That is a 1999 report and the sunshine committee tries to implement that almost every year but the HP will not change their colors. Only wishful thinking.

I spoke with a trooper at a show not too long ago that said they were thinking of going to a vinyl wrap. The cars could then be sold in black and eliminate the repainting costs. It would also get cars off the road with the black and cream paint underneath. Guess what we were discussing.

The technology to "wrap" cars with the newest Avery Dennison brand wrap material is incredible! Print whatever your mind can design and it can be applied to a car. The wrap material now has a 5 year warranty and is much easier to remove now due to a technolgy change.

This stuff is not longer just a sticker! This is now a much better way to go than paint. Damage a car, fix the body and replace the section of the wrap that is bad.

Expect to see more of this technology for police use IF the agency's want to keep their "colors" and designs in the future. Removal of the wrap is much easier and will not deface the car. With a complete wrap you can buy whatever color car you want. With a partial wrap you still only need to be a single color car.

Instead of ordering a black & White, wrap the black part of the car and apply your livery logos and your done. Keep the livery logos on the wrap and your can very easily take a car out of service or repair damage.

This newest technology is really neat!
