I finally had some time to do this...

My buddy and I did this over the weekend.

3M 1080 Matte Silver. Took us a total of 12hrs to complete with lots of breaks in between.

I personally like Avery Easy Slide wrapping vinyl more... but this is all we had on hand.

I'm going to do the roof in brushed black aluminum... Material should take a couple of days to arrive.

Before and after (This photo makes the wrap look a lot lighter then it really is)


The process.

Matte silver with black rims. Pure perfection

Thanks everyone!

Ah the stock color is underneath... I can switch back anytime I want... But for now I'm really liking the matte silver (protects the nice paint underneath lol)

Sebs

Amazing!, but I another person prefer the stock color. When will I get to see this beast??

Do you think you'll have some spare black aluminium wrap to remove my exterior chrome? (doors trim, grill, trunk trim, possibly fog light?) How much would it cost?

Rsquad911

All winter long =O(

You have to see it in person. It's a metallic matte silver. I can always wrap it something different next year.

I was trying to get it ready for cars and coffee this past Sunday.... But got too tired...and didn't want to show up with a un wrapped rear bumper hahaha!

I love the stock color... That's why I bought it hahaha! The wrap will prtect my paint over the winter. I want to see your beast!

I should.. I dunno if the supplier will sell me by the yard or an entire roll.... The entire roll 25 yards costs $1100

ok... i cant wait any longer... how about pics of the car in daylight? and are you around town this weekend or next?! lol...

Merc63

Is this something that is hard to do??? Id love to wrap my car myself.

I'm in NYC this weekend... Need to check on my place and see how much water damage there is =O( I'll snap some daylight pics tomorrow... I've been swamped at work (no pun intended in regards to my NYC trip haahah)

If you're good with your hands and have a lot of patience it's not too bad of a job to do.

Here are some more color accurate pictures during the install...

do you have any tips for someone that may try to attempt this themselves? also, how much vinyl was required?

Rsquad911

Purchase the proper tools for the job
Clean and prep curves and edges with alcohol
You will need approx 20 yards of material

The front bumper is pretty tricky.... 2 people would be a good idea.. One to hold the other to heat and stretch.

are those the 5 LED Sidemarkers?

Rsquad911

No just regular tinted clear side markers
