Started my wrap tonight. The billet grille and trim was a MOTHER to get out. I'm so ready for the crazy two tone paint job that Regency did to be gone! Called the folks who apparently bought all their inventory and are selling Regency parts, to talk to them about the stupid fake Escalade vents on the fenders. I was assured they were only attached with double sided tape. NOT!!! Riveted in three different spots! Oh well, if I ever take the wrap off, I'll just have a body shop fill them in and paint.

I hope to be finished tomorrow!

Thanks for the questions guys. This job would be $3,800.00 if it were for a customer. Not all wrap jobs are that expensive. This is just a big vehicle AND we did the roof, which normally doesn't get wrapped on most wrap jobs.

Also, thanks for the heads up on my site. This definitely concerns me. I've forwarded the findings to the firm that handles this for us.

Very nice - is the flat hard to keep clean? Always curious about that, but man it looks cool.

Here she is...all finished up! Sorry for the delay, we've had some crazy weather here lately and today was my first chance for decent pictures. Altough, it's dirty from all the salt on the roads.

Looks good. I am still thinkig about this or doing matte clear plasti dip. Got a friend that does wraps for a lot of the Ravens players and said he would do it for 1500 so have to think about it.

Stuff tends to be pretty pricey as cost of living of said city goes up.

Any pics of the door jambs and such? Thx

Fuel---thanks for asking. It's easy to take care of, with a few simple steps. You want to stay away from any aftermarket car wash solutions and just use something really mild, like a few drops of dishwashing liquid. Also, no automatic car washes or rough brushes. I would reccomend hand washing a really nice mit. These to care for tips are not only for paint wraps, but for the other wraps we do too.

There is also a company that makes some waterless cleaner for wraps for a quick spray and shine. www.croftgateusa.com

Blackedout....that is an absolute crazy cheap price. I live by the rule, if it's too good to be true, it usually is. But, if you think your guy will do a quality job, then I would suggest to go for it before he changes his mind!

Great Job! Looks good. How durable is the wrap, in terms of resisting rock chips, shopping carts incidents, abrasions, etc?
