They also do inside the doors so when you open it you only see the blue not the original red. However, i didn't know that at the time so only the outside is done. I haven't really decided what I'm going to do all my friends think it looks really nice with the rally red when u open the doors but i haven't decided. The inside of the doors is another $1000! because it is labour intensive.

The place I went to had every possible colour you could imagine! matte, glossy, chrome, cf, an even brushed steel (very popular for Bentley & Rolls Royce) However, I dont live in the states but im assuming they would have similar colour options.

From what I have been told you can treat it exactly like normal car paint. However, I think waxing would take away from the matte look. Clay bar is also fine to use. In regards to how it feels that is a tough one! it almost has a 'rough' look to it but when you touch it its smooth. It really is difficult to explain!

Good luck buddy! If its any help from what I've seen they use little magnet's to hold it onto the body while they work on other places and flatten it. My friend actually works in the garage so if u need any help or have questions I can do my best to find out for you.

hahaha Thanks bud , to be honest it wasn't that bad actually. With the window tints and getting the wheels painted I paid around $1500. Considering it has 5 years warranty and protects the original paint completely (rocks, chips, etc) I think its well worth the money!

i got it from metrorestyling (dot) com. i did a lot of research and got the top of the line 3m vinyl its 3m 1080 scotchprint vinyl 60in x 50ft was around 650. thats enough to wrap a 7 series BMW lol since i am doing the install i figured i would need extra if i Eff up!

OP- you got a really good deal for the vinyl, tint, and wheel paint. if i could find a shop around here to do it for that price i will def have them do it.
