Or do you need to have uber skills? What else do you need for the job? Tools? Adhesives? How do you secure it around sharp bends? Like the edges of the hood? Thanks
Not sure how much you need as I've never actually done it myself, but I'm familiar with the procedure. It is possible to do it if you take your time and plan things out first. For tools you'd need a razor to cut the material, a flat plastic squeegee, and a heat gun. Probably a few other thing that could make it easier too, but I can't think of them. Adhesive is on the back of the wrap so you just lay it down and heat gun it. For corners just wrap it around and then botch out the corner of the material so that it's not all folded over on itself.
