WA 3m Carbon vinyl door handles and wraping services

First off thank you Mar3 for making this happen.

Im making this thread as a feeler of interest in the services im providing

I have been doing 3m graphics for a profession for a while now. I do it at work and have been working with it and practicing with. I deal with only 3m products and their 1080 line up. My work is one of few 3m distributors. I will add pics of newly wrapped products as I go.

I Have in the photo a pic of my personal exterior door handles off my fd. They are wrapped in 3m black carbon 1080 vinyl. Di-noc was 3m's old line up of vinyl's so the 1080 is the newest most up to date stuff. I use edge sealer and primer 094 for longevity and durability without any issues.

I can do anything you can think of in many different vinyls like hoods, side-skirts, front lip spoilers, spoilers, interior parts and more. You would simply send me your product and send me the total via paypal of the agreed upon price and when the product was finished id send it back to you free of return shipping.
For the door handles they would run about 75$ with free return shipping.
For any more questions feel free to reply or pm me.
If i can get enough people setup for a service like 10 sets of door handles i will start a official group buy.
Thanks

Would wrapping even a complete surface out? I have a few mild scratches on my interior pieces. Would they show through the wrap?

What would you charge to do the plastics around the intstruments and around the window switches? A gloss or flat black material would be perfect to get it looking new again.

yea we can do gloss or flat black. The flat black will show scratched like any flat black will. Any imperfections on a surface will show depending on severity. To do all the instrument plastics and around the door switches you would be looking at about 300$ free return shipping.

Very interested in this. Might have to source some back-up interior parts to keep the car on the road while you wrap.

Now sell me that V-Mount kit........

I'd be interested in the door handles but the bummer part is being without handles for the allotted time of the transfer/wrap/return...

Have you considered having a 'swap' core on hand? That way someone sends you a paypal "deposit" of the full amount ($75), you send them out the already wrapped handles, then once they receive the handles, they box up theirs, send them back and receive a refund of the difference for the core swap?

Just an idea

Thats a great idea id be willing to do that. But id want the customer to pay 150$ and when i get their handles and make sure they are in good working order (a good core) then id return the 75$.

Its a hard thing to do because buying used door handles are not cheap and hard to find. So say i charged a 100$ holding fee till i got the good core back. If the cores are junk then im out a whole lot more than 100$ just to get even used handles. And another thing i have to consider is the tab for the unlock rod is notorious for braking off. So say i get a set and it has cracks from stress and it breaks on my own car, then im out a door handle Best bet is Pm me and we can work something out.

I'm still interested in getting my interior pieces done. I just don't have $300 budget for aesthetics right now. All car budget is going to get the car ready for track time.

I ship regular fed ex ground. so whatever ground turnaround time is. I would have them finished in 2-days. so if you wanted faster shipping you would pay extra. So if i shipped the turnaround would be 1-10 days depending on your location in the US
