So, I was considering painting my bumpers and trim some type of black, but then got the bright idea of doing them in a vinyl wrap. Still has the polished finish of the original trim underneath in case I eventually want to put it back. If you're wondering, it's a 72 Challenger 318 car (now 340) nothing fancy, but I am looking to do more of a restomod type build. Anyone have experience using wrap?

Wrap is pretty awesome especially if you have a good guy doing it.

It's cheap enough to buy, I figure I'll give it a shot myself first and see how I like it, then go from there.

Please post pictures of your process.  Very curious of your outcome.

Did she use that razor tape to cut the stripe outline after the vinyl was on?
