Vinyl Questions; Want to experiment

Hey NAM!

Just wanted to ask some questions about vinyl wrapping.

First off;
I just want to experiment with wrapping and maybe doing some wrapping for a local car club I'm in and for my days off when I'm bored and have nothing to do.

Whats the best automotive vinyl?
What does the thickness need to be?
Most reliable companies? (this tends to be fairly opinionated so please give reasons if you can)
I've bought vinyl before from a few places and love how it came out I would just like to experiment more with sheets of it and see what I could do.

Control Tac Vinyl for wrapping..
Each brand may call it something different. It has air channels to let the air escape as you press/squeeze it down...There are others, and depending on what your wrapping just "regular" vinyl can be used as well..( it's cheaper )
Top grade vinyl is usually 2 mil thick...

Vinyl needs to be cast, not calendared. I *love* 3M products.
