Just had the clio plastidipped.

and I then find out I won a competition to have my car wrapped for free!

Arrrrghhhhhh

Take someone elses car who wants it wrapping and charge them what you paid for yours?

Diagro · 28 Dec 2014 at 18:42

Unfortunately I had to say what car I had when iI entered. And it's only applicable for me and my car.
I had though of doing a raffle on the clio sport forum but can't

Perhaps the wrap might look less ***** than being plasti dipped?

OhEsEcks · 28 Dec 2014 at 19:54

Just think of the pleasure you'll derive from picking the plastidip off. Like picking a particularly meaty scab. Then get it wrapped.

MooMoo444 · 28 Dec 2014 at 20:15

Wrap in a decent colour will look much better. Especially when you know it's free!

Diagro · 28 Dec 2014 at 20:16

Lmao. Yea that should be fun. And very time consuming to remove it all hahah

What is the timescale for getting it wrapped? Could you leave it a year by which time the plastidip may be less than perfect?

end of april.

so its booked in on the first week i get off as i work in a school - 30th march.

My wife sees it as a waste of £300 spent on the plastidip, but i see it as a £300 payment towards a much more expensive wrap

The plastidip finish doesn't look great IMHO, a proper vinyl wrap will be loads better if it's a good ooutfit doing it. Needs to be a good colour too!

Diagro · 28 Dec 2014 at 22:25

That's the problem now will.

no idea what colour to go with.

Blue, Orange, Yellow are up there at the moment.

Hadn't come across plastidip before!
I assume this is across the whole vehicle?

Now I understand why I keep seeing the same Audi R8 (reg the same) with different colours all the time.

If you can't decide, you could always have each panel a different colour.

It looks great!

Will · 28 Dec 2014 at 23:49

I'd go for yellow. Liquid yellow looks great but is rare....pick a similar shade!

OhEsEcks · 29 Dec 2014 at 08:04

If I was getting a car wrapped I'd just go with the most mental and revolting thing I could get on the car. Like the camo Balotelli had on his Bentley. Or snake skin. Or chrome.

You know you want to.

These are the colours:
available glossy colours:
black
white
primrose yellow
sunflower yellow
orange
bright red
deep red
ultra marine blue

Which? Not yellow

JonnyGeee · 30 Dec 2014 at 00:08

BLUE CHROME

MooMoo444 · 30 Dec 2014 at 09:21

Orange is pretty uncommon, I'd go for that personally.
