DIY truck wrap with matte black vinyl

[OrangeAddict]

Unless your wanting the matte finish ya might want to check out the Xpel ultimate product. It has some self healing properties. That is what I went with and it has held up well to trail stripping.

how big of a sheet is needed for the hood?

It comes on a 5' roll. I believe I just measured the width and used that. You'll want some wiggle room. I cut mine a little short and had to stretch it more than I wanted to.

I just warped my hood this weekend . It took a 5' by 6 ' piece . I removed my hood vents and front grill the night before . I started at 8:30 am and finished at 12:30 pm including reassembly . It's not as easy as I thought ! I'm also good at installing # plate backgrounds and shroud decals on Mx bikes . Good luck .

Did you end up doing this? Any pics? My flares are looking a little best. I think wrapping them satin black or dark grey might look ok. I dunno hoping for pics.

I didn't! But I want to soon. I went with ADD bumpers and it looks great but I hate the fenders more than ever!

Nice job! After looking at all your posts and picture I'm inspired to wrapping it myself. Local spot here where I live wants $3600. So I think I'm going give it a try. Thanks again really inspired me.
