Hey Fellas,

Looks good, is Vivid smurf blue the name of the wrap from the company?

How much would you need to wrap a 911? In my case, '76 G Body.

Or try putting on hood and side stripes first.

For a diy first timer I would buy around 50’ for a 76G. This would give you enough to redo a panel or two.

I've not been a fan of hood and side stripes on cars. I think a full wrap is the direction for me.

same here. No racerboy stickers for me. Miami blue wrap will look great, tho you may miss the classy look of your CWM paint.

Im leaning heavy on Miami blue. CWM is classy and under the radar but atleast these wraps are reversable

Matte Miami! I saw a post the other day asking for pics of matte Miami but no one could produce. I’m dying to see this.

Coming from a Miami blue owner.

Wraps are cool for color changes and for a stand off (6-10 feet - hey social distancing, LOL) look. Fair warning though, it can't replicate the gloss and look of paint. So if your aim is more than just a fun color shift then another option is spray on plasticized paint which can be removed like vinyl later, or you can overwrap your vinyl wrap with clear film. Either way if professionally done you are looking at a lot of money. The promise of of sprayable wraps are still not there with a lot of orange peel and sand/finishing required to get a real glossy look like paint, from the products I've seen. New products are coming out all the time so there maybe some that are out which have a better unfinished result- just be aware most are not spray and walk away- they need a lot of work to look good.

Just some insight from someone who has wrapped his car and done a lot of research into the new spray wraps. In the end, I decided I'm happier with paint and willing to find/pay for the color I want.
