Newer cast vinyls used for wraps are in the 4mil range.
Weight is the same, on a car, if not more than a normal paintjob.
Wraps are temporary...short life...whoever told you they last longer than paint is very wrong.

We use and install calendared vinyls which i think are more durable.
This what we print on....and laminate.
But mostly for flat wraps. Truck sides, etc
To properly conform and wrap a vehicle body, cast vinyls are the only choice.
You also need to be careful about who prints the wraps and how.
There are a lot of crappy methods out there.
I think its all solvent printing with UV special qualities.

In cut vinyl, you could apply 1.5 - 2 mil vinyls and get 2- 5 years out of them.
I am not up on how vinyl fairs on aircraft.
Different exposure and environmental effects.


I think your design is a bit busy.
The wings could use less parts...make each part thicker, wider, etc
I like the size of the side coverage, but the design is all over the place...very confusing.
You also don't need those claws (in my opinion).
A larger beak and more solid head would be better too.
Just ideas.
