Hood Wrap - 3M Matte Black

[Fred]

Awesome, The Beast loves the love!
AND sorry OP for a slight derailment as Your thread continues.....

Fred- you wouldn't mind shooting a pic with the sun shinning directly on your Raptor? Trying to distinguish if I want Flat black or vinyl to match the flares/grill.....

Thank you. Truck looks great, sticks out MEAN!

Hey SwampKing,

I am thinking of goin satin. Is there any special care vinyl wraps need when washing? Can u wax them? Is there a special product to care for them?

Yeah,

Just had a lot of family stiff...long week and the five hour drive each way was a lot, plus the kids wanted to do some things...

Thanks for asking...great weather down here as well.

Here are some more pics for I just took...let me know if you want anything more specific?

Thanks Bud, sorry I missed yesterday,

Oh... how is the New Livewire?

I hear ya that is a long drive. Seems even longer when the kids are in the truck too lol.

Ur wrap looks great man.

The live wire is great the tunes are badass. I need to mess with it some more to really get a feel for it. I'll put a review in my build thread once I play with it for another week or so.

Nick,

I use soap and water to wash it but have used all my detail products and have not had a problem...I would not use a paste wax or a polish...

I think the satin would look good...I thought about a grey...something just a little lighter than the matter black...

Thanks. Yeah I am thinking satin but I also am thinking about something that might match the sterling grey if its possible.

Nick,

I did mine with the wet method...made it easier to move around and squeez out the soap water...biggest thing for me is having an extra set of hands...plus take the grill off...The Avery product is very forgiveing wet...

The wet is great for someone like me...just remember it will take a LOT longer to cure...enclosed area is really needed for a wet wrap IMO and should allow to cure for 24 hours....doing it in a 70 degree garage and then driving out in 30 degree temps might cause problems...

Did not use the and mounting hinging...
