so you are wrapping it instead of paint? I guess if you dont like it/want to change you just peel it off? How is the durability?

I can't believe how clean that looks. Is that stuff durable (washing, weather, etc)? I'm curious about just doing my roof black.

Thanks everyone for the positive input! I have worked fast on this one, I just bought the car one week ago today.

The wrap is very durable and car wash safe (although i recommend hand wash) the box "says" 10 years but I wont have it that long for sure lol. Its easy to peel off down the road if you decide to go back to stock or change colors. Being that its matte white i was really worried about marring and fingerprints and such but this stuff is amazing, it has a its own laminate on it which is like a clear coat. I got my first dirty mar on it when i was squeegeeing the door and i wet my finger an rubbed it and with water it wiped RIGHT OFF! Its really some neat stuff, and you never have to buff it cuz its matte

Since I bought it one week ago I retinted the back window (shop that did it did a SHYYTY job and cut around the third brake light instead of going all the way), I lowered the coilovers, tinted the taillights, upgraded interior to all leds, wrapped the roof and half the car so far, and orderd sideskirts and about to order bumper.

looking good! I'm not a fan of color matched wheels but will hold my opinion until I see it finished. I do like the style of those wheels though

I'm not particularly a big fan of the entire tails being blacked out. IF you have mjor skills and can cut small circle where the individual LEDs come through, that will probably be BEYOUND SICK!!!!

I know this is coming from the guy doing a full wrap... but this sounds too time consuming for such a little effect lol idk well see what i decide to do once its finished. The main reason I kinda wanna keep the tails tinted is because the car is kinda like a advertisment for my business and demonstrates everything I do... tint, tails, vinyl, wraps, etc

MOAARRRRR PICS!

Been kinda slow moving today, slept in, dilly dallied around the house and had to help the girl clean house a bit, went to lunch. Pretty much all ive had time to work on the car was finish the rear bumper and do some touch up on edges and wrap the handles. Ill probably do more tonight if we dont go out, otherwise tomorrow should be the finishing day. Im hoping to see my skirts by next week sometime. Rims painted this weekend or next.

Keep in mind all this is done ONE Man'd I dont have anyone helping me roll out the large sheets of vinyl, or heating it and pulling it. This is usually a 2 or 3 person job.









Pics arent bad for a Droid 2 ehh Hopefully someone local has good photography skills and can do a nice shoot when its finishe :wink wink:
I think i shall name it project bahah

Or Project PAPER MAKER, lol this stuff looks very similar to a white piece of paper and kinda has the same texture when its on the car too. Feels smooooth
