A thought that snowballed into a DYI wrap job
My recount of the past 2 weeks when I found some left over vinyl and though "I wonder what the coupe would look like wrapped in this";
So now I wait till Sept 11. Haven't driven for 3 weeks so was itching to get out and snapped some pics. First photo is the original car colour Silver Grey and the rest are Avery Gloss Metallic Grey wrap.

Love it! We should start the full wrap club!
Btw keep an eye out for the corners. I have Avery on mine as well and noticed the corners peel back after few days. |

Thanks guys!
We totally should start a WRAP picture thread and maybe a DYI as well. There are some things that I'd do differently that's for sure. Total for this job is $675 CAD so around $500 USD, it could have been less though if I actually measured out how much vinyl I'd actually need initially and not did it 3 orders. I think I'll have 3 yards left so could of possibly saved around $100 CAD. I'm about 40hrs in and still have a little left to do.

This looks awesome! While I loved the original Silver Grey, this shade gives it a completely different personality, almost sinister looking.
Question is, now that it's (more or less) done and you know the work that it takes, would you do it again? Or would you pay somebody to do it for you? Based on the pictures I think you did an awesome job. I'm considering doing a gloss black roof for my M3, this is making me think I should try to tackle it myself.

But seriously - looks awesome! And now you are an Internet Wrap star!

I tried the roof myself before and failed and almost did this time too. The coupe roof I found extremely difficult to do by myself, would have been way easier with 2 people. But I think the M3 roof is pretty flat so I think it be much easier, the only thing is it's pretty big so if you screw up you lost a lot of material probably as much as the labor if you got it done.

Dumb question - how durable is this stuff? Do you wash the car more or less in a normal fashion once this is applied? No issue driving on a windy rainy day?
And if you decide to remove it next year, do you just peel it all off?

wow that's quite an undertaking.... very impressed that you worked it through.
I tried doing my roof in gloss black (b4 carbon) and it was a terrible fail .. Colour looks great on the car

Stellar job man! When I first saw a pic on IG I had assumed it was camera settings/lighting making it darker. Impressive you took on the challenge and wrapped the whole thing yourself!
