Vinyl Wrap Shop

My work recently moved into an office space at the Club Auto Sport in San Jose. In the building there is a Vinyl Wrap shop. I went to go check it out today, and asked about getting my Trunk Garnish wrapped. Mike who runs the place was very polite and came out to my BRZ. He could have told me we can do it for $XX, and I either would have accepted or declined. Instead, he gave me a piece of vinyl for free and also a squeegee tool so that I can attempt to do this on my own. He also took the time to explain how vinyl wrapping works, and also pointers on how to apply this stuff. I've seen his work and the end result looks excellent. A couple of days ago he was working on a 2015 Corvette that came out real nice. I trust his skills to work on my car.

Feel free to stop by Club Auto Sport and check out the cool cars on display. If you do stop by, send me a PM so we can hang out and grab lunch or something. And check out Mike at Miller's Vinyl Graphics. He's a cool dude and his Vinyl Wrapping skills are on point.

I'll be posting up a pic later on how it comes out. It's my first time Vinyl Wrapping, but hey it was free!!

Sounds like a cool guy. Good way to drum up business to help you out on something small like that. Things like that make me drive out of the area to get work done.
