ArcTec34 Posted June 29, 2010 Author Share Posted June 29, 2010 I'm not getting laminate. I'm going to have this on my car for 2 years and it will hold up fine for that amount. I got 2 48 inch by 15 yard rolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArcTec34 Posted June 29, 2010 Author Share Posted June 29, 2010 Laminate also is less of a big deal because this is not printed vinyl with anything on it, it is just the vinyl, and no print material that will fade, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laz Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Nice! I like you hair dryer! A lady that is a pro wrapper says she can wrap an average size full car in two full 8 hour days. Let's se how long it'll take you. You should take a note of time for each piece you wrap. GL X --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemo Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Oh this is gonna be so sweet!!! Good stuff Arctec! You should have wrapped the whole trunk when you had the bottom piece off. It would have made it easier. And your exhaust tips aren't centered properly If you don't vote Trump, out, you're a bigot who hates america.

meier motor sports Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 i would definatly do this. not black though for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArcTec34 Posted June 30, 2010 Author Share Posted June 30, 2010 Hahaha. I'm taking my time and I also don't have much time..so I'm only trying to do one piece ish a day. I also am getting my front bumper repainted on the 12th before I wrap it, so that will limit me. I have the new hangers to fix my exhaust but I'm too lazy!! Haha and taking the piece off takes less than a minute, ill wrap the rest of the trunk tonight  Nice! I like you hair dryer!

ArcTec34 Posted July 3, 2010 Author Share Posted July 3, 2010 yeahh here, I finished the trunk, and did the mirrors.

ArcTec34 Posted July 6, 2010 Author Share Posted July 6, 2010 kinda botched the grille...you can't see it in the pic but the bottom part is a little streched and discolored- when you stretch matte vinyl too far it gets glossy.. I'm going to leave it for now though, will redo towards the end of the project http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs095.snc4/36118_1349849869842_1339200078_30839607_5348362_n.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grimbeaver Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 I assume that grill mesh is not vinyl-ed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
