Hey,

Next year when we start working on the Mini Se7en Race car i will need to get some big "stickers" made as such. The Car is orange but my racing livery has a two tone paint job, white highlights. Very similar to Peter Baldwins championship winning se7en from back in 2001 if anybody remembers that.

Now, were racing on a budget/were poor, so rather then getting the car sprayed, i would ideally just prefer sort of, Viynl wraps if that works, can this be done and how much should i be looking at paying?

Much like the terrible illustration i have provided below. (took hours that did!)
Orange = Original paint - White represents said Stickers - Blue Arches and bumper = paint

Try racing green, here is a link to his topic, he mentions he used to do vehicle wrapping.

I used to do vinyl cutting but we never had a proper pricing structure as it was just a side line. We only did basic designs.

isnt it called a body wrap

I thought a body wrap was what women have done with seaweed etc to clear their skins??

vinyl wraps are incredibly common in saloon and tin top racing these days, after all if you touched and it damages a panel..u can replace that panel and a sticker on top instead of painting. plus it means you can change paint all season long. Most touring car teams use it. i will look in my contacts tomorrow and dig out an email i think i have for a guy who we used to do a whole truck.

Just a thought - if money is that tight would it not be better to go into mighties rather than sevens? Much cheaper formula and the racing is very close.

I have a Relative that has been racing in Se7ens for a few years now, i have considered mightys and read through the guideline book etc but se7ens just seem easier for us to get involved with.
Cheers for the thought though!.
