Full vinyl wrapping for small van around Clare / Galway / Limerick ?

audiobabble

Can anyone suggest a wrapping service in the mid-west for my small van?

It's an '04 VW Caddy 1.9TDi (one of the very last of the mk2 old style). Nothing wrong with the paint job and it has no rust, but it looks like I'll be keeping it a while since it's a really decent example, totally unmolested and well serviced. It has astonishingly low miles at 80k. Only thing — I've always HATED the colour!

Would consider a respray, but sounds like I wouldn't get much change out of €3k for a decent job — correct me if I'm wrong by all means… but a wrap sounds like it might be cheaper.

Be great to hear of anyone with a good reputation for doing full-body wraps that's around?

Also, I know nothing about wrapping — how many years am I likely to get out of it, does it have a 'life-expectancy'?

I'm going to comment again to say… maybe wrapping isn't much cheaper when you really look into it. From what I've been reading it seems you 'get what you pay for'… and a top-notch job could easily cost €2 - €2.5k… but maybe I'm wrong.

Added to that is the fact that it's not likely to last as long as a proper paint job (which is essentially for the life of the car if looked after)… so maybe a re-spray is a better option.

So.. recommendations of good sprayers would also be appreciated :)

The wrapper would be worth more than the van

You're still talking thousands I'd say.

You're not wrong there! Hence why I can't see the point in selling it for some time to come — I wouldn't get anything half as decent with the proceeds.
