    Vinyl Wrap - an option?

    Have noted a few recent articles on vinyl wrapping of cars with advertising or whatever.

    Thought occurred - would this be an option for "refurbishing" woodgrain inserts etc, given they can print virtually anything?

    Answer is yes! but same could be done with wood tape I guess.
    I have been toying with the idea of using some on the lower half of the body, from under the pin strip down. As you said - can get it in anything these days.
    For mine I was thinking something like snow camo

    I think if I redid the veneer in mine, (and added some more), I'd just get something water printed instead of using the real thing. I figure that since this stuff is in a car, and will therefore have a hard life, there's no use using real veneer if water printing is almost as good.
    At any given point in time, somewhere in the world someone is working on a Land-Rover.

    Here is some cheap wrap over some dash and console parts.
    Not going to do them all in the same stuff - but works fine - just sand, wash and clean so it sticks

    Hair dryer helps the stick and around corners
