Stick to the colors the vinyl comes in. They can print it any color, but the print wont hold the color as well as the vinyl. Stored inside, the good wrap vinyl should be good for 7-10 years.

yeah, there's a shop here in LA that's supposed to be THE place to get it done. they do Hexis and 3M. Hexis has Kiwi Green which is very similar to the Krypton Green above. Part of me wants to do it Matte Army Green, as well.

FWIW, if I was doing it I wouldn't use any film but 3m. I've been around vinyl for all my life, never heard of Hexis....

hexis is a european company...supposed to be the best over there. the 3M matte olive drab would be pretty sweet. my main thing is just protecting the original paint. a black car in the desert is a disaster waiting to happen

Hmm, just odd that none of our suppliers carry them. We mainly use 3M or Arlon. Just make sure it's a cast film, not a calendered film. The latter has a greater tendency to shrink. The Hexis wrap film appears to be cast.

Make sure you keep your battery mount in check. Had an Elise autocross locally, the battery came loose and dented the body from the inside.

Do you have a some what structured holiday schedule like Germany? Those that are single get vacation before those that have children (married).
