    Do you think it will stay on though? Done some cars with the polymeric VWS a while back and the swage lines started lifting.

    Hi Mate

    The first car we did in MD5 (not one of those pictured) is still perfect 12 months on.

    Does this vinyl do for wraps??? Have you ever printed on to it and wrapped as well?? How long you reckon this will last??

    I wouldn’t use it for a printed wrap – just an economical colour change to white. It isn’t as good as proper wrap material and as mentioned you have to join on the bumpers and you wouldn’t get it into front grilles etc.

    But for local taxis here its cheaper to buy a coloured car and wrap it white than buy a white car??????? So they keep telling me.

    Personally I wouldn’t a time limit on it but it looks the part tho!

    Can I ask why the Side door protectors are white one side, black the other?

    Has it failed already?!!

    matty the side trims havnt failed
    its 2 different cars

    you can wrap with md5, But you do take on the risk it will fail.
    ok for a taxi cos they want cheap and cheerful and arnt worried about a few joins.
