Gloss. It's pretty good but it's no paint.

(Not sure what "WAG" means)

To give an estimate on time spent.
I'm new to this so it took a lot of time figuring out how to remove some of the car pieces. And there huge leaning current for the vinyle I also hit a few road blocks. I have a full time job and two kids in school/summer camp. There was a lot of stopping and starting which requires a lot of car washing.

- 50ish hours in it so far no help no extra hands.
-45 feet cost me $330 delivered in Vvivid wrap. (Different colors different prices. And I'm not doing my roof)
-Tools estimate $50
-Masking tape and knifless estimate $50

I'm taking a break from it right now cause my fingers are so tired if all the pulling. Vinyl requires a lot of finger strength.

I'm not doing it my self to save money ( or time). I'm doing it for fun or what some would call a hobby.

It's enjoyable. I suggest it if you enjoy this kind of thing. So awesome to tell people I did it by my self with zero help.

Looks phenomenal and the only thing I'd change is the tail lights and leave them stock. Fantastic work!

I'm in FL too...how much for you to wrap my ISc?

Also, how are those triple LED headlights at night? I'm very particular about headlamp performance at night since that's pretty much the only time I get to drive my ISc. Thanks.
