Where to get a wrap?

    Please, no ranting about re-sale value going down the jacks etc etc etc. Simple Q.

    Anybody know/recommend a company that do full car wraps? Particularly a matte black. Or a quality paint shop that are fairly priced and do top notch work on their full re-sprays?

    Anywhere in Dublin. Parts of Meath and parts of Louth would be ideal. Thanks lads. :)

    How would the resale value go down if you get a professional wrap?:confused: Wouldn't it increase the value as when you go to sell the car it's paint would still be pristine.

    A lot of people say it sale proofs the car for some reason. Dunno why though. Apart from a small crack in my spoiler (Where a brake light used to be but was removed and filled) and a bit of a scratch on the corner of my bumper my paint is perfect. Give or take the usual wear of a couple nicks from stones etc. I just fancy a colour change.

    There's a Sprint Blue S3 up on Carzone with a white wrap. While I prefer the original colour the wrap does look like a good job

    Not cheap, but absolutley top quality work.

    I use them for graphics in work and the application really is of the highest quality, and that's the important thing when it comes to a wrap. I've used a few different graphics suppliers over the past few years and the only other company that comes close for quality is Universal Graphics, but they are in Monaghan so might be a bit far to travel.

    I think the logic there is that not everyone likes the colours (or would have the balls to drive it) people get on Wrapped cars. Its not that the Wrap itself reduces value (as it can be undone), its that the colour choice instantly reduces your buying market, while arguably making it more appealing to a different, though smaller market.


    I want to see some non-black Matte cars, matte white or red!

    That Lotus is just, wow.

    Would love if I could do that to my car. Don't think it'd look great on a Corsa C though :pac:
