Cool Figured it was time to freshen up my work truck (PICS)

Did a full matte anthracite wrap, going to leave the roof black, I like the two-tone look like the old NSX's

yeah def a bit easier for us
to be honest though, even with 10+ years of clear bra and other specialty film experience it still took both of us about 3 days to get this done. The devil really is in the details when it comes to getting this film down right and looking good. The biggest pieces you would think take the most time like the hood and fenders are actually the easiest. Things like wrapping all the edges, wrapping into the tail lights, pulling all the emblems and trim, taking apart door panels to pull out the side mirrors, pulling out all the lights and markers, and making sure not to leave any wrinkles or stretch marks, these are the things that really take up the majority of the hours and redos on an install like this. Hell this one pic where you see us make one flat piece of vinyl lay flat around these compound curves and wrap all the edges took about a half a day to get right! It really is just a lot of time and attention to detail.

You killed it on the wrap Jeremy. That extra attention to detail puts it over the top and I bet a lot of people are going to have a hard time figuring out if its paint or vinyl. Great job!
