Any good places im Melbourne for interior vinyl wrap?
I need to get rid of my silver interior.

[Socket]

Car x in Clayton. Bad quality finish but cheap otherwise I can show you how it's done and you can DIY

[iliketurtl3s]

Easy diy. What colour are u thinking?

[Rdany]

Just thinking to do all the brushed metal trims in the interior.
I may go the diy route then I'm just concerned of removing all the trim bits and puting them back

[Rdany]

I was thinking carbon fibre but open for sugestions

Thanks Socket
If the quality is bad then I may just go the diy route.
May be needing some lesons first

Removing trim is easy, bit of learning the first time.

I don't like wrapping personally mine didn't work well, after some hot days it seemed to move and on the air con vent holes it came out and looked shit, not sure how people stop that.

I ended up painting but that's a bigger commitment lol

[Rdany]

I was thinking of painting also just thought it would be easier to get it wraped

Hardest part of removing trim is the dash strip. If you are in Melb swing by and I can show you how it's done. You can also get it done in real CF in the USA but it's its about a $2k mod (with postage) You can check it out in my build thread

Not sure if im ready to spend that much money on the trim yet considering that I still have a lot of work to be done on the engine. But maybe latrer on who knows.
Already went trough a bit of your build post Socket and gives me great ideas.
The only problem is that doing everithing I want on the car my get me divorced and on the street. So for now one step at the time.

[Rdany]

I may just paint it just not sure what colour would suit the car best. Silver on the outside with black interior and antracite lining

Carbon fibre look vinyl wrap was a diabolical experience for me too

Tempted to rip off and use good old plastidip.

With the gluey left overs from the vinyl can one use soapy water to remove?

Try using some Citrus cleaner. Excellent for removing glue.

From your experiences guys I'll probably stay away from vinyl wrap then.
Thanks
Plasti dip or paint it is

Yeah better to do once properly, and I would paint over plastidip personally.

If you can spare it, get a pro shop to quote you on sanding down, painting and clear coating all of it.

A nice thick hard clear coat is what you want over the colour you choose. Then you can polish it too like the exterior paint.

A few hundred bucks maybe and it could look awesome.

Cheaper than real carbon fibre, better than a home paint job, and way better than vinyl that can turn to shit months later.

Would need to take the car off the road for a few days though, I painted mine one part at a time so never off the road. and I also have a second set because I have a full CF set that i have been swapping out for painted.

Is your car undriveable without dash trims?

Nope, but you have things hanging like the push start button and door lock thing. I drove for a week with no front dash.

I haven't driven with the center console ie shiftier trim removed before though.

Would probably be fine.

Could always look at getting the trims hydro dipped.
They have a fair few options as well.
