I've always been curious -- how do you "repair" vinyl? I mean, at some point, it will get a rock-chip, right? Is there some liquid or a patch? Or do you have to just get the whole area re-done...?

You can change colors anytime you wish, as an added advantage.

Its the best option for leased fleet vehicles. It's becoming popular in the exotic crowd. But yeah, done right it can be expensive. I did the stripes on my 944 out of boredom, the worked well for a year until I pulled them off without too much effort.

It all comes together now. The guys at RUF recently did a Carrera GT in matte black and I didn't realize what the photos showed until today.
