Excellent job
I wonder how does the car surface feel when you touch the wrapped car?

Question about your wheels

Karl:


Your wheels, do they have spacers, or do they (stock) seem to fit the wheel wells much better than my 09 20 spoke wheels?

WOW! looks very cool! I am assuming this is a hobby of yours. how often do you change the color?
how easy is it to remove and get back to base paint?

My rear wheels have H&R 23mm spacers.

Thanks. Actually this is the first time I have ever attempted wrapping a car. I did put some vinyl stripes on my car last year, but that was the extent of my experience prior to this job.

The vinyl has pretty good adhesion so it does take some time and patience, but it does peel right off without any damage to the surface underneath.

For this project to be your first time, it is BEYOND impressive man. A month and a half worth of work is serious patience. Rep points for this one coming your way!

How much do full car wrap jobs cost now a days?

^^^^ Thanks. I have noticed that I do have more patience than most people I know. Of course, it was a month of nights and weekends; not full time. I have been told that most wrap jobs in my area cost between $3,500 to $6,000 but cost extra if you get sills and door jambs done.

The results are phenomenal. Great work and attention to detail.

Has everyone asked if you bought a new Aston?

Yes. My neighbors thought I bought a new one. I was actually trying to upgrade to a 2014 model during the holidays but the numbers just didn't make much sense for what was essentially the same car (same color even); especially when you consider all the upgrades that my car already has. I decided that this approach was much cheaper. I'll save my money for when Aston comes up with a new Vantage replacement instead.

This is just crazy. I've seen professional jobs worse than this. And I assume that there are colors that are easier to work with than yours.

I just love your car.

I'm in Barcelona every now and then with my car and would love to see it if person if time allows!
