3m reflective vinyl wrap for caliper

[astonmartin007]

Guys from Canada,
Looking for a place to get my caliper wrap with 3M reflective vinyl. Seems like nobody does it here in Montreal
Preferably in the city where I live if not I don't mind driving to Toronto.
On worst case scenario I might have to either drive to US or ship the calipers...
Thx

Have you considered trying to tackle the project yourself? I haven't personally wrapped calipers yet, but I'm considering trying it at some point. I know vinyl shops in my area charge an arm and a leg for labor due to a lack of competition though, so I'm probably going to do it myself when the time comes. I've applied protective barriers on the headlights on all of my cars, and I imagine the process is pretty similar.

I want to do that too but no idea where in Toronto offer it

[astonmartin007]

Didn't even cross my mind lol Since I'm a little picky I rather have a pro that done it before...

I went to Forest City Wraps this afternoon to pick up someone that was getting wrap on their car. They said they would bring in some reflective wrap when I said I would like to get my calipers done.
I will post when they are done to show how it looks, how much they charged, and how difficult I perceived it to be

Thanks very appreciated

This is the opposite to me, I'm a little picky too so would much rather do the job myself. Worst case, you peel it off and then hand it over to someone who knows what they are doing, best case, it looks great and you've picked up an new skill.

How would a "'wrap" hold up to the heat that a caliper would produce??

I would think a standard wrap would heat up and either melt to the caliper or shrink and fall off, but 3M makes high heat vinyl that's made specifically for calipers, so I'm assuming they took heat into consideration.

Guys,
Looks like I find a place near where I live that will do it. Just waiting to hear back from them on pricing.
Thinking to go with Red color since my interior is Red/Dk Grey and my summer wheels have Red lip.
Any other suggestion?

Red would look good, maybe too "racey" though.

A gunmetal/dark grey might look good too.

I went to get mine wrapped and the guy had a sample from 3M. I want to go bright yellow but he said the only yellow was school bus yellow. Anyone know where I can get a bright yellow high heat reflective wrap?
NM. I should have followed your link first

After seeing the Blue on Nate White RS5 I think it looks simply amazing.
Here's a youtube link regarding installation

Yes, as I said I posted before I clicked on your link

[astonmartin007]

OK finallllly found a place that can do it and after a long wait they got back to me....
Price for wrapping 4 calipers: $600 tax inc
Thoughts?
Anybody knows how much Nate paid at Deviate Auto in Houston or how much they charged?
