Procrastination delayed -- Interior wrap
Well, after about a month of procrastinating with my vinyl wrapping, my disgusting wood trim is gone. Hello brushed aluminum, you are more than welcome
Cell phone pictures in bad lighting, but you can get an idea of the improvement

where did you get the vinyl from and how much did you need?
i saw metrorestylin has 3m 1080 scotchprint in brushed steel i was thinking of trying out but want to make sure the pattern goes the long way on the 1ft x 5ft section, not vertical.

I purchased a 48x48 sheet from metrorestyling and was able to complete the whole interior - 4drs, center console (2pcs), shift console, shift knob, steering wheel, rear console, and still had a little left over. I used cf pattern, so I had to be careful to match the pattern. You shouldn't have any problems w/having enough material using the brushed look, since you don't have to worry about lining it up.

http://www.metrorestyling.com/3M-Sco...1080-br120.htm I originally bought a small piece off amazon to make sure I liked it. I think I ended up going 3x5 or 4x5. Just email them making sure that you want the grains running horizontally; that's what I did and it came out perfect Thank you!

Since I have an E92 do you think the 60x36 (15 sq/ft) will be enough? |

Depending on which way the pattern goes, measure the parts as if they were all laid out on the sheet together. Make sure 60in is either wide or long enough to cover them and that 36in will cover them whichever way the 60 doesn't (hope that didn't confuse you). Also, be sure to add in another inch or two, per part, to cover wrapping over the edges. You can never have too much, but it's not good to have not enough (material).

How close is this to the OEM brushed aluminum trim?
Hard to tell from the pix...

As for what to use to fill in the scratches/dents......there are several easy-to-use fillers out. Regardless of what you need to do to "fix" the trim, I'd suggest doing that up front so you won't be kicking yourself later when you've put in all that time wrapping and then have to see the imperfections through it (just my $.02 - I'm anal like that).
