the only thing i dont like about that, is in a year or more, if you ever take the wrap off, or go to sell it, the paint is most likely going to be discolored. maybe not as bad on white or my silver, but it will still be there, especially mine being in the florida sun lol

Curious, but what a 'wrap' roughly could cost ? or just a 1/2 wrap ?

I have read doing the HHR is difficult.

I've been talking to my large format print guy and I figure $8-$10 per square foot for the printed goods and two people a full days labor for a full wrap, half day for a half wrap. Don't use the permanent adhesive vinyl, sections may get scratched and need replaced. The permanent adhesive is removable but not easily, its designed not to come off even when baked in the sun.

This is a much better idea, the half wrap. I designed vehicle wraps for a couple of years, and the simpler the better.

Also... Is it possible to get a copy of the EPS file. I'd love to noodle some designs for mine.

Thanks

i think my dads Scion xB (the first gens) was around $1200 bux for the full wrap (only thing not wrapped was the roof, which wouldnt have been much more anyways since its just a completely flat roof)

im wrapping the whole thing only becuase its a brand new HHR, and *if* i ever remove the wrap to either sell it, or if i just dont use this car for business anymore, i dont want the silver paint to be new under the half wrapped portion, and faded where it wasent wrapped.
