It's just to get attention...people that buy those cars and put wraps on them aren't car enthusiasts... I like how that guy decorated his Ford Ka to fit in w/ the gold Lambo and G-wagen.

Conversely...the wrap does protect the paint. Drive the wrapped car for a couple of years, peel the wrap, perfect scratch-free paint underneath. And really, why not have a little fun with it. I kind of dig some of the camo. The winter camo on the Gallardo with ski box looks good to me. And he drives it in the winter. I'd totally do that.

Yes,but the wrap has to be tastefully done.And yes your right,I do agree with you about the "snow"Lamborghini.It looks pretty wild,and I have also seen guys race these cars in the snow,and it's pretty wild stuff.

espo Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 (edited) The last few years I have noticed that a lot of commercial vehicles have all of their company information and advertising done with a wrap instead of paint . Besides protecting the body paint it would make their trucks much more saleable when decommissioned for resale. For the last ten years we have had all of our cars front sheet metal and headlights covered in a clear wrap and they all look almost as good as new after 100k miles. The last one we didn't do was our '98 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP. The nose of the car was so pitted from "road rash" that we almost had to paint it to sell it. KDOT and local municipalities use so much grit on the roads during the winter months that it gets to be like driving in a sand storm when the snow melts and this just destroys the paint finish on the leading edge of a car or truck.

BURNING MAN FESTIVAL. I've seen the giant VW Bus "Walter" in Jerome, that was there. Black Rock Desert turns into a town of 40,000 pot heads, sex addicts, and wealthy artists. That's where Andy Green broke the speed record and sound barrier, which still stands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You weren't alone with that idea - you just brought back a 50-some-year-old childhood memory of being out in the country with my dad and seeing a black-over-silver '64 Bonneville on chrome reverses, with a badly-battered driver's side quarter and OUCH spraypainted across it.
