Default Vinyl wrapped my car in a week.

So I wanted to embark on a journey to vinyl wrap my car. Not only that I'm a beginner at it, I chose to do it in chrome which many vinyl wrappers will know is very difficult to work with. Well I've finally finished the car and unveiled it today at Cars and Coffee Palm Beach. Here are before and after.

Ultrasonic blue


Rose Gold Chrome

Wow.... from the pic, it looks really good. Especially for it being your first time wrapping a car.

Nicely done!

Bet that wasn't easy to do, never seen a rose gold metallic finish before..... looks great!

Did you get much attention at the unveiling? Bet you did! That colour in sunlight must look amazing!

Congrats!

Nice work! I can't say I'd rock that color (it's a bit too "loud" for my personal taste), but it looks like you did a great job. Congrats.

I agree with everything said here. Good job Lam on the wrap, it looks professional. you saved yourself loads of money DIY. What brand wrap did you use? What ere your steps?

I was about to call bluff on you thinking that was not the same car. I am not a big fan of the wrap color but it does look good and the reasons I was about to call bluff was because of the the new/different rims and wheel gaps. Big improvement!

Again, looks good and good job.
