Vehicle wrap recommendations nr Leeds?
Discussion
Al, I know you had problems with yours mate. There is also a chap from my old neck of the woods down South who had a nightmare with his Gallardo done in about 3 shades of white...
I am in 2 minds. Paintwork on mine is mint at the mo, and hence the temptation to wrap it rather than spray it. The colour I am after is potentially an awkward one either way, and the costs between wrapping and spraying aren't actually all that far apart...Probably best part of £1500 for a wrap, £2200 for a spray at a well-regarded sprayer, or I could pay £1500 for a spray at a race-car sprayer who is yet to prove himself doing road cars. Decisions, decisions. The car hardly goes unnoticed as it stands.

On a similar theme, does anyone know a company that fits clear protection film to cars in our neck of the woods?
Most of the well known names only seem to operate darn sarf. I had my last car done by Paintshield, which wasent such a hike to Grantham, but they have now re-located to Peterborough
Thanks....g

Who is this well regarded sprayer Phil?
I want a bit of paintwork done on mine over winter, certainly a front end and back end, the latter down to the little bollard bump when we met up in Harrogate
Its Phil himself, with a couple of Halfords pisscans, make a grand job Al.I want a bit of paintwork done on mine over winter, certainly a front end and back end, the latter down to the little bollard bump when we met up in Harrogate

It's the same place that does your spray tan and your nails Rach. 
In which cas emove swiftly onwards my good man, terrible tan last time, left me all bloody speckled.... Nails rather fetching mind..Chris Gregory in Knaresborough is the guy you want as Gemini mentioned. I pass his establishment nearly every day and apart from a healthy amount of TVR's i see there , the fearri, lambo, porsche and aston car clubs must have either discounted rates there or merely couldnt drive a greasy stick up a dead dogs a**e !
His quality is second to non and to keep the new paint in tip top condition try a friend of his Dave Naxton of DPN valeting, top stuff and great guys to deal with.
Forfot to ask the question hence the edit. Someone quoted a full wrap at around the same price as a full respray, £1,500 to 2k. This seems amazingly cheap given that i was quoted for a wrap on a smallish, but curvy TVR Griffith as around £3500. A front end respray on the Tuscan comes in at around 1K with vat etc and i dont even have a spectra flair/cascade colour to match.
Quality costs apparently.

A Griff looks huge alongside my go kart, plus the clams unbolt very easily so labour costs are reduced. A well regarded sprayer in the Lotus world has quoted me £2200 including labour to remove the clams. £500 less if I do the donkey work myself. Having seen the quality of his work, its second to none.Quality costs apparently.

Want to get the window chrome on my Vantage wrapped in satin black but it looks like Totally Dynamic in Leeds no longer exist?
Any recommendations (the closer to York the better!)??
thanks all!
I saw a Lamborghini Huracan getting done here last week. If the owner trusts them with that, they must be good!Any recommendations (the closer to York the better!)??
thanks all!
