San Antonio

So far, worth exactly what I paid for it. Downloaded, installed, won't BT connected. Deleted, did it again, worked better at matching instructions, but still no BT connect. Try again later. It's Hook 'Em Time!

 

does anyone in here have any experience with vehicle wraps? I am thinking I might like to wrap mine and try to do it myself

 

I tried my luck at painting today and that turned out terrible. So I figure the next step is to see how bad it turns out if I wrap it

 

Find the 3M brand wrap and make sure it says FOR AUTOMOTIVE USE somewhere in the ad. The automotive wrap is way more tolerant of compound curves and 3M handles the sunlight and smaller rocks well. HEAT and STRETCH it while you're applying it. As you heat it, it will stretch super easy, that's what you want. If you heat it too much, it will burn and rip. Stretch it well over any edges and stick it to the other side then trim with a razor blade. It's not hard, it's just tedious. Start at the top or at the hardest to reach places. If you nail the start, the rest will fall right into place. Don't sweat any smaller bubbles, the first time the sun hits it they will go away. The only bubble I have left started 6 inches long and the wrap got stuck to itself, now it's like two inches long and barely noticeable.

 

Thanks for the info buddy! Im thinking about a color change for the turtle. Heres the 3M i want to use

Gonna do the whole truck or just the hood?

 

Whole truck!

 

OK, definitely DO LIKE.
Hell yea my dude, do it to it! That would look super sexy.

I thought you meant just the hood! I was thinking how Christmas-y that would look, and just in time for the holidays!

 

Thats what i was thinking.. after the hood turned out like shit today, ive gotten motivated to change colors

Orange on green would definitely clash bad haha, no way i could do that

 

good decision

 

It's a pain in the ass if you're a perfectionist

 

That's a wrap

 

Here's a picture from today on our little trail run

 

Is that the area you thought was too sandy?
