Vinyl Car wrapping By (carbon skin)

Post by platmatt8 »

Has any body heard of or had dealings with a company called carbon skin who vinyl wrap cars started to look into it as my car needs a respray.

Not had a price list through but the vinyl is gaurented for 5 years and if you have a bump or scratch then peel it off and apply new (no blending for metalics)

I always thought matt black vinyl wraps were reserved for chavs with a massive imbalance between money and taste. Normally found on innocent, underserving Italian supercars.

my personal opinion is the matt or satin black is the best colour for cars with lots of carbon.

Although with £20 it maybe with the vinyl wrap apperently there is none of the associtated marks that the black primer can get i.e hand/finger grease.
