REFLECTOR: Painting

[Brainard, Jerry]

I don't know if you have seen the super graphics being done on cars
where they are putting basically anything you could print.  Also doing a
lot of race cars with this solution.  They call it wrapping a car.  They
take a plain colored car and everything else is "wrapped" in printed
vinyl.  Cost is about $1200.  I don't know about long term durability,
but I know some cars that are around here have had the wrap for at least
two years.  If it is durable enough, it would certainly be a great trim
solution.  Paint the plane white then "wrap" it up in some extraordinary
graphics.

I first saw those vinyl stripes on a factory demonstrator. Looked great.

	I was wondering what the collective thought of this group was on
the use of decals instead of a painted design on the airplane.  I was
talking to a RV builder the other day and he suggested them as a cheaper
alternative to painting on a design over the white paint.  Easy to
repair also.  He also mentioned that it was very popular in the RV
community.  I can't get over the feeling the it just doesn't seem right
to use decals.  Sounds kind of cheesy to me.  The Velocity is as
gourgous as a beautifully restored hot rod.  You certainly won't put
decals on a hot rod.  Thoughts from the group??
