If you were shopping for automotive grade vinyl, where would you buy it from other than Ebay?

Looks like Amazon carries it.

I got some stuff from MetroRestyling not too long ago. Decent prices, quick shipping. They were recommended by the member here with the wild track-prepped Fiero and E46 M3 road trip thread.

I bought the 3M vinyl that I used on my Oldwing from them as well. But it was through their eBay store -- not sure why that would rule them out. I recommend buying a small piece first because they'll send you a 10% off your next order coupon with the first order.

I'm not ruling out ebay it was just one place I was sure I could get the stuff.
I was looking to see if anyone had a line on a good place to get the stuff at a good price.

Pay attention to the age of the material as the adhesive ages badly. The vinyls are typically rated by years of uv exposure so for an Aver Dennison film an A8 would mean 8 year expected life.

Boat supply shop.

Maybe a craft/fabric store, but probably not.

I think he's talking about vinyl as in vinyl wraps not upholstry but I could be wrong.

In reply to JThw8:

Good point. My apologies for not being clear.
I am interested in vinyl wrap to add color to the Challenge car.
Pricing is more important than quality. I'd like it to look good for maybe 2 year but not needed longer.

Like Beer Baron said, a local boat shop carries it near me, but when doing the '52 Dodge I found some at Jo-Ann's Fabrics (a chain store).
