| | Posted : 28 Apr 2012 - 12:22 Post title : Vinyl Tank Wrapping | | | I'm about 99.99% convinced That I'm getting my tank wrapped over the next couple of weeks. I've found a company over in Lincoln that will create my artwork and apply for what I think is a reasonable price (circa £200) does anyone have experience or any warnings for or against this?

I actually blacked out most of my TBird with vinyl just in case I want to change back to chrome in the future. For that I used 3M Controltac IJ 180CV3. Tried other cheaper vinyls but didn't work out. So far so good. Can be done.

I'm hoping to get a mono union jack over the tank just worried how much of an intrusion the consol is.
