I've got a client that needs a one day color change wrap for a film shoot, so they want matte. I haven't used 631. Can anyone give me any insight into whether or not this would be an adequate option to be on for one day and then removed. I think generally putting it on and taking it off are no problem. I'm more concerned about how it would hold up if it happened to rain that day.

Are you looking to print the color or buy a colored film? general formulations automark is a good cheap option for a wrap or 3m makes a changeable printable film that can do basic curves/rivets and is easy to remove (IJ3555).
I just don't know if 631 will have the conformability that you need for a wrap. As far as holding up if it rains I think really any film will do just fine.

I'd say go for it. Just for 1 day you can make it work. You can always photoshop out excess seams later if necessary 
it's film and i'm not involved with that part...but i like the way you think!I'd say go for it. Just for 1 day you can make it work. You can always photoshop out excess seams later if necessary

631 is a horrible choice to wrap anything. You can do it, but you're not gonna have fun. Doesn't conform or stretch like wrap purposed vinyl. You never said what the color needed is. For just a photoshoot and not leaving it on after? I'd spend the money on a Photoshop guru and just have the color change done in Photoshop.

Agreed, but it doesn't seem like that's going to happen based on what's been posted so far.
It's a film shoot. I'm not involved in anything other than providing them with a wrapped vehicle. I'm leaning toward standard wrap vinyl anyway. It's a fast turn around and I'd rather not fight an unknown material that doesn't have air egress or reposition.

why not just plastidip the vehicle and peel off when done, won't take long to do and it's inexpensive.

I think you have the right idea here. You want something as easy as possible to install so it looks good on camera.
Your labor time will be what counts, not that the material will last longer than they need it to. The faster you get it on (and off) the more money you will make.
We use IJ35 when we do temp partial wraps for the dealers here that are going to come off in a few months, if they are flat. If we have to wrap bumpers or other compound stuff they get IJ180 with lam. Use the good stuff and charge what you need to make money.

What about Metamarks cut vinyl Metascape 7 series, its a high performance calendered vinyl with air escape....and comes in a good range of gloss colors / flat black & fairly cheap. (you'll probably pay 1/2 what we get ripped off with.)

I wouldnt use 631 or 651. What you save on material will be eaten up in extra labor expense and the aggravation of it all. Don't get caught up trying to save someone else money at the expense of your own time and sanity. It's not as if they're cutting you in on their profits for helping them.
