Matte Black Car Wrap
i am trying to figure out how much wrap ill need to cover the Z?
They have different sizes available but i can't seem to find out how much exactly its going to cost?
I searched on my350z.com but i wasn't able to find out.
for the people that have done this, how much wrap did yall use?

^^^ this.
OP, good luck my friend.. its the most dreadfully difficult vinyl to work with.. i mean it applies great.. but its stretchy like sran wrap... its tuff just to get it off the roll. so dont think it comes off all precise n perfect.. you will need to drape large pieces aacross the car and cut away much of it.
I left mine to a pro.. but this will give you an idea of how much extra you really use.
a full big piece of 60" material..
Just to cover this quarter panel.

50" x 50ft should be perfect for a car.

Na ive seen the finished product, i wanna see how it is done.
If i see it is a manageable process, then i will make the decision to possibly attempt this myself.
Im not that far from you i dont think, im like deer park/pearland area. I used to live in Sugarland, so i know the area pretty well.

I used a 20 meter roll on the tahoe and still had enough to easily wrap half of the Z afterwards. I'd say u need like 45 feet maximum, about the only part of the Z you can really **** up is the front bumper.... rest is cake
