I’ve reached out to numerous shops in the St. Louis area and nobody is willing to chrome wrap the car (and I don’t even want the whole car done)

what gives? Am I missing something?

does anyone in or around the area know of someone who will chrome wrap the car?

What do you mean no one will wrap it? They are too busy and can't get you on the schedule, won't wrap that color, or won't do it for the price you want?!

i have called up 10 shops in the area. 5 said they won’t work with chrome.
The other shops I went to said they wanted to see the car. So I showed up, talked to them, and we traded info.
I contacted them the next day with draft ideas and they just ghosted me.
after a few texts/calls they said they can’t do it.
price was mentioned and I never negotiated or stuck to a price.
was looking at $3500 average + cost of materials

so they simply won’t wrap chrome on the Supra from what I am feeling

I can’t wait to see the results once you find a shop willing to take your money. Chrome is killer if done right!

Chrome is very difficult to install and the Supra isn’t an easy car to wrap $3500 in labor sounds cheap for a chrome wrap

yup. Lots of lines, curves, and a clam shell hood. Everything has to be absolutely perfect or it will show.

I’m looking at either a rose gold chrome rap (all) or a color shifting chameleon chrome wrap (with matte black on certain areas)

Chrome wraps are illegal in most states. It's a big liability for shops to do it. It's only allowed on show cars. It causes glare issues and is generally not allowed because it's deemed dangerous.

Well my tint is illegal
My catless dp is illegal
My soon to be under glow will be illegal
And me driving 20 over is also illegal

but “yes officer. This is my show car. I’m currently driving to the grocery store and people are seeing it”

I'm just saying why shops are potentially not doing it. Are lots of other things illegal that shops DO install? Yes. Do I make the laws and/or agree with them all? No. Do people speed? Yes.

I’m trying to look up the laws for it but Havnt found anything for Missouri. I think I’ll just call the state DMV

I think you're going to have to end up going out of state to get it done. Or just buy a roll and wrap it yourself. Vinyl wrapping isn't that difficult and I've personally wrapped several things....its the patience it requires that gets people.
