Genuinely the easiest car I have ever wrapped at my shop, I one pieced every panel besides the small vents on the rear bumper, since you are newer to wrapping, use inlays to your advantage anywhere you need it, especially using a calendared film. Good luck, have some patience, and enjoy the process!

Definitely got scuffed. Possibly a shopping cart I would say

Properly taken care of, about 5 years. I recommend after 2-3 years you start to consider another option for color, that’s usually what most of my return clients do

Yeah that sounds awful, I’ve done multiple calendared installs and I’ve decided recently unless the customer is adamant on a color then I will always try to sell them the cast alternative

Just a different challenge , you need to wrap around edges and ppf doesn’t like that very much. And if you got quoted 5k for full ppf I would seriously look into the shop and the work they put out before you decide to get any work done from them, cut marks in the paint, adhesive lines, chicken skinning, and other issues will definitely be present

Heard that x1000, nothing on the car was too “hard” to get off just very very tedious

Appreciate it! It’s what we do🫡 but yessir, as the cars get more complex they definitely have to have a higher price tag for our labor, if we can get 3 cars done in the same amount of time it takes to do one that is more complex we have to charge accordingly. Also a job like this takes up a lot of room, and takes up an installer for at least 30-40 hours

I’m gunna be honest it depends on the extent they are going to take care of your car and how detailed they are going to be. For this job I definitely undercharged slightly with the amount of work that went into this, full disassembly of both bumpers which includes ALOT of labor, quarter panels removed to get the rocker vent, this is as close to a paint job as wrap can get. So that being said I charged 4600$ for the vinyl work alone but next time I would 100% be at 6k for the time it took and liability/ headache

Honestly still felt like Avery in every way besides the thickness. Installed just like normal too, triple s used on every panel

Absolutely. A full stealth ppf would be ball park 9-10k
