Anyone have their Z vinyl wrapped?

i have a black Z and i have the same problem you have. The front bumper is just so difficult to keep up with. If you really want to wrap the car, you can wrap some easy part by yourself so you can save a little bit of $$. What i was thinking is to repaint the front bumper and wrap the hood with carbon fiber. although it's not a carbon fiber hood, at least i can protect the hood from chips.

Mine has a few things wrapped, photos in my album : )

It's black, fairly heavy mil vinyl.

Did anyone here wrap their car yet? If so, how much material do you need. Most rolls come in 5ft length rolls. How many yards or feet of it do i need? Thanks

A standard full roll is good enough with some spare material incase of any mistakes or touch ups later down the road without having to buy another roll.

Hey guys, new to the forum here, hope i'm doing this right. I just got done wrapping my Z in Satin Frozen Vanilla by 3M. I ordered 50 feet of material which comes on a roll 60" wide. I used almost all of it and was actually a little nervous towards the end that I might not have enough. If you are wanting to wrap your Z, I would say to order 60 feet of material just to be safe. I have more pics of my vinyl wrap process on my profile if you want to check it out. Feel free to ask questions.......

That came out great! Did you have any prior experience going into it? Difficulty on a scale 1-10? How many hours do you have into it?

Very impressive!

Thanks for the complements, I appreciate it. I'm pretty pleased with the results myself. Now i'm trying to figure out what color to do my wheels. haha


As far as the wrap, I have some experience with vinyl wraps, but mostly just partial wraps like roofs and hoods. This was my first full wrap. It isn't that difficult of a car to wrap, but the cleaning and prep work take forever, especially when doing it all alone. I honestly don't know how many hours I have into it because I did it over multiple days. Hard to say on the difficulty because vinyl takes a lot of practice to figure out. So if you have done vinyl wraps before this car is probably super easy, if you haven't done it before i'm sure it would be a pain.

Painted front bumper? (In the middle) or wrapped? I feel like that area would be the hardest without cuts.
Also how was the rear diffuser(if you wrapped that as well).
Currently have some black wrap laying around and was thinking about ripping off some plastidip for the gloss wrap.

Also, any reason why you didnt wrap the handles?

The front is just plastidip for now, haven't had the time to wrap it. Planning on doing it carbon fiber to match the roof and rear diffuser. The diffuser wasn't too bad to wrap. Hopefully i'll have time soon to get the front done and will probably do the wheels and handles black as well.

I did this a few years back no chips or dings
Best thing to keep Z looking good also did my F150
XPEL is the best out there!

I was always wondering what happens after the vinyl is removed?!?

Any negatives for the existing paint and in particular the clear coat?

Any first hand experience?

DobeZ

Yes, vinyl wraps can be removed without hurting the paint. They also help protect the paint while on the vehicle. It is not as thick as a Paint Protection Film, but will help with some of the smaller rocks and debris.

DobeZ your Z looks Dope!!! It really turned out very nice.
