Inspired by the post a few months ago by Impressive Wraps I decided to learn how to do a full vehicle wrap and wrap my car in matte blue metallic anodized blue. I'm pretty happy with the results. I did a few things differently including:

• Matte black window trim, strakes, lower rear bumper, meshes
• Gloss black roof and taillight trim
• Full door sill wrap

I would advise anyone contemplating taking a project like this on to be aware that this is a difficult and time-consuming task. I worked on it for a month and a half mostly nights and weekends. The professional wrap installers certainly earn every cent they charge for this job. If you don't have patience and attention to detail, or don't know how to take a car body apart, I would suggest you get a professional to do it for you.

A most excellent job (at least from this distance). Whatever happened to your engine cover overlaid with CF?

Still a work in progress. I have a spare so the car still has the original cover installed.

 

Absolutely beautiful work and attention to detail! Quite a transformation.

 

Awesome job! This one must have taken a while.

 

Incredible job, man! If you don't mind me asking, what was your total material cost?

 

Brilliant work !!!

 

Cost of material:
Under $1000US

Cost of the labor:
Priceless!

 

Great job, it looks super clean!

 

^^^ correction: I TRIMMED around every sticker on the door and door jambs.

 

Excellent!

I love it!

 

Realllly nice job Karl! Hope to see it in person.

 

Incredible work. This level of attention to detail is very hard to find. You should be very proud of the results. It truly looks fantastic.
