Finally finished the brushed titanium wrap!

So I own a wrap company in Austin, Texas and we are so busy that getting my own car in is always a pain...so I dropped it off 6 weeks ago and had the guys work on it little by little. We did it in brushed titanium. Love it! Hope yall do too!

Yes these are the wheels/tires I have for sale in another thread.

Nice personalized plate! Not so sure about the brushed finish but kudos for dealing with the wrap on some of those panels!

Looks good!
How long do wraps typically last?
Is there any maintenance that u have to do to keep wrap looking good?

Yes....the finish is very brushed stainless. The actual brushed stainless is a bit lighter and brushed aluminum is almost white.

The brushed isnt for everyone but it catches the light in a way that regular matte films can't.

As far as special care...not really. We wrap exotics, luxury and race cars almost exclusively. I tell people to treat your wrap like a freshly polished paint job. This means simply...just be careful. If you scratch the wrap...chances are you may have scratched the paint if the wrap wasnt over top.

...and yes the GTS front bumper was definitely on the harder side of things. The rest of the car is pretty basic.

doesnt everyone and their mother on this forum have “ the same car”.?

he wrapped it. The curves make it a little more challenging than the relatively flat surfaces like the hood.

Prefer the 18 grill, part of the reason I went new.

Love the wrap very original.

I wanted to the new grill, that was a deciding factor for me when looking for the car.
