Foil wrapping?

Is anyone of you considering a foil wrap, instead of painting the aircraft? There are some interesting video's on YouTube, like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RC54fjPTxZU&feature=related

 

Most of the curvatures in our planes are simple bends, so it shouldn't be too difficult. There are films with solid colors available, also it it possible to have artwork printed on the film. One of the advantages I see is that all rivets and seams are sealed after the film is applied.
