    I've been trained to wrap with Avery, Oracal, and 3M.
    I also have a 54" printer that can print on wrap vinyl. Have a plotter too for custom decals. There are metallic and pearl laminations that can go over anything printed to give it a real nice look.

    Zoom6 has fair prices on his wrap vinyl. Don't PM me for vinyl prices because I'll just tell you to contact him.

    As far as the amount of vinyl for the Miata I suggest more then 10 yards. You're not going to get each of those panels to fit that nice on your roll of vinyl. I suggest getting at least 2 extra yards then what you think you'll need.

      I think Id like to leave myself some wiggle room and its not too much more for me to grab an extra 10 feet from a site I was looking at

        Be careful with some sites/companies that sell rolls of vinyl. The fact that Zoom6 doesn't stock his vinyl assures me that he can be trusted.

        Vinyl has a shelf life. There are ways to lengthen or lessen that life span. In the end, it is best to get it fresh from the factory. Some companies out there may order mass quantities and sell them at their leisure.
        When they've been sitting too long and not taken care of they become more brittle and the adhesive becomes weaker.

          Wow, I guess I should check back here more often.

          I'd also be a little weary about that site. Even if you don't get it from me, keep in mind that this stuff is only sold in 3 lengths (10yd, 25yd, and 50yd). In order to sell a different length, they would have some left over. If they have some left over, it sits on their shelf until they can sell it. Unless they have people buying the same colors constantly, the stuff will likely sit on a shelf for a long time. Like MyBoyBlue said, the stuff does have a shelf life. The shelf life for the 3M 1080 is 3 years (in the original box, clean dry area, 40-100 deg, etc). If they aren't adhering to these guidelines, then the vinyl and adhesive will break down faster.

          I agree that having the extra vinyl would be better, but I still think it can be done if each panel is carefully measured and pre-cut. There is a risk involved though. If ANYTHING goes wrong, you'll have to buy more vinyl. Having said that, the choice is yours to make. Let me know if you'd like to order and I'd be happy to help. If not, no hard feelings.
