DIY truck wrap with matte black vinyl

[menerso]

I wrapped another piece on the truck.... It is small but i think it looks cool. I have not had any time to wrap with work and the kid. I am hoping to update more in a couple weeks.

So I wrapped the rear Ford emblem on the tailgate. Took about 15 minutes to wrap, just need to heat, pull, heat, pull, heat, pull to get it around the corners.

I am sure most of you know that taking off the emblem WILL break the tabs... No way around it. I just used 3M tape to put it back on. I ordered a new one just in case.

I will edit the first post with the part number of the emblem

I took the day off to work on the truck wrap. I was able to get the both front fenders, flares and the piece under the grill done. Next will be the tailgate and rear fenders... then the doors and finally the roof.

I found out that taking the flares off was very easy as long as you have a Trim Tool Kit. I didn't break one of the clips which is very easy to do from what I have read on this forum.

You can pop the plastic cap off the antenna base so that you can get in closer to the mount with the wrap.







Here are some shots with everything back together. You can't see it but I used the 3M Edge Sealer underneath the flares.

That is looking good. It would have taken me a whole day just to do the ford emblem.

It does not hurt your paint... if anything, your paint is better protected from scratches.

Yep it will protect your paint from scratches, small rocks, etc.
