Wrapping your car?

I have wrapped my hood twice! Second time used some more heat and a wife(not the heat.) The project turned out very nice second time around.

I did the mirrors in carbon fiber (lots of curves and heat.) They turned outnice. Have the same wrap for a burntorange look on the car. I can do theextreme curves with a reflective surface why not try the body with a Gloss Burnt orange.

I am looking at some Ruger rims in a 20 diameter. Does anyone have this similar setup thatcould post some photos?

Also, what tires would you recommend at this diameter?

Thanks you all are very informative!

I like that comment! Not sure on it also. Like the color but I think I need to invest in some black rims first. This is my only constraint.

It can be done with a lot of time. I think this may be a winter project. Weather is too nice. See my before and partial after

Yeah, if you did that yourself I'm impressed. I tried doing it myself and it did not work out so well. Even had the wife helping.

Finally had it professionally done and I think it turned out pretty well................
