| Subject: | Re: Paint vs Wrap |
I have seen one and wasn't impressed. It looked great online and in person it
was a different story. Kinda like online dating........so I've been told. :)
I don't know what the weight difference between the two would be, but I saw enough
of the wrapped plane to know it's not anywhere close to a good (or even bad)
paint job. And I can't imagine its any lighter than paint.
I suppose they'd be fine for accents and stripes, etc. But a full wrap leaves
a whole lot to be desired....... unless you're just looking to attract attention
online and not really let people see it in person. :)

I'd have to agree wholeheartedly. The ones that I've seen don't rival even a poor
paint job. For accent stripes, great, but anytime you plan to wrap it around
something like the Cowl inlets, it's going to look like crap. The most I would
do with vinyl is paint the airplane a single solid color, and then throw on
vinyl striping. For that, it could be pretty nice. Especially for the N number,
if you are like a buddy of mine who would really love to change his and number.

I wasn't impressed by the wraps either. Looks great on pictures. Still have to
paint it or at least prime it and every unevenness in that shows through the vinyl.
And yeah N numbers are easier to change if they are not painted on with one color
and two different shadows. But who changes N numbers anyway :)
And who is this L. guy? :)

Hmmm,
I don't know how we got to online dating from a thread on aircraft wrapping but
I supposed that is a topic for another thread.
I appreciate the comments. I may try to check out examples that have been done
by an aircraft wrap shop. I need to find a paint alternative as there are no paint
shops near where I am..
Cheers
Les

So what do you prime it with?? 8^))
Do you do a prime and base coat, or a two step epoxy primer without a base coat?
Or can you just polish the bare aluminum and wrap that.
Which brand and type of primer? It has to be at least 10 years since
the last primer wars. ;-)

I maintain a -10 that is wrapped. It is not as nice as paint, probably, although
I have not seen it after being washed, which would make a difference. The compound
curves would be really hard, and the one I'm talking about has a painted
cowl. I think you would be happier with paint.
