So as I'm a crazy person and don't fancy a standard looking car I have had another crazy idea to wrap the car in the future . So does anyone know anyone who can do this plus a rough estimate of cost . I know it won't be to everyones taste but by the time wheels go on , and other mad idea parts I think my idea will look ace

Not sure on cost, but I believe it tends to be cheaper than a respray.

I would want to see examples of a company’s work in the metal before committing to it.

I know someone who's had his wrapped, I believe it was £1500. Did look good though.

Seen a few vehicles wrapped and looks ace but what I have in mind might involve a bit more . Was thinking of maybe air brushing or find a graffiti artist or 2 at the uni ok in the city after a project , paint supplied I'm not looking for a show winner. Now for something completely different

Phewww how much mmmm if I was good at art the rattle cans from the motor factors would be out

Big fan of the rat look to but not on the mx6

Have you thought about only wrapping parts of the car, rather than the whole thing, it might help to keep the costs down? I guess it depends on how good the rest of the paintwork is like?

Well one bit of welding was done so a six inch square on rear of a cill is blacked and front bumper was silver hence the sticker bombing on it which people seem to like . One mirror casing has worn through to undercoat and a couple of car park dinks . In truth the paint work would mop up well but spent many years going to shows and spending 2 days cleaning before hand was going for a real turn head custom look a proper one off .

I keep thinking about the rat look, but then again my MX6 is halfway there already.

Is it do you have any pics ?. I was thinking if I rat looked it had it in my head including using old metal road signs inside and a pair of aero seats and harness and cage , remove the back seats and carpets . Love the raw rat look but can I do it .
