Wrapping the lid and wing must be a trouble

 

No, it was easy, i just did, will take pictures tomorrow

 

It is easy. You just have to cut where the grooves are and tuck. Cant to see the pics.

 

I want to wrap my car? Where do you guys get the vinyl and how much of it?

 

I got mine from metrostyling

Dont get a specific size. Just use the drop down and select car size.
And shazam

Vinyl!

 

Your Blue Porsche is Iconic!

 

So did you wrap your car yourself? have pics? Any tips...

Thanks,

anyone have color suggestions? I have a black 911 and was thinking matte white, matte black or matte grey.

 

Not a fan of matte paint. Looks like unfinished work to me. Add black wheels to that and it looks like a reclaimed wreck. Just my 2 cents.

 

what I saw of the finished rear bumper looked great... not so much the before steps, but it looks like it came out great... not enough detail to see the hood/roof etc..

looking forward to the finished pics...

 

I wrapped it myself yes. My car is an a garage far from where I live right now, its the middle of winter here in Germany.
Tips:
Take your time, always always take the time to make it look better. Dont take shortcuts. Its tedious, especially on P-cars. The rear bumper w/bumperettes is kind of interesting but once you get the end result. It keeps you coming back. Get a few different types of squeegees, felt, plastic, cardboard pieces, cloth. Use vinyl spray to move the wrap around curves and such. never never heat the vinyl too much, you can discolor it if it gets too hot.

 

What I am running right now is matte black w/ red innsbrucks and the red GT3 checker flag decals in gaurds red. Looks good. I loove it.
I always like to match the vinyl to what wheels I want to run. In my case, red wheels, and I knew matte black would look stunning.

So voila!

I would go maybe white on white? what kind of wheels do you have?

 

I would recommend to get professionals to do that. There are so many little details that could make a big difference. It is like painting your car, you can do it yourself and it will look good on the pictures but if you look closer.. not so much. There is a reason why people pay $10k for a good paint job. Same with vinyl.

It is important how you prepare your paint, how clean the garage is, the outside temperature, how you stretch the vinyl, post heating, primer usage, cutting, removing trim, and so on.. it all make a difference. Even if it looks great now, it doesn't mean it will stay the same in a week. And I'm not mentioning the corners, cuts and curvy parts of the bumpers that is a problem in 90% of the cars.

It is not that type of job you want to save your money on, but I guess it depends how crazy you are about those details.

 

done. For reference, i bought 60"x 30fts 3M 1080 vinyl, and this almost cover the whole 2002 c4s, except the hood and the roof. (i wraped carbon fiber vinyl for the roof and hood, maybe change to the same matte grey soon, no sure yet)
So 5ftsx40fts should cover the whole p-car. i mean 911.
