Wrap vs Paint

radren

I am back in line, waiting to get my T@B. I looked at many trailers and was drawn to the T@B because of it's design and look.  My problem is I love the way the trim outlines the trailer's silhouette but my model won't have the trim. It looks very plain next to the regular models. I had thought to have the "Trim" look done with a vinyl wrap. However the technical issues with fine details on a wrap make putting a border around the edges of the trailer almost impossible or impossibly expensive. They can do a lot with a wrap but the most important detail for me in doing a wrap was to mimic the trim around the trailer's silhouette and that is just not gonna happen. So I am now going back to having the trailer painted, if that is even an option.  Anyone out there have any experience with getting their T@B painted by an airbrush artist? Does the surface allow or take paint well? Any information would be appreciated.

Several of my Sisters on the Fly have had vintage, and one new, trailers painted.  I can send you photos if you'd like to see some.  Most reflect childhood homes, areas, pets, people, etc.

That would be great, thank you.

T@Bs.  Not sure if the Beetles is a wrap.

SOTF trailers.  If you "Google" Sisters on the Fly images, you'll see some wraps and some custom paint jobs.

The Beatles may be a "wrap" group, but your picture is of the Rolling Stones.

Thanks for all of these thoughts. Where would one get a t@b painted? A car painting outfit?

We are looking at the same kind of thing. I'm not sure how well paint will stick to the sides. We are leaning towards a wrap. The aluminum front/top/back is painted and would take paint well.
