duplicated as well with paint as it can with vinyl. Take the JESEL Dodge truck for instance....there is no way to produce the photos used all over the wrap as well with an airbrush as you can with a computer.
