    I want to have the corners of my chrome bumper wrapped in black gloss vinyl to match the truck. Have gone back and forth about dipping it and, if it's not insanely expensive, I think wrapping will match better and most likely hold up better.

    What would your shop charge to do this so I know where to start my bargaining? I assume I want to look for places that carry the 3M product. Thoughts?

    Just the two chrome end cars on the back bumper? With gloss black 3M and labor we wouldn't charge you more than $200. 3M will always be the best at wrap film. If you can get it for less than $200, that's a great deal...

    For $200 get them painted. Ou can buy the vinyl and wrap it yourself for cheap, it's not that curvy or anything so not that difficult to do yourself

    Gloss Black wrap will never stay polished/shiny like paint, it will not take a rock like paint, etc. I'd still recommend painting or buying painted ones just FYI. I'd expect somewhere between 150-200 black wrapped.

    If you want to try wrapping yourself I have plenty of gloss 3m wrap film here if you want to buy a couple feet or yards to try and play with it PM me.

    Would you recommend wrapping a white camper shell gloss black to match my tacoma to save cash vs painting? Looking to by this shell off Craigslist IMG_3997.jpgIMG_3998.jpg

    I would find some type of bedliner type material that is not bumpy closer to the factory fender flares would look good, but not sure how cost-effective as compared to painting
