Question Vinyl Graphics?


I want to get some vinyl graphics for my car. Probably white tribal. But I really don't know much about it. Pricing? Life? Worth it?

I don't believe its that expensive
Possibly take some tribal cutouts and take it to your local sticker shop and see what they can do?

Re: Vinyl Graphics?

it can get expensive depending on the quality of the vinyl used, and how complex the design, at my shop we do full wraps and its expensive

Re: Vinyl Graphics?

also keep in mind that applying vinyl graphics will cut the life ofthe paint in almost half due to heat build up and entrapment under vinyl if Ya live in a sunny area!!

Re: Vinyl Graphics?

was actually told that by a local vinyl shop. Due to size of hood and excessive heat from engine and sun they told me the paint life underneath would effectively be cut in half! Were they mistaken or just not wantin my business???

Thanks!!

Re: Vinyl Graphics?

white might stand out a bit too much. Maybe a darker color?
