Rarely post, but wanted to share....

Hello everyone! I don't get on this forum very often, but I thought some of you guys might like to see this. I spent the last 2 weeks vinyl wrapping my RDX (in my spare time).

First time I have ever done a wrap, but it came out really nice. Took close around 35-40 hrs to complete.
Original color was Carbon Grey Pearl. New color is 3M Matte Blue Metallic.

Great color. I'm a blue school fan.

Did you consider wrapping the mirrors too?

Great job on the wrap job!!!

however; the metallic blue is a little bit too "metallic" for me

Question, why wrap as opposed to dipping? and those wheels need to be next in your mods, black paint would be my choice to complete the theme

Huge waste of time, you had the best color and you change it for nothing.

How good is the wrap with normal wash/wax and road debris? How long do you think it will last with normal care?

Living in NM, the lower half of vehicles take a severe beating with sand and road debris. Most cars have front ends that look like Edward James Olmos's face after a few years. Wrapping the lower half in the factory paint color sounds like an interesting ideal to me.
