Who does good vinyl in Northern California? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

SummoneR · 05-22-2010, 01:08 AM

I am looking for a good place to have some typical vinyl done, and some custom work done here in Northern California. Can anyone recommend a good place?

More specifically Sacramento area, or close surrounding areas.

Thanks in advance.

SmokinBills 2SS does a lot of vinyl work for the local dealers. He did my car, and he also does the clear bra too.

check out his garage here...

Nice! Thanks for the info jx2bang! Much appreciated! I'll contact him.

SmokinBills 2SS · 05-23-2010, 08:46 PM

Thanks for the referal jx2bang!, sorry i did'nt see this post earlier. And yes I would be happy to help in anyway i can, we have vinyl in stock or we can get what ever you want right away. Lately i have been doing my own patterns on the black outs and gills. friday we did a black 2ss for a pro ball player. did it in factory inferno orange on the SS badges and Gills to match the stripes(per customer request)

Is it possible to do the entire back tailight area just like the "LS7" Camaro without using seperate pieces? Other than the trunk piece.

If so, How much to get it done?

I sure i could install that for $100 or less, thats with vinyl of course. Does the LS7 car have the vinyl going inside the rear tail light near the trim bezel, because that might be difficult to install all in one piece due to the contour. might be why they have seperate pieces

Jeanius · 05-24-2010, 01:15 PM

Yes it does its the whole section.

I have seen videos of when people vinyl wrap entire cars with a heat gun and a spatula type piece to press it to all the contours of the body, would it not be possible to do the same for the taillight areas?

Hey Andrew, try this site. http://www.ridergraphix.com/2010_Cam..._Blackout.html

Thanks Gary, But have the lower area in more than 1 piece is what I am trying to avoid, if its unavoidable I guess it will have to be paint

Alpinestar750 · 05-24-2010, 11:33 PM

you would have to do the rear section in a couple pieces with the angles involved. Just like that website above, but then add in the bezel depth pieces.

If you are closer to the Fairfield/Vacaville area you can check out JC Graphix 707-469-1268... Bill does great work too!

My car has work from both, lol.

Bump for an answer

The vinyl WRAP material is different material and is alot more installation friendly than regular sticker /outdoor vinyl

Please PM me if it can be done using the wrap material without any drawbacks. I have been trying to get this done for a long time now but the only vinyl guy i knew about in the area did nothing but give me the run around

Alpinestar750 · 05-26-2010, 01:42 PM

it may work with the wrap material, but you would have to remove the bezels and taillights to do the installation. with some good heat, it might work. Also, you would want to put down some striping on the outer bumper body lines first so you can hand trim after installation because matching that body line precisely would be nearly impossible. could work though... good luck Jeanius!
