that marble looks insane, do you have more pics? outside in the sun?

Sure, dont think its nearly 100hrs, about 2-4hrs per panel, 40hrs max that is for someone like me with no experiance. Also i can't imagine $1800 in material cost unless you're doing a bus.

I have a wrapped boat and the roof of my Z is wrapped.

If you do a printed wrap you need the UV overlay or it will toast. I can scratch it with a fingernail. IMO rocks will chew it up on a car, but you can replace sections when said damage occurs. Said chips will eventually collect dirt and it will show just liked it a torn sticker. You don't need to wax the wrap, wash with the same products as a car. Don't take through a car wash. Make sure your edges are either permanently taped down or the wrap is secured with 3M edge lock.

My local shop has done a coating over the wrap before, for max protection. Seems like a good idea if you're gonna go that route

I have painted a lot of cars.
If you are fitting aftermarket fenders and bumpers extra work involved.Use the best Primer, paint,clear,activator.Need to get body flat and perfect.Better than factory.Prime and block sand.The body prep is 80% of the job..Several coats of paint to lay down.I will put 3 coats of high soild clear on top of that.Then I will sand and buff the clear to get a glass finish. I do not mean to be rude but to get the finish I like is a lot of work.Easy100hrs.
