Applying 3m carbon wrap
Thinking of wrapping my bonnet (till I get some cash to paint and blend the front end) has anyone done this ???, is it difficult to do ??, any experience in this would be appreciated.

its just like applying a decal or stocker. but on a much larger scale.
make sure you do small sections at a time, pushing all the air out. apply plenty of water or whatever the green fluid stuff is (name eludes me currently). the more hands you can get to help the better. |

Tints, decals, wraps, pretty sure they all use fluid when applied (if done properly). Gives you a chance when you make a mistake

Water and a little dishwashing detergent.
Takes longer to dry, but much easier to apply. And don't do it in full sun.

I wrapped my bonnet and roof, best tip I can give you is PATIENCE. I have little of it, which is why my cousin was helping me through it lol.
Best bet is to use a heat gun/blow dryer too, especially around curves. |
