Full 3M 1080 Vinyl Wrap (PIC HEAVY)

[retry_1]

I've always wondered with projects like this and plastidip, do you have to change the car's color on the title/registration? having to peel a corner or something to appease a confused police officer would suck.

Looks AMAZING though! cant wait to see the whole thing together with headlights and all.

I just talked to the guys at Metro Restyling, and they were very helpful. I have been looking into doing a vinyl wrap for some time now. I only live about 20 minutes from them, so I stopped by their shop. I will definitely purchase from them when it gets warm enough to wrap. They said I should wait until it is consistently above 50 degrees. I can get everything I will need for just under $500.

Nice! I think it looks great, good job. You sir, are a very patient man

Extremely good looking car! Props to you budd.

Good job, looks awesome!

Looks really nice, and sounds like it was difficult and a lot of work. I can't believe you are planning on stripping it all at the end of the summer and painting the car anyway, after you redo the hood for the third time.

Why the plans to strip it all off?

Couldn't you wrap clear 3m protective over the already wrapped front cover to protect from chips?

Has anyone tried the headlight/taillight wrap that metro offers?

Wrapping would be a cool thing to get in to.

Thanks very much for the info, this is gonna help us DIY guys out, especially the ones with the common crappy pain.

Looks great! Sounds like a nightmare..

Very impressive. Please post pics of your work with the CF wrap when you get to it...

Damn the results on the first page are awesome! I work at a car center and we offer vinyl wrapping for cars, but even our professionals' work doesn't look that great! Nice choice of color btw.

 

[M Baker]

That is really tough work! beautiful result - wow that looks impressive!

How did you wrap where the door meets the fender or where the bumper meets the fender? I noticed you said you wrapped it about half an inch under the hood, but you can't do that for the area where the door meets and fender and fender meets the bumper unless you remove them.

You could easily tuck it in with a credit card or something.

Still wondering why someone would go to all this trouble if they just plan on repainting the car in a few months.

 

[Breezio69]

Looks great!

Do you think 40'x5' is enough to do the sides, front and rear bumper? I want to do this but want to do two tone... hood top and hatch will be different than rest of car

[oreo4g63]

The wrap peeled/blew off of this car. Car is green again.

Ouch.

Any ideas on why? Is that just something to expect on wrapped cars or is there some installation step that was skipped or something else?

Dang.! How fast was he going

 

[Diamond Star Werks]

Honestly I can't remember why he said it happened, sorry.

 

[0utdoor_funguy]

Wow! That looks awesome! I like your idea! I'll consider doing my own vinyl wrap project as well but will probably seek some professional help from Gatowraps and Gatorprints
