Wow.. I didnt think I would get so many replies so fast! The car is originally silver. The car was washed (you cannot wax the car before or the vinyl will not rest), panels were then cleaned with alcohol and most of the edges were pre-treated with an adhesive accelerator to keep the vinyl edges down on some of the really deep areas for a long period of time... The vinyl was heated with propane and practically melts into place.
The vinyl on the entire car is seamless (except the wing) The installer who did mine is one of the best in the country so its a top-notch job, I have shown it to some people in town who have experience with this kind of thing and it fooled a couple of them to think it is paint.
The 1080 3M material is the best money can buy and the vinyl alone goes for around $4/sq ft. Total cost for this type of thing would typically run anywhere from $3000-$3700 with materials, tools and labor.. Wraps can be done cheaper but its all about the installer (skill, speed, etc) on the price. The wrap is warrantied for 3 years/36,000 miles but will last much longer than that...
