Wrap 2.0 --- Brushed Gray Aluminum

Brushed Gray Aluminum wrap, complete! This is my second wrap, the first being the Matte White wrap from almost 2 years ago. (http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/2nd-gen-tacomas/241083-matte-white-vinyl-wrap.html). If any of you have seen the first wrap, let me know which one you like better.

These wraps are very different, this wrap has a different look with a lot of changes on the tacoma itself. Since the last wrap i have gone with the mid travel fox setup, a pre runner bumper (thanks @jeffz0rz), some plastidiped wheels and the removal of the fender flares, and some various black accents along the way.

i ended up buying a cheaper brand vinyl because the 3m cost was much more than a normal color, but that was a big mistake! buy the good stuff, it will go on so much easier!! this gave me trouble from the start.

as i just mentioned, I did away with the flares and i wrapped right over the holes on the fenders. the wrap hides the holes perfectly, and it gives the body a little more stance with the mid travel.

enough talk.. heres the pics (more or less a start to finish timeline)





















































The blue behind the bumper was fixed up with a little gray plastidip that matches the wrap pretty well

let me know your thoughts!!!

 

i think it looks cool, way better than the ol flat black wrap.

 

To each their own!

 

Read the title and thought it was gonna look like shit...but I actually like it! Looks great!

 

Yeah this looks great. I think white is also a good choice from what I have seen but I would definitely rock the flat silver. How much money? Time? Should someone attempt this? I'm very detail oriented when it comes to vinyl stickers and I imagine this taking me a long time to do the finishing work.

 

Looks good, I'd like to do Krytek Typhon one day but I don't think I would have the patience.

 

Sweet, I've thought of doing the dark brushed.
I'd like to see more pics in the sun. Looks good tho.

 

I'm the same way man. I spent 450 on the wrap (i bought 45 feet, but i didn't wrap fender flares, roof, or front bumper). It'll take a solid 3 to 4 days of wrapping time. Keep in mind a lot of tear down is needed, not hard necessarily just time consuming (Handles, mirrors, plastic trim, ect..). If you have the time and patience i think its very attemptable and doable. Definitely more patience than skill is needed

 

for anyone interested on an update on the wrap.. it is holding up well and doing great with the texas weather. have had no problems with it so far.

 

i have plasti dip rims but your are day and night difference.the chrome looked bad but the plasti dip made them look great.

good job

Boss.

 

I guess I never updated this thread. But uh... anyone know a dent guy? The truck rolled so hard the wrap came off. Kidding, the truck was unwrapped then totaled and now probably in Mexico.
