Vehical Wraps

Anyone ever hear of FLX-Paint? It's supposed to be an acrylic enamel w/ clear coat on a film to do whole car wraps. I'm looking for a supplier or a way to contact the company. Everything I've found online leads me nowhere.

Never heard of it. I've done vinyl wraps, though.

I'm going to do my A-Panels in Red. I'd like to put something on that's going to be durable. I had head that the FLX-Paint stuff could be waxed just like paint.

Source one in Cincy Ohio Plasti-dips cars for $500 and you can do more coats for extra. They do their NSX's in it and they look amazing.

Thanks for the info.
Will Plasti-Dip turn out with a gloss similar to paint?

Anyone know if any vendors at MOTD are doing wraps?

You can certainly buy Plasti-Dip in a gloss finish (and other finishes). Honestly, it's probably a better option over wrapping. It looks good, is cheaper, just as durable, and you can remove/change colors by yourself in your driveway.

Plasti dip is cheaper than a vinyl , you can do it your self and the removal is easier , no adhesive on the paint after wards , they also have glossifier which is a top coat making the dip glossy. Just look up dipyourcar on YouTube and see all the videos

@helix13mini , I love the Camo green so sexy

WOW that is a GREAT price. Wish someone in AZ did it for that kind of money.
