Vinyl Wrap 1st attempt

This is my first attempt at vinyl wrap.

I cleaned the grille with soap, water, and a scotchpad.

I think it turned out 'ok' but there are some small bumps and bubbles. I figured, If I screwed up, This is the smallest amount of material that I'll be using so it won't be as costly to re-do.

What are your thoughts? kinda reminds me of primer but I hope it will have different tones.

I used 3m Scotchprint Vinyl Wrap.

I'm still learning and once I get my car back from the shop, I'll post more on working with the material, and wrapping the rest of my car.

I think it's a very distinct colour and look. My car is in 3 colours right now. Carbon Fiber. Matte Black Rustoleum, and the original chassis colour of Green.

I needed something to unify the car, as it was too inconsistent.
