Vinyl wrapping looks like the best way to avoid ever seeing crazing. My convertible needs re-painting so might look at wrap instead
Re: Mk 3 Q705CPF
Would be great to see some close up pictures of the wrap joints.

yes, the joins are at the roof line. Photos to comeJin wrote:Wow that looks fantastic, total transformation,

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 !!
Re: Mk 3 Q705CPF
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.

Re: Mk 3 Q705CPF
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 !!!mfdriver wrote:Interested in the wrap which I considered before having my car sprayed.

Re: Mk 3 Q705CPF
Thanks for the close ups, not so bad those joints. As good as is possible given the car shape I think. Looks great !
