Default Sapphire Wrap!!!!

right, you may hate me for even thinking this....

I'm building a white 4x4 sapphire. Needs a few bits of paint work etc.
I've had the front bumper cut out, black wheels, and a bit of a mean look.

However, I work for a sign company, and wrapping it, would be much cheaper than paint.

And can get hold of a gloss white, which looks similar to diamond white.

What do you guys think?

i dont see the problem with wrapping it especially as you can get it done cheap just dont wrap over the rust i'm sure you wont and will be getting the rust sorted properly (even if the paint doesnt match as that wont be important if wrapping).

go for it mate, though i do agree some sort of design would be nice.

It's not a bad shell. Not too much rust. But that will be sorted

Pac man would be cool

Was just thinking white or something?
