lol it sure has. I just took the flat grey off yesterday... Didn't stay on like the black did. Must be the wrong vinyl...

Guess nuggy was right.

Just messin with ya. This is the first I have seen this thread (killin time at work). Are you gonna try some different vinyl? I think the matte gray would look awesome.

And for the record, that toilet was wicked pissah!!! Pun totally intended.

JKid

lol good goins.

Yeah I plan to get some vinyl of higher quality. Currently saving for a wedding, so that'll be in awhile. Hopefully someone else goes along and does it. I saw a guy had wrapped his jeep in carbon fiber vinyl, which looked sweet, but not my taste.

If I do go big and wrap it, I'll be sure to post it here.

Bump, Not to necro this thread but did anyone ever vinyl wrap their car? What was the approximate cost?

I used to wrap vehicles for years, it's not as easy as it looks and is pricey. You need a thick enough vinyl that you can heat up to stretch and thin enough to work with. A thin vinyl will just tear and shrivel when heated. I do agree that it looks amazing when done, just Hell getting there.

I want to wrap mine matte black. Talked to a guy who does wrapping on cars and he told me that the Jeep would be hell to do because of all the details (hinges, etc) that might require removing and/or taking many things apart to do it right. He estimated a full day to do my JKU (not including hard top, of course). I asked for a quote but he ended-up not even quoting it.

I still did not give-up. Maybe one day may try to do myself. What a good quality brand of vinyl and specs to use?

I have worked in the sign industry for several years. After numerous cars, trucks, Buses, garbage trucks etc I can say the the jk overall would not be that difficult. The hardest part is when you have more than 1 contour at a time to work with.(Like the front corners) I wrapped a TJ about a year ago & aside from removing the fenders no body pieces had to be taken off. Took about 5 hours with 1 person helping for about an hour

I was looking at getting just my grille done in a matte black and was quoted around $230 by two different places. I just decided to order my own and try my hand a the project.
