I expect...
no
I DEMAND pics when you do this.

And the outfit.... and a blue shell.

I was planning a Banana, or a Red Shell. But for you, Blue it is...

I've said it before. Gotta be black. She'll have spider webs and bats for my "Elvira"!

Hi aahz, I've been to Kingman and I remember the HEAT. Sure you want a black car there?

I've tossed color around and think I'll probably go with white. It should look good with the black on the fenders and the rear, also will be more visible after dark.

I am wondering about wraps though. Read alot from y'all about them, never dealt with them myself. Might be a good idea for mine? How easy are they to put on/change? Could maybe be something to easily change from 1 scheme to another? ?

That's pretty much the same question for 'Painting'. You can take your car to a place that will do it for $300 - $500 and get a "paint job", or spend $2000 for a better job.

Same for Wraps. I'm planning to do it myself, so I'm settling for what will amount to a lower end wrap. If you know what you are doing, you can wrap in a weekend. I'll be giving it a week.

A good professional wrap starts about $2000 and goes up. The materials for mine will run about $500. (plus time)

As for taking it off... depends on how long it was left on and a few other factors... You can expect a wrap to last 2-4 years (I'm giving mine 3) The longer you leave it on, the harder it is to remove. If within the window you can carefully peel with a heat gun to remove cleanly. There are a few tricks, but it comes off eventually. A couple of hours work. If on the other hand it is left on for too many years you may have to sand or wire brush to get it off... (don't leave it on too long...)

Thanks for posting the "removal" vids. It's good for anyone "who's thinking about it"
to realize the long term issues. That last video is good to show what problems "Bad removal techniques" (the hood/ razor blade used..paint job required). And what happens when vinyl is left on too long.

What was the wheel on that grinder he was using? Wire? <No, I didn't have my sound on>

So if I found an advertiser who wanted to advertise on my Elio, I'd have to make sure whatever ad was put on it was take off after a year?

Depends on the ad; and what it's about.
Probably best discussed with EM directly; it's their product.
