This is what I did on the weekend.... My new "Edition 1" Sedan
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.

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)

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

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

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.
