Vinyl wrap is applied over existing paint to change the color and to protect the paint underneath. They even have a chrome wrap so you could make your car look like it was chrome plated. A heat gun is used to stretch the wrap over curves. You can also print any design on the vinyl before it is shipped, like a desert scene or a forest. You can use this on your covered trailer to put a photo of your car on the sides and back. I am sure you have seen this. It is used for race cars where the sponsors are printed on the vinyl. The next year the wrap is removed and a new one put on with new sponsors. It is a lot cheaper than a new paint job but the underlying surface must be in good shape, not a rust bucket.

So, has anyone tried this with a Model A?
