I went to a wrapping guy and looked at the material.. satin looked more durable, but the negative is that it looks closer to black, soooooo whats the point in wrapping. Lol

You should be. And guess what. If it gets messed up. You can do it yourself again for a quarter of the price someone would have charged you.

Any tips? I have a heat gun already, is the felt squeegee necessary?

I assume the clay bar is necessary for my hood as well.

I got quoted 280 for just the hood wrap, I feel like I could try and mess it up three or four times for the same price hah

You tube vids....

Watch "unique rides" on velocity.....they wrap a lot of rides......

Do it inside the garage with a helper, if the wind hits this piece at the wrong time, then the whole thing is garbage, don't ask me how I know.......

It is! I have the avery satin black on my hood and it makes it really pop! Definitely better quality and easier to lay than 3m too.
