BTW, are you having to use any Primer 94? I've heard it's recommended for the tight corners and places where you can't end wrap. That bumper looks like it would have several places that would need it, especially where the vinyl meets the lower faux grill areas.

Im using any primer, if you have good quality wrap, it stretches enough to get into all the nooks and cranny.

as far as wrapping around corners, im going about half inch into parts that are not visible and more on parts that are, that even just enough so you dont see the factory paint with all panels are closed.

I am using 3M Automotive wrap, it is heat activated and has air travel technology which makes it easier to get rid of tiny air bubbles if there are any.

i have to say, when i started wrapping, just the front bumper, i was regretting going with this color, M21, but as i wrapped more and more of the car, im loving it.

so @ANMVQ i think no matter what color combo you do, you will have to finish the whole car to get the full effect of the color and combo... just doing on part wont give you the full effect.

I've done quite a bit w/ the 3m 1080 scotchprint, I assume that's what you're using. Looking forward to the final pics

Are you doing this solo? I was thinking about doing it myself I just was wondering how time consuming it really is, and if a partner is necessary to lay the wrap.

yes, i am doing it solo..
it does help to have an extra set of hands for like the bumper and the hood just for the initial lay, makes it easier,
but it is possible to do it alone!!
