No, but your car is more than legend, it's one of those mythical beasts out of folklore that we hear about when young. That and you showing up is like getting Nitrouz or one of the OG builders at the meet, it just doesn't happen. lol

If the body isn't prepped correctly it will come off with the vinyl once you take it off. OEM paint is literally bonded onto the substrate. If it has body filler than it will even more likely come off.

New roll of vinyl just came in! Can't wait to start wrapping again. My wife suspects I've been munching on this stuff as well. lol

Nah, Z is staying the way it is. New roll being used to wrap the sedan. It's satin/matte pearl white.

I've been painting cars for 10 years, I think I might try this for a new challenge.

Did you do any more to the interior? I was thinking about wrapping some stuff in my interior but I wasn't sure.

It's slightly peeling back in a couple areas but nothing that can't be fixed. The 3m 1080 has held up nicer on my other car but I also did a much better job on it.

At night mostly, my car sits out in the sun at work for the majority of the day.
