Vinyl wrap instead of respray ?

Hi all

The aircraft I currently have a share in is looking a bit tired and tatty from too many nights spent outside the hangar. Apart from a bare metal respray costing thousands of pounds has anyone ( or can it be done ) seen a aircraft wrapped in lightweight vinyl. I have seen vehicles that have had this done ( sky tv vans for example) but was wondering if it is allowed on an aircraft. Obviously vinyl is allowed to be put on the outer skin as most aircraft have the registration and certain decals on the side, under wings and tail fin etc made out of the stuff. Any guidance or previous experience is appreciated.

Many thanks.
