DIY truck wrap with matte black vinyl

[etuffgong]

That's good news. I like knowing that it holds up.. I'm going to bite the bullet and have it done soon.. I wish I had the time to do it myself but after reading your experience, I'm going to pay to have it done..


I live In San Diego and will start looking for companies..

Marty, any issues with de-badging you truck? I plan on stripping mine this weekend - any tips would be appreciated!

No issues de-badging.

A couple of short sticks and some heavy duty fishing line... do a sawing motion back and forth. Cuts right through the tape.

I used some 3M glue remover spray to help with getting the residual tape off the truck. It doesn't affect the paint.

Get some 3M automotive 2 sided tape to put badges back on.

Thanx for the great write up !! I want to tackle the wrap on my 14 screw in Matte white instead of paying 3,000 .

Good luck and post some pics of your truck when you finish.

Also, post any tips or tricks you find when doing it.

Congrats on a great job. Did you mention how much total money you had in materials?

I am guessing around $900. I ended up buying some more wrap to do the flares which I didn't calculate into original roll of vinyl. Tools and stuff was additional. Not bad though.

I am trying to figure out my next color to do in a couple years.
