Any interests in pre cut vinyl wraps?

Thinking about possibly offering pre cut vinyl pieces to make it easier for those who are not local or just simply want to go the DIY route. I will probably try to do smaller/simpler pieces first, then move onto possibly bigger items.

However, I am trying to get an idea of what you guys would be most interested in having pre cut pieces made for.

Not every thing will be practical to do with pre cut pieces, but throw out some ideas/suggestions/thoughts/etc.

I once attempted to wrap my e60 m5 and let tell you, it was a hard and it looked bad took forever and the finished product wasn't what I expected





I had a hard time with the bumpers (as you can see) and I'm not sure pre-cut pieces would have helped me. I had a hard enough time doing it the old fashioned way and I think having pre-cut pieces would only make it more difficult. I think having room for error only helps when applying....who know's, as you can see I failed lol


With that said - I'll never attempt again, I learned very quickly that I shouldn't do any shortcuts on my m

I think changing colour is more difficult to clear bar - I may be interested as vinyl is 'new' in Oz just like double glazing so costs a FORTUNE!!!!

Still open to ideas that you guys may have.

I think what most people would want are pre cut pieces for the window trim, from the feedback that I have gotten so far.

+1 I did my own but if precut would have been available and not outrageously priced I would have bought them to save the dress of a blade that close to my paint lol

Also maybe side went chrome would be a good one
