Default Wrapping a car?

Someone keyed my car i only bought 3 days ago

Its a mk3 mondeo ST220 in black, looks like theyve walked around it with a flatblade screwdriver looks horrendous. a few cars got done in the same street.

I want to look at vinyl wrapping it, ive fitted window tint film, sunvisors and what not before, so pretty handy with fiddly stuff. Next question is how much will the vinyl cost me, and where can i purchase it from?

I thought it would be relatively easily on a mondeo? mind you ive just been looking at some being doing and a few of them ive seen put the whole sheet of vinyl over the car first and then cut around the edges etc? I was under the impression it was done panel by panel, only tricky bits i thought there would be would be the ffront bumper?
What does the vinyl itself cost? for matt black? thanks

no mate its not easy on any cars to be honest without practice. Most panels have a lot more curves than you think. Go to the corner of your mondy roof and lay a newspaper on it and try and lay it flat on one of the corners, you'll notice the curvature of the and a crease!

Cost wise depends on the amount of vinyl, on average 20 - 25 metres is needed. Matt black is a little dearer than normal gloss (wrapping my Audi matt black as we speak) but not horrendous. Pm me if you wish!
