Sounds like a euphemism for something.

You haven't seen any of our wrapps by RT-Performance but yes it's true. When you look up close to head lights and edges you'll see how poorly most wraps are done. All accept ours of course.

Hehe. What about some nice close up photos to show us? Especially in corners and angles, that's where I have seen the most wrinkles and crinkles.

Can they be glossy like paint? Most of the wraps I've seen have been dull / matte. Like, well, plastic.

A good example of what you described would be the R8 which we fixed.

I gotta say the respray looks good. We too do trade work for west London Audi too.

Impressive stuff. :thumbs: All the wrapped cars I have seen have looked like that R8.

Those 3 cars seem to be matte / satin finish, though. Is it possible to get a gloss finish? Say Sprint Blue? Or is it just not possible with a wrap?

It is possible just that matt is very popular.
Take a look here for some of our colour choices
