That looks amazing, totally spurred me on to get mine done now.
I was contemplating doing my wheels same colour as well.
Spot on for doing a road trip this time of year as well up here.
In truth if I had the time before taking it out the wheel colour would have changed, I want them silver and I have 911R style decals for the sides. Silver stripes with yellow PORSCHE writing, silver matching the wheels (when done) and yellow matching the calipers
In my head it looks good although it might be a shame to ruin how it currently looks.
Great work, looks fab! _________________ 2003 996 C2

Yeah, but I also needed milk.
Car looks ace. The new stripes and wheel colour change should top it off nicely.

I've put the wrap through the ringer over the last couple of days with snow, ice and salt battering the car and I do have a bit of lifting on the front wheel arch edges of the side skirt, I think previous stone chips have let the weather get behind it, so one more panel to re do but will require prepping and sealing a bit better. In general though I'm happy its mostly holding up so well.
I'm also surprised how just different light makes the colour change so much.

Colour looks fantastic and well done for having a go at that yourself! I’ve done decals on the motorbikes and once decided I was going to wrap some panels, three hours later they were getting painted!! Damn frustrating stuff

I was told it was the same as Acrylic Lacquer so have used that on most exposed edges but only once the vinyl was stuck down, I sealed the edges with it. I just think the surface was a little rough and hadn't sealed very well, no major problem as anything else I have to re-do won't take long.

Admittedly I've only ever used Primer 94 as an adhesion promoter with VHB tapes (ie: 3M 4611F), but it makes a huge difference to how well things stick.
Plus it smells divine...
