Hey so after a long hard think, I have decided that I'm going to vinyl wrap my car matte black I was just wondering if anyone knew where to get this done in Queensland or if anyone here has done it before and wants to do my car for a bit of cash?

dstocks (dwayne) has done it...check his build threads.
I think he is planning to hold a small tutorial session on how to do vinyl wraps at the Bonfire. If you are coming to the bonfire, it should help you out.

Yep, my whole car has been done in Pitch Blue Metallic Hexis. I get it from here:

If you are going to do it yourself, buy good quality vinyl. The metallic I bought is about $45 a metre, but the plain colours will be a lot cheaper.
I will be doing a tutorial at the bonfire. Have also thought about offering to do cars for people as well, but havent moved on it just yet. Here is my build thread:

Not really. And ive stuffed a couple of big panels. Make it 20m to be safe and do the biggest bits first otherwise you end up with a whole stack of large off cuts that just arent quite big enough.

Thats a good price. Be aware though,that wont get your door sills done in all likelyhood. My orange wrap cost me $1600 and didnt include that. Looked strange when you opened the door.
