Wow that looks fantastic, total transformation,
Did they manage to do the sides in one piece?

Vinyl wrapping looks like the best way to avoid ever seeing crazing. My convertible needs re-painting so might look at wrap instead

Would be great to see some close up pictures of the wrap joints.

yes, the joins are at the roof line. Photos to come

I have to say that some of the very tight corners defeated the vinyl a bit and some remedial work will have to be done to put that right, but it certainly has covered up the awful gel coat very well !!

Interested in the wrap which I considered before having my car sprayed.
I was advised that vinyl wrap would not hide any crazing or cracks and that they would soon show through, as would any pitting or blemishes on the body.
Guess it all depends with wrap or spray how much time one is prepared to spend on prep. work
Looks like a great result.

I worried about the potential for blemishes to show through, so did some remedial orbital sander work on the worst areas before the wrap. So far, seems to have worked ok and they do not show through. Time will tell I guess !!!

Thanks for the close ups, not so bad those joints. As good as is possible given the car shape I think. Looks great !
