Are you going to keep the wrap?

It would make an excellent ad for your veg collection site if you put some stickers on it.

I coughed up something that color once, antibiotics sorted it.

Don't spill bio on it.  Before long the plastic will be flapping in the wind as you drive down the road!

There's nothing wrong with lime green cars, I like it.
So that's not paint, it's a plastic wrapper?
Cool.

Yes it's a vinyl wrap, done professionally.  Quite a hard thing to master by all accounts.

Green wouldn't be my first choice but despite that I do quite like it :)

It's quite possible to apply vinyl using soapy water allowing you to position the film before squeegeeing out the water.  Once it's stuck properly, it's very unlikely to get anything behind it.

It's been tested on the superstructure of large ships in place of paint and I think it's used on aircraft decals.

Well I think this guy knows what he's doing... and it has a new cambelt + IP belt + tensioners + bluetooth stereo + full valet - I'm very surprised he's parting with it.  My only concern is if it has some engine damage of some sort but he says sometimes it runs and sometimes it doesn't, so I'm thinking air leak or stop solenoid.

I've also got a spare VP37 pump inbound.
