But definitely definitely would rather do color change lmfao

Don't have to line up anything, you fuck up a panel and you just cut a new piece and restart.

Fuck printed wraps on street cars.

Race cars are ez, nobody sees them close up so the line work doesn't have to be spot on lol

Agreed. Houston has been overrun with Garage Wrappers here lately so we haven't done many one offs here in the last 6 months. Mostly just fleet work (which is fine with me, easy money)

Also, We wrapped a Bugatti Chrion a couple weeks back in that new heat/color change vinyl.

Worst. Fucking. Job. Ever. I charged more for this wrap that I've ever paid for a show car quality paint job and it wasn't even close to enough.

Yeah FUCK anything that changes color, can't take a map torch to it, ruins it.
Have to use heat guns and that shit honestly just takes waaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy too fucking long.
Not even worth it on the labor end.
