Plain colors would be easier, but still challenging.
I'm finding this out. That is actually a black with silver metallic. It depends on the wrap too. The graphite I did the other day wasn't bad at al, 3M.
The black was from eBay and when pulling on it it ripped right at the beginning. It eas brittle and broke very easy.

live and learn.😀
