You can get just about anything you want printed on the vinyl. That is how they do the advertising wraps.

Don't mean to jump in but I have a lot of friends that are in AMG club and they are having there high end cars professionally done for around $4K and you cannot tell it is a wrap as they do all the corners nooks etc. Other cars going fro around $3K, but of course the Excursion sure uses a lot of the wrap!! LOL!!

Your right on on your price estimate. I do not think it will be over $3k. It uses a lot of wrap but big straight panels. You're also correct that you cannot tell it is a wrap if it is professionally done all corners are perfect so far. Once I get the final price I will post it.

I am certain that your Excursion looks even better in person than in the pictures. Are they wrapping the roof too?

Yes, wrapped the roof in Satin Black, seam is above the roof line, so not really noticeable. The Brushed metal is almost double the cost for material. If it doesn't look right, I will change it out.

Sorry Stewart, it was in a stall and difficult to get pictures. I was taking pictures of the decals for my son and didn't realize until I got home that I didn't have back doors. I am also having the cladding wrapped in Brushed Metal, I am looking forward to seeing how it looks with the cladding and bumpers painted in satin black. I am hoping I have it back next week.

I will take and post some "not so close-up" pictures ASAP.

Here is a picture on a cloudy day-

These are the temp specifications for the Avery SW900 that I use. You need to check each manufacturer for their specs:

Service Temperature
-50° to 180°F (-45° to 82° C)
(Reasonable range of temperatures which would be expected under normal
environmental conditions).

I was in Vegas last June, and my RV sat directly in the sun all day. By mid-afternoon, the dark vinyl decals on the side of the rig were at about 145 according to my infrared temp gun. Hope that helps someone.
