That's all the hand holding you get. Now you'll have to Google "Vinyl Wrap in ATL" on your own

BTW, before and after pictures are appreciated... even from folks that DO like chrome.

Until / unless someone here is from ATL area and pipes up, talk to local shops, detailers, clubs, and folks hanging out at "car places"
