We're in the process of wrapping a race car for the first time. I'm old school but figured out a way to do a traditional two tone look [think Wynn's Friction Proofing yellow & red] with wrap material purchased on E-Bay. The flat panels went very quickly; curvy stuff is proving to be tricky. Despite the hassles I don't think I'll paint a race car again. The vinyl seems to hold up better on the track. I'll post photos when completed.
Tips so far:
1. Panels need to be ready for paint before you wrap. The vinyl shows off "issues" like spandex on a 300 pound belly dancer.
2. Three sets of very patient & clean hands are best; if you get dirty or impatient you regret it quickly.
3. For our car we needed 50% more vinyl than I first thought.
4. Make sure you have the cleaner, primer, & adhesive recommended along with the squegees.
