So things are going well with restarting my 75 1.8. Thinking about the body and was thinking a wrap might be much more fun than painting the original color. Thinking Gulf Blue with racing badging or you get the idea.
What are your thoughts? Cheers James |

Lots and lots of YouTube videos on how to wrap. Buy the top of the lube vinyl. It’s easier to diy than the cheap stuff.

I had considered a wrap, something close to Palma Green, but decided to spray. I haven't painted in many years and are looking to get some orange peel with a single stage. Being somewhat difficult to DIY and short lived, you can get some cool effects with a wrap

A really good auto detail guy I met in St. Pete was bemoaning an "un-wrap" job he reluctantly agreed to do on a company truck that had been installed a few years ago. Granted it was out in the FL sun and likely not garaged, but he said it was an absolute nightmare to remove.
