Are you a professional? How much was the vinyl itself?

I'm not a fan of matte G's, but that does look very clean!

Nice job

Thanks guys! It was definitely worth the time invested. I am NOT a professional, just started vinyl wrapping roofs a few months ago with 2 of my cousins but i guess you can say we are pros now Hopefully we can get some more full vehicle wraps. Got a buddies R8 and my C63 AMG coming up next!

As for cost, i bought 50 yards (150 feet) of matte. I bought it while ago and i think its like 1000-1200 for a roll of 25 yards. Kinda pricey and not many people carry it but its like the best stuff on the market in my opinion. I really liked the air release system in it over the 3M (wrapped my interior with 3M carbon fiber vinyl). Average price if you were to get it done at a shop would be around $3.5-4k.

Links to where this film can be purchased? Also, could you PM me some basic requirements to do something like this? Like tools needed and such. I have a steady hand and an eye for details. I think I could learn this. I'd love to do a matte pearl white or something along that line for my sedan.

Thanks for the compliments guys! It seems like everyone in the states is "out of stock" on this material. Its called ORACAL 970RA in satin black. Google search might be your best way of finding some.


GAU-8, Basic tools you need are a heatgun, razor blades (the ones that break off at the ends), "felt-tipped" squeegees, microfiber cloths, spray bottle, a buddy to help you stretch stuff and ALOT OF PATIENCE!

XLR8 & Mr.Samster, the wheels are 19" RH Evolutoin J8s that i had powdercoated satin black with gunmetal pearl lips. They are forged 2 pc wheels.

RH Evo is NOT Racing Hart btw.
