Default I wrapped my car... EK hatch.

So my car needed a paint job really bad and I wanted to learn how to wrap a car, so I decided to wrap it with vinyl instead of paying for a paint job. I originally did the whole car in white, but unless you were right on top of the car you couldn't tell it was wrapped, so I redid the hood and roof like you see it in the pictures. I realize some people won't like this, but I did it so it would get peoples attention and cause them to ask questions. It's basically rolling advertisement. I'm gonna do the rear window in perf vinyl with my company name and phone number on it as well...

It's... interesting. I wouldn't rock it, but I wouldn't make fun of it as long as the pattern wasn't too... umm...

yeah. not bad. I wouldn't drive it, but then, I'm pushing 30. not bad.

I don't even know really. I know people are paying about 1300 bucks to have it done in flat black in other parts of the country, but that's the only real gauge I have right now. It did take a very long time though since I had never done one before. The bumpers were really hard due to some major compound curves.

I was gonna say, I bet the bumpers were hard. So how may rolls did it take to do the whole car?
