How much does it cost?
I am at the point where I am seeing the light at the end of the tunnel and am contemplating paint/wrap. How much would it cost to wrap an 8A with, for example 2 colors and a standard N number scheme? I know that the cost varies, but it would be good to know what sort of range we are talking about.
Thanks!

Hi Steve
Would you mind popping onto our site and submitting your details through the Contact page and I will happily assist via email.
Whilst we are of course interested in selling our product I want to keep this thread going and refrain from turning it into a sales thread - hopefully you understand.
Kind Regards

Not only from what I saw and witnessed firsthand on the appearance and quality, but the professional attitude these people have. I was amazed at how the aircraft looked up close, clean lines, no bubbles, artwork, etc. I would suggest if you get a chance to see these aircraft up close you should do so and will be impressed.
I would also like to Thank Scott for turning around to come back and visit with us after already leaving for the day.

Hey Guys,
Thanks for the kind words and the pleasure was all mine! Get that 8 and cruise the wife in comfort! I had fun showing you and others around our aircraft today. I always enjoy when our guest can't believe these planes are wrapped. Even while actually touching the aircraft and looking from nose distance away
We even covered the age-old CS Prop vs Fixed... Catto didn't even know they have a sells rep in palm beach!? :roll eyes:
Our guest from just north... hope you enjoyed the Tiki Bars I steered you to? Oh wait,... you might still be there!?
Regards,
Scott

Cuties:
This is Guy... not so cute
Thought I would put a face to the man everyone has been emailing back and forth with.
Thats as close as i let him to the wrapped vinyl. I had to give him the beer just to keep his hands off my work!
Seriously... let me know if there is anything specific you would like to see?

Most people yesterday were really surprised how our metal flake/metallic really comes alive in the sunlight. The different colors really shine in the sun.
I thought this was common knowledge because I've been dealing with vinyl for years now. (kinda like when pilots at a party start the story with, NDB, ILS, #@%, etc. and expect everyone to know what we are talking about!?)
Pictures worth a thousand words:

What happens when a crack develops in the skin? Will it be visible?
What about smoking rivets? Will those be visible in any way? Will the vinyl bubble in that area so you know something is wrong?
Thanks for your guys great responses I am really considering going this route.
Thanks,
