anyone experienced with this??

my hood/bumper are destroyed from bug damage and i dont feel like paying to have it repaired

i was looking into this wrap
http://www.hyatts.com/sign/3m-220-sc...unpunch-3.7228

from what ive read it works very well and can last up too 8 years

i figure i can take my time with it doing one section at a time and have it look good for around 300 dollars.

i think 2 48" x 10 yard sheets should do it

 

I'd pay for new paint and clear coat, it looks so nice....

 

i wont have money for paint for a lonnng time.. and when i get it, itl be going to wheels/tires and bolt-ons


im fairly confident that im going to try this, i was just looking to see if anyone had any experience/tips

 

If you are going to use vinyl, why dont you use 3M Di-Noc?? It looks just like Carbon Fiber.

 

i might for the roof but id rather get a carbon hood/hatch instead. also i heard Di-Noc was not an outdoor wrap?

 

Di-Nok is rated for 4 years outside. It will last even longer if you park inside. 4 years should give you time to save for a paint job

 

I have no experience with that vendor but I had my roof wrapped in gloss black vinyl last year and it's held up pretty well considering that I daily the car.

Find a good vendor on the forum or local to you if you decide to do it.

 

I would not recommend the 220 series.... If you are going around compound curves and want to do it all in one piece ( seams look aweful) then you will need something that is rated for that

See chart below:




I would agree with RandyK1, 3M's Di-Noc series of vinyl (which comes in about 600 different themes/colors.... not just carbon fiber) is very easy to work with. When heat is applied it becomes very malleable.

Notes to think about though:
-The vinyls listed will get beat up/chip apart much faster than paint/clear coat unless a lamination is applied.
-The vinyl will show any imperfection it is laid on... ie. if there is a crack/ chip missing in the bumper you will see a deformation in the vinyl....

PM me with any questions though, always here to help!
