    Wrap That Thing!

    Thanks for the kind words everyone. It's not as hard as it looks, just takes patience. And... I'm just about out of patience....... It's still not done. All that's left is part of the hatch, rear bumper, was and the lower part of the front bumper. Oh, and I'm getting worse about taking...

    Getting closer, but still soo much left. I would say I still have over 10 hours of work until it is all the same color blue.

    Wrap That Thing!

    Here it is all blue right after it was painted. Not the best picture, but I'll probably put these stripes back on. Im thinking the sunroof will be blue, not black. May not even cut around it. It might be nice to not have the wind noise.

    No progress on it tonight. It's looking doubtful I'll get it done before saturday morning. :nonono:

    Wrap That Thing!

    Thanks! It is turning out well, but it is still very much a "10 footer" car. A vinyl wrap does not hide any imperfections in the body. If anything, it amplifys them. I was debating on wraping the body moulding in black, or putting the stripes back on that were on it. I'm leaning towards...

    Good question. I guess all I can say is, it's just like painting a car. It's all about prep. As long as I clean everything really well, it will stay stuck. I'll be keeping an eye on it, but im not terribly worried.

    Everything we print we laminate with clear to protect from uv rays, and chemicals. Whatever they had was probably made just for a "rock guard" application. The clear laminate we have would be impossible to put on a bumper and have look good!

    Wrap That Thing!

    Back at it again tonight.... Someone asked me above how I was going to do the bumper. Simple answer, I'm gonna cheat. Lots of seperate pieces, with the seams hidden in body lines as much as possible. Oh no! I crumpled it all up! Magic vinyl.. just pullit back apart. Yea.. there...

    Wrap That Thing!

    I got my material from metrorestyling.com I got 60" x 45' which should be enough to do the car, plus some extra if I goof up. I found a cupon code online, and shipped to me it was about $360 What I picked was what I wanted, but also it ended up being one of the cheaper colors that they had...

    The vinyl im using is very forgiving. You can fold it over on itself and peel it back apart. It doesnt really "stick" until you apply preassure. That being said there is still a learning curve as to how much heat to use, and where to pull. Id put it at a 3.5. You could probably train a monkey...
