He's talking about a 3M vinyl wrap. It just covers your car so you don't get rocks and pollen sticking to or chipping your paint.

Look at this site if you want some more details >> Home Page

yeah! its kinda like that! but ive seen people get their entire car wrapped, its suppose to keep the paint safe for like 5 years or something. but i have these racing stripes and decals on the side that are completely shot and the paint under it is not looking to good. so i figured id get a complete wrap to cover up the entire carr.

Hi `Mike, & Thanks for the link & helping a member 4-Sure
I wonder `if we have any member's that have had their Monte Carlo Wrapped ? If anyone has & you see this post please let us know `OK.

Member's, what do you think of "Wrap'in your Monte ?
Maybe 4 Christmas ?
Personally, I'd like to see a vehicle with this done, and I wonder how it holds `up over time or in the Florida Sun ?

Post your experience/knowledge on this subject (Thanks)

I don't have a full body wrap, but I wrapped my lower ground effects and also my trunk panel. So far they have held up great, and it's been one year in Iowa. If I did my whole car I would think twice about the color. The black on my trunk panel can get really hot and almost start to become soft and stretchy just by the sun. I would be worried about it becoming deformed or shrink in the hot sun. Though that could be because of the vinyl I have. I think a whole wrap would look great and be a lot cheaper than a paint job. I say go for it!

When you get the whole car done, you can have any kind of graphic or mural or whatever put on it. I have been thinking about doing it too. Cheaper than getting all of the details painted on, I've been told.
