Default Vinyl Work on my car!

I do Vinyl Graphics/Work on cars on saterdays with my co-worker. We do anything from a simple stickers to full on show cars. He has been doing it for over 10 years, I have about a month of experience. Some work I did on my car. Some of you guys might of seen my car Saterday at the Diamond bar meet. Its boring thought I'd share. Opinions welcome. This is Flat Black. Reason I covered the headlights is bc One was repainted and was a different shade and didnt have money for repaint.





When I was barely installing the vinyl!

Couple other cars he has done.

that is a great idea for the sail panel. Did your sail panel had bubbles before? Do you think it would be ok if i covered over them?

Thanks guys, No my Panel was as smooth as silk. No bubbles. I know out cars are **** to bubble up. Im pretty sure if the clear starts to go out, Some wet sanding just to smooth it out then Vinyl over would make it look so much better. And I mean you can Get pretty much any color. Glossy or flat black. The options are endless.

If its a hardtop Camaro its Around $120 for the Sail panel and the roof. Its a High performance 8 year vinyl. None of that cheap crap they use at your average Sticker shop. The Install is whats expensive. Its very time consuming. To do one camaro its at least 3 hours.
