Default Time for a color change

I liked my car in black but it takes so much time to keep it clean (especially living on a dirt road) so I decided to try a green wrap. It was a pretty fun project to do and I am just about finished now. Here are some pics.

Looks awesome! I wish I had the patience to wrap mine myself!

Thanks, yes it was my first one so there was a learning curve. I did have a friend helping me that has done one before and does clear bra professionally so that helped a ton! It still took forever though, I have about 60 man hours in it.

Here are some pics of the logos and wings. I used Plasti Dip to make them black. It was the first time I used Plasti Dip, and it was super easy to do. I also dipped the top of the wing after I wrapped it so I could peel it off if I didn't like it.

One costly mistake I made was not building a "clean room" to start. I had to redo a couple pieces because my garage was too dusty. I put up plastic from home depot and everything went a lot smoother.
