    Did you do it all yourself? How difficult is it for someone with little to no body work experience? (I painted my own camper shell a couple yrs ago, so thats about the extent of my body work knowledge

    Yessir. The 2nd post on the first page is my write up. Which reminds me I still have to finish that...

    It honestly wasn't that bad. My girlfriend and I had no experience at all with vinyls or body work. We just researched and became Youtube pro's in less than 2 months before starting lol!

    Very cool, id want to tackle this myself if i did it. How much did the vinyl set you back? Ive been considering some 3m fiery orange (similar to inferno) for my DCSB

    I think another member that I was talking to a while back did his in that color. Came out pretty good.

    It cost me just shy of $500 to do the whole truck minus the camper

    Just washed the truck after the two trips and the wrap definitely has some pin striping, but you’d have to actually look for it along the truck.

    Also finally took the time to wash the engine bay in I don’t know how many years. Simple green works miracles.

    It might have already been stated, but there's 20 pages of chat, was dust a huge concern of yours during the wrap? I know you did it in a garage, but it didn't look all to "dust free"
