What to do during HURRICANE Irene

Well just happened that my matte black vinyl came in to do my blacking out this morning. Been raining all day waiting for the winds to kick up figured might as well get busy wrapping whatever I can. I used Oracal 970RA Matte Black. Really nice material to work with. Got the grill, headlights, beltline and gas cap done. Gas cap is a bugger but it came out nice. Let me know what you all think.

Good job! Now get those door handles black too :p How much did the vinyl cost you? I still need to get the beltline and headlight ring blacked out to be done with removing the chrome!

Good luck on the door handles. That was hardest thing to wrap i thought. Just ended up plasti dipping them. Much easier. But looks awesome man! Nice job on the wrap.

That looks great. Is there a How To on here that you used? And where did you get the vinyl?

i looked it up on ebay. There is a place that sells whatever size and color you need. Call them for best pricing. Great stuff to work with. You will need a propane torch or good heat gun to do the tricky stuff. Just keep stretching it!!!!!! The stuff is amazing.
