Vinyl car wrap
I'm looking into wrapping my 09 w204 in vinyl and trying to get some opinions. Do it or not? Ups and downs? How much you\someone you know paid? Color ideas?

Here's the car I will be working with https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w...ml#post5676647

Post pictures and opinions. Thanks!

Nobody??? I'm torn between these two. Gallardo's Brushed Black Metal or Fisker's Brushed Steel. Thoughts?

I wrapped my w204.
I did it myself.
If you have patience (and a lot of it), it might be something you want to look into.

I like the original color a lot. I just want to save that paint from idiots bumping into it while they park.

There's also the fully plasti-dipping your car. It's cheaper, removable, and they have a variety of different colors.

Always another option.

I guess that would be an option. I think vinyl is more durable from what I've read though.


Anyone have a color suggestion? Gloss or Matte? Brushed or smooth finish?
