Vinyl wrap for my f10 535i

wilsonhhs · 04-15-2015, 02:50 AM

Got the vinyl today and try to wrap it myself. The colour is avery satin pearl white. For me it's better than 3M's cause it can avoid the color change with different direction work. Finished the hood and fender for 3 hours.Gonna be tough job but I'm enjoy the time with my car. Will keep update if someone have same interest with me

Subscribed! Awesome that you are attempting it yourself. I want to do the same. How hard is it being your first time doing it? Also, what brand did you use and where did you purchase from?

lsturbointeg · 04-17-2015, 09:28 PM

Looks sweet!

Man Kudos for that one! I ordered a couple rolls of 3M off amazon just to do little pieces of my car and im already procrastinating! I dont think I have the patience to do my entire car.

Hey bro. Sorry for late replying. Before I decided to do it by myself. I do many preparation for it like watch video through YouTube as well as see how other people do it. I began to wrap it in 4/14 average 2 hours per day and it still have front/rear bumper and two doors to go. It must be tough and definitely need tons of patience, but I'm enjoy it and that would be easier. I bought from metrorestyling and the wrap is Avery satin pearl white. Hope that work for you bro.
