Default car wrap

Anyone know what it is, or how much it costs?

(DIY'ing it?)

Ive been told taxi drivers use it quite a lot, and that its cheaper than respraying and it protects the metal from rust (main reason i'm interested)

Cheers

some taxi's round our way have there bonnets roofs and boots done, main reason so it can be put back to normal for no cost but i should think the paint under it would be alot brighter than the rest by the time they take it off.

this can vary in price from Ł1200 to Ł3k. you can wrap them to another colour, or do a full carbon wrap. google a company called racoon or totally dynamic, they have a good vid on their websites of how its done.....

Some of the wraps on those websites look like high res photo's. I thought it might of been a cheaper than what it is. Still interesting though
