Saw a military-looking pickup truck with this odd sequence of letters on the passenger door.
Any idea what it means?


Layed not sprayed?

Huh?

I don't get it.

Maybe just this but badly spelled?

CB, you must be correct. Start at the hashtag and stretch them to a tweet title. Thats it exactly. #LAYEDNOTSPRAYED

It has the sheen of a flat vinyl

 

[Rugerer]

It's a tag for car wraps. I.e. Wrap laid on the car not paint sprayed.

I'm impressed they don't have the flag "retreating"

i'd never heard of this stuff. for those that are curious like me, i looked at the website and they said the advantage is that you don't have to wash it, and it's cheaper. i don't know if i buy all that. i'd like to see how it's applied too.

If that O.D. green "paint job" on that truck is actually a vinyl wrap, it looks damn good.
I really thought it was paint.
Has anyone ever got a price quote for doing this to a vehicle, and compared that to the price for a paint job?

Not "cheap" per se, but cheaper than a nice paint job, more than Earl Scheib or Maico. Yes, you still have to wash it. Yes, plenty of people have issues with damaging car finish when left on for a while, like rust pockets from trapping moisture. The big argument is whether this is a installation problem, or just the idea of having a wrap over a car.

 

[Smilodon]

That very well could be a wrap. I don't really understand the rust issue, how does the trapped moisture penetrate the paint?

 

[mog]

I don't know, maybe small imperfection in paint somewhere? Mind you, this isn't after a couple months, it's been after longer term use.
