After getting bored of driving a silver car, I decided to make it the color I always wanted it to be. Project 'Wrapped Up' ensued.
Backstory:
I was starting to get bored with the car and having thoughts of selling it and buying a newer M3, after a bit of a search for the car I wanted with the options and color I wanted, I found that there weren't too many out there and the ones in the price range I was looking for weren't up to my standards. There really isn't anything wrong with my current car, the only thing I wasn't happy with was the color. I wasn't interested in doing a color change because a quality paint job would cost more than 50% of what the car is worth, in other words several thousands of dollars. Then one day I started looking into vinyl and the materials and what it would cost. After finding a supplier through work, I decided to give it a try and experiment with it. I ordered one roll of their 'Glossy Red' as they call it. 60'' x 30 yards should be more than enough. Worst case it would be a major fail and I'm out a couple hundred bucks. Best case, it holds me over for another year to consider options and save some cash.
Lets start off with a before picture of the car:
