How long should one expect a vehicle vinyl wrap to last?

I'm starting to price stuff out.

Ugh, it's so expensive to start, but once you're in it's not as expensive as it used to be.

So I hear.

I have to figure out what's good again, as so many brands have dropped off and others have risen.

depends on how long it is out in the sun and the color. i think 5-6yrs for lighter colors.

since my Z is inside, i would assume 8-9yrs or more, until the adhesive rots.

I really want to do it but $2k is a lot of moolah.

Mr.kenchan...

Last pic I post in the alcheng-thread was with rear suspension arms on, after dinner and a short break I went back to the R/C room and work on the front suspension arm, installed the front & rear shocks towers, the sway bars and the graphite battery holder

also look at some hop-up parts, installed the mount of the motor-cooling-fan too.

Looks like I am going to have it finished this weekend and test drive next Saturday...

But if I can get it done before Friday, I might head to the track on this Saturday

Off road. There are more tracks out here for that with large classes.

Gonna go with 2WD buggy when I do pull the trigger.

I think I'm going to wait until mid-late May when there's a big JConcepts race and a lot of the factory drivers come out. I used to race with them (and beat a few) when they were just sponsored drivers.

Gonna discreetly ask around for a discount/deal and setup tips.
