Message	Most of them look like crap however. If you think you will fit into the first category go for it. I would personally consider doing all the prep work myself and then get someone to spray it as a job on the side. It may cost a little more up front and will consume more of your time. But it will be much more cost efficient compared to vinyl wrapping and then repainting in a few years. Either way you go make sure to post up pics! '91 TT
