I'm thinking matte dark grey. Think me and Danny are gonna have a crack at it, I did most of my roof, i'll leave the matt black roof on there and we'll do the rest! Mirrors are the only pain in the arse! |

Mirrors are a nightmare but again using the right amount of heat they are alright to do. thankgod my partner wanted to keep hers body colour to go with the roof ![]() hardest part i had was the front bumper, so much to heat in ![]() |

once you know how to work the vinyl your be fine doing it dry. with your doors just hold the vinyl up to the door but not touching and the squeegy the middle on and then work up while someone holds the vinyl tight from the top and then the same with the bottom front wings and rear quarters, tack on at the top and the heat the whole sheet of vinyl while someone holds the sheet tight, when the vinyl has heated and gone smooth pull ot over the whole wing and it should shape to the wing due to the heat making the vinyl like elastic then squeegy down. dont try and work any of it down it you have a ripple in the winyl as it will just turn into a nasty crease! Oh and remove anything that can be taken off, bumpers, lights, handles otherwise your get a horrid finish. We left the rear bumper on as it was a paint to remove but handles, front bumper, lights came off oh and door trim, i just tucked the vinyl under the rear quarter window rubber to get a good finish |
