Anyone have any experience with this new Maguire/3M process?

http://www.designerwraps.com.au/lamborg ... -metallic/

Quote from 3M posted on one of the Holden sites:

"We have been receiving a lot of interest and quote requests, to help make things easier we have a few pricing options to give you all an idea of what the costs are. Retail packs are accurate to what you will find in store, but through professional applicators prices can vary so as an estimate see below.

Retail packs (available through selected Autobarn stores nationally and Zen Garage)

Accessory Packs

Size: 1.52m X 0.50m

RRP: Brushed Metal (Black & Titanium), Carbon Fibre (Black) - $99, Matte (Black) - $79

Panel Packs

Size: 1.52m X 1.80m

RRP: Carbon Fibre (Black) - $299, Satin (Black) - $249, Matte (Black) - $219


If you don’t feel confident in giving it a go, or want a full body wrap;

Professional Application

Bonnet Wrap supply and fit $500 approx.

Full Body Wrap supply and fit from $4000-$6000 approx.

The wrap i have seen was the mini on wheeler dealers , was carbon fiber look.

Looked ok " different " but definately need it professionally fitted " Ed china from wheeler dealers had a bit of trouble with it , heating and strecthing it " . No idea on the longivity though and if it gets ripped/scratched how would you fix it.

Actually i think wheeler dealers did a kombi van as well , it was a blue bubling water texture , quite trippy.

Here's a scene from wheeler dealers putting it on the mini

I have the clear 3M across the front of my car to act as a car bra.
It was developed to stop erosion of the helicopter blades in the desert sand during Iraq / middle east wars

Yeah I use the 3m wrap on my motorcycle fairings. After going through the trouble of trying to find a panel beater to spray them I decided to wrap them instead. Really easy in my opinion, just use a heatgun and grab a friend. The heat makes the vinyl lose its memory, so you can restretch it until its right. Been on for a few months and held up reply well. Best thing is if I'm over the colour it only takes a few hours to change.

Its how they do a lot of commercial delivery type trucks. Judging by the marks on some of the trucks that deliver stuff to work I would say its pretty tough...

Cheers, Ian

I have fitted it to our Commodore work ute. to make it look like the team brock commodre of Jason Brghts Its coming up to 10 years.. THe 3M stuff has held up, faded a bit, but considering its out 24-7 in 40deg C days, but hasn't cracked or peeled.. The regular stuff ( ie the logo) has cracked and showing its age...
