My stepdaughter Emely has many gifts that I am immensely proud of her for having. The latest is her gift for making automobiles look remarkable as you my loyal readers can plainly see from the image above. She is going through an auto body class at one of the local community colleges here in Spokane. At this point she learned wrapping.
Before she took this class I never even heard of wrapping a car, yet I guess, so long as the original finish on the car one is going to wrap, is clean—no marks, rust or dings—then one can opt for doing this kind of work.
I had a minor booboo happen to me last week and I asked her about this method. While it was nothing more serious than trading paint, she explained to me that any imperfection on the original finish was a none issue because the vinyl used in wrapping would peel away, exposing the original finish and creating more problems down the road.
Though she didn’t say so in so many words, I’m hopeful she’ll volunteer to make my car her next project when that time occurs and she’s been train in that next phase of auto body repair. In the meantime, the person who got his Dodge Challenger wrapped in that neon green that Nicolas swore glows in the dark, is very satisfied with the result. As I am as well.
