Just saying that basic colors are easy and cheap for touch ups.

If you look closely, I did not wrap the fenders, just painted them.  We tried wrapping the fenders on the dirt car and we will NEVER do it again.  Took several hours just to wrap one fender and was  a  real pain to peal off for painting this year.  The vinyl job seen here was a little over $500 and included graphics for my helmet too.  Paint for fenders was free in my case, so it really didn't cost as much as many people think.  Keep in mind that a professional vinyl job will pay dividends with sponsors in the long run too.   I realize that not everyone can afford to have some sort of wrap on their cars, but just giving you an idea of the actual costs.

Just my two cents.

very nice looking mark, I will have to talk to him. I think I would just paint the fenders also.

Did you have the body off when you had it done or did you paint it with the body off them mounted it and then wrapped it?

Brandon,

I took the entire car down minus the fenders.  It was much easier for them to install the lower wrap without the fenders on.   I then installed the fenders(at their shop) on the car the day I picked it up and he applied the number decals on the fenders.  You could probably just take the body down too, I don't see why not.

Hope this helps! ;D

I'm going black with red flames for my first season in legends.  It should hopefully look great.

I'm staying simple, black with white/flat black or purple fenders

Red is one of the least expensive colors so I am sticking with it.  Also, I have not run enough races to justify messing with it.   ;)

Heres what I ended up with, not quite what I wanted but it will do.

Racecar spelled backwards is racecar. Racecar upside down is expensive.

Jeff,

The flames kind of get lost in the gray. Like the flames though!
