Look just above at your pics, there is an impreza with it there

Vinyl wrap...





There are 2 types - one the all-in-one printed and the other base layer and added layers (mine).

Not cheap by the way (unless you have a friend who has just done 40 of your company vehicles )

Purple base then added pink/white. The added bits have got a clear vinyl over them as the pink is a special colour on a material that is not as flexible as the rest of the vinyl.

All trim had to be removed then put back on in order to get the best finish.

I will get round to doing the front bumper when I get the one I want. Rear needs a bit more pink!

Even after the 40+ fleet I thought that that was expensive!

I'm old & I like it

My first car was a mini van which I painted bright white then put metalic blue stripes on it in a sort of version of battleship camouflage (style below)



Stood out really well but didn't stop gf's mother running into it in a Range Rover

The only way I can see you pulling it off right is going the Vinyl wrap way.
Thats what the newage scooby has been done.

The other way looks too cheap


Camo vinyl wrap, not cheap:

Dubs are part of that custom scene though, scoobs are taken as being from a motorsport/performance scene which is why most people buy them. I guess its just the done thing. Its your car though whatever floats your boat.
