    the new wraps look great, just as good as a new paint job, they are huge in the turner world over seas. what kind of wrap are you looking at? loud and busy, color change or multicolored, I dont know of any shops locally but shouldnt be hard to find

        As long as it does not get to over-busy or cluttered, it should look fine. And the company you posted does very good work, we have had numerous trucks lettered by them before they started doing wraps. They are based in Ovid.

        p.s. that truck you posted is wicked

            I've always wondered how much wraps cost... I've wanted to do a wrap on my Trailblazer to advertise MiFbody.

              I have designed 3 wraps now for our big F350 diesel at work. They work very well. We are really rough on the truck and they hold up very well. Obviously you can get as clean or gaudy as you want. I would go to a a reputable place. There was a pretty big difference between the first and the second company that did the wrap on our truck. One thing to be very careful of is fuel. Dripping on the material delaminates it. The solvent based ink will be fine, it will just bubble off the car. Our truck is just plain huge, but it cost $3800 and we did the artwork. If they do the art the price can go pretty high. Speedmedia in Grand Rapids did our last wrap and did a great job. Very clean. Here is a link to their work. Ours is the massive Medallion logo truck near the top of the list. Let me know if there are any other specific questions. I might be able to answer.

                A good wrap will last about 3 years. Probably get 5 out of a garaged vehicle. That is for the actual solvent based ink and material. The real wear comes in on the adhesive, and the location of the cuts that would allow rain/ mud to penetrate behind it. Bad cut designs can lead to a much shorter time.

                  1500 was for full custom wrap installed. I would guess it would prolly cost you like no more than a grand if you didn't get to fancy and it wasn't a full wrap. You could sponsor some of my wrap and I would put mifbody in the wrap

                          Yea Charlie is a really good friend of mine. We built that truck in our shop. Paul does great work at accu pro. The first pic is at his house when he first got the paddles. The second pic is when he ran down in north Carolina. If you ever see the cracked window on his truck that's from me. Lol
