You now are the forum's official (w)Rapper.

JayBaRap.

That. Looks. Awesome.

Even more so than the green.

You really should start wrapping 986s.

I'd have you wrap my 986 orange in a nanosecond. Mmm hmmm.

LOL not sure about that but Thanks. What surprising is that it's really not that hard. I made several dumb mistakes on the green because its easy to get overconfident and hurry. It's going to take awhile this time but it's going to be a better job.

Love the gloss black roof. One of the more modern styling touches that I like.

That color is looking totally rich and it’s gonna be interesting to see how the black accents accentuate your hand. This color and the Avery Sunflower Yellow are on my short list of potential shapeshifting mods... I’ll appreciate all of your real world feedback and am totally not bored by any of this. Unfortunately, I have a crap clear coat dilemma to negotiate first, myself.

Bold colors for the win!

You'll need to sand it down and prime it you want to wrap it. Whatever you do dont buy Cheata wrap. It is touted as a great beginners wrap but it is awful. It's a little cheaper but I bought a roll and threw it away. Avery Denison is easy to work with.

I ordered a whole roll of Avery Denison gloss orange from Metrorestyling.com

Heres a link but they are sold out. 🙄

https://metrorestyling.com/collections/avery-dennison-gloss-vinyl-wrap/products/avery-gloss-orange-vinyl-wrap-sw900-373-o?variant=37362059182249

Heres another option that I've used too. Easy to use like Avery but less money and I think they have it in stock.

https://www.cheetahwrap.com/60-gloss-orange/

This is also good. A little trickier to install but the gloss is better.

https://teckwrap.com/collections/wraps/products/high-gloss-with-top-coating?variant=39286729834607

Just dont use Vivid or anything on Ebay from China. Alot harder to install and can hurt your paint.
Hope this helps.

Probably, I'm not really keeping track this time. I seem to rush when I time myself.

LOL...I didn't even notice those 987 intakes. So I would keep them, if they blend in naturally...and they did. That black-orange contrast did the trick. Well done, Sir!
