It's a Wrap!!

Okay, I wrapped my first piece. This is a small piece that connects the fender to the bumper and the "bellows" that you see on older Porsches. They say to start by wrapping large flat areas, so I started with a small piece with many curves and corners. That's just the way I roll.


 I lightly sanded the piece, cleaned it, and applied the cleaning/wrapping fluid. I then positioned the vinyl so that the "grain" was along the length of the car, and holding the piece, the vinyl, and a live heat gun, I started wrapping.  It looks pretty good. The edges and inside are messy, but they'll be hidden and held by the other pieces. In this picture, you can see both the color and the brushed effect.
