Is the W49 car actually painted or did they do it with vinyl?

I'm not sure, actually. Someone on the LT forum said it looks like they took a white Lancer and put pink vinyl on it, but it kinda looks painted to me??

instead of painting it, why dont you just get the whole car in vynil, it will be way cheaper and if you dont like it, you can always take it off. talk to Mike at shinzo workz and he can do it.

Thats the plan!! That way I save my "Limited Edition" Electric Blue paint lol

I'm just waiting for a company here to get back to me. I was told the price would be anywhere between $800 and $4500 depending on the size of vehicle and what you want done graphics wise.

So I sent him the picture and am just waiting for him to get back to me.

theres a new technique (not really new, but w/e) called wrapping. it is done with some 3m tape specially designed for vehicles, and it has a gloss layer, much like how a paintjob would look on a car (i.e. clearcoat, waxed; shiny). you can basically give your car a new 'paint job' but when you're sick of the color just peel off the tape.

it costs on average 2-5 thousand to do the whole car, depending on how curvy/edgy the car is. for reference i met a guy who did it on a bmw 3 series and cost him under 3000. the results it definitely is worth the investment (plus you can switch colors up once in a while)

Thats exactly what I plan on doing rontam The guy I talked to said the wrap will stay good for about 3-5 years before it starts showing wear & tear.

He told me the same thing, the curvier the car, the more expensive, same with design, the more stuff you want, the more expensive.

He said it starts at $800 and can go as high as $4500 so I'll have to bring my car over and he's gonna measure it and such.

Here's my final idea... its not a very well drawn idea haha but it'll look good I think.
