Anyone ever vinyl wrapped a MV?

[smashcrashy]

I have a MV that needs to be "not tan" for a few days and I was thinking of vinyl wrapping it. Has anyone done so and were you able to get the adhesive off your paint at the end of it?

Here is a view of the use of the product im thinking about:
Amazon.com: 3M Scotchprint Wrap Film 1080 Series Matte Military Green M26 60"x180"

Other options include just using some canvas and duct tape to change the color.

That stuff is sticky, just think about a big bumper sticker. That would require a heat gun and a lot of time for removal and will bring the paint along with it. You might be able to get away with that on a car that has factory paint that has been baked on, but seeing that the majority of MV's have several coats of paint on them it''s likely that you will end up with patch's of paint missing.

I have a friend that had a ton of vinyl advertising on his pickup truck. I told him if he got anymore on there, it was going to lower his tires.

He removed some later. A professional vinyl advertishing shop that makes the decals put them on originally, took them off a year later. I could not detect a difference in the paint.

Recommend you contact a professional vinyl advertiser for autos and ask for details.

plastidip. spray it on and peel it off when you're done with it. Probably much cheaper than vinyl, but not as cheap as duct tape and canvas

Vinyl wrap is expensive. I priced it at about $3,000 for my FJ. That was for a digital camo wrap for the whole truck.

I would think wrap for a large MV would cost more than the MV!

I ordered a test set of 60 " x 12" for 17 bucks, I dont think I'd need more than 10 rolls for the item in question, so the cost isn't that bad. I think the issue would be whether it lifted the matte paint when I removed it. Since the stuff is made to be put on a clear coated car I would think the rough surface of MV paint would form a stronger bond and potentially lift.

Plastidip is an interesting idea, I wonder how it would do in the heat of the desert for a few days.

This is for an airsoft event and basically the sides are green vs tan but my Ferret is tan and I need to be on the green side.

What about a washable paint......I think they use something like that to "paint" vehicles for the movies. They spray it on and when the shooting is done it just pressure washes off. I think I remember reading an article about it once.
