You keep mentioning your "public statement" about razor cuts, which only makes me roll my eyes and say "BIG DEAL".

Put it in writing in a warranty or it's worthless. For $4k the install should be absolute perfection.

The big setback I see with doing this rather than paying for a repaint is that the door sills, etc. will still be the original paint, and there will be a line where the vinyl stops and the paint starts. So everytime someone opens their door, it will look unfinished, correct?

I'm concerned about this too

Are all the vinyl's matte color or do they come in glossy color as well? Will it look like a new paint job? Interested in wrapping (or repainting) my car an "IS-F ultrasonic blue" type of color.

The assumption in your statement is that it is not in writing. Actually it is in writing on all of our invoices along with warranty cards

Certainly door sills, and other parts of the car such as engine bay, undersides of hood are not filmed.

As for a repaint, if it is not a concern for those about resale, then it is certainly a viable option.

We can provide a matted finish to a variety of colors. However, we do not believe the glossy films are up to our standards - too much orange peel.

looks very good!

Can you post a picture of an open door where the vinyl stops revealing the original paint? Does the vinyl stop at the edge or is it wrapped into the edge?

Thank you. We did not take any pictures with the doors open, but the edges are wrapped and tucked wherever possible. For those local, the customer will likely be driving his car much more and showing it at local events. You will be able to see it in person.

That is an outstanding wrap job. The only thing lacking on the car is a proper drop.

So the vinyl can be painted on? Also, what kind of topcoating are you using? Please elaborate. Thanks.
