Brushed would be hard as you would need to keep the brushstrokes all going the same way, doable but would use a lot more vinyl! I carbon wrapped my old 350Z a couple of years ago, that was a pain keeping the weave the same way!

Haven't tries that type of vinyl yet. And yes. Carbon is pure pain. China brand carbon is easier to install. Lol

I think the chrome looks amazing, problem is that it can be illegal because it's a distraction

Safe for auto paint also Wipe everything .

Clay bar is must. If there is Anything on the paint. And I meant Anything , it pops out when it gets under vinyl.
Make sure clean your edges of car over and over .

Try not to over heat the vinyl. Minimum heat and Minimum stretch would be best way to go. But it will take time to figure all that out.

You would never imagine how dirty your car is Until you clean it. doing Paint protection install requires a lot of cleaning and Its never good enough .
Attachment 69327
Cutting vinyl by door trims are very risky to touch the paint. Try to cut the vinyl on the trim. I can cut the vinyl on the paint with out touching the paint. That takes years of training. Over wrapped and tuck in is your best bet. Make sure use fresh blade every time

THanks!:) you are the man!
