Anybody wrap a car?

I am curious to find out more about wrapping a car instead of painting it, as in the below photo. Has anybody done this or has experience with it? How much are the materials and where can they be purchased, also, is it a DIY project?

Thanks

I have seen such materials applied to race cars (no personal experience).

Are you contemplating, not just graphics, but a total body wrap? Instead of paint?

Hummmm ... if so, I would NOT recommend a 'do it yourself'.
(think; hanging wall paper on flat, square surfaces ...as opposed to the curved, various surfaces of an automobile)
