It's trickier than it looks - I wouldn't just jump into it by letting everyone have a go! Wrap is expensive.

Are there any professional videos online that demonstrate??

Edit: If the time suits, I'd be happy to come and help clean & prep. Not going to be responsible for turning your wrap into a sticky ball of mess though!

Definitely agree with Scotty on this one. I'd much rather pay $3k to get pros to do it than DIY and watch my wrap peel to $hit in a couple of month's time plus the added possibility of bubbling.

Having said that though, good luck to those who DIY.

I've wrapped my interiors and also a CBR1000RR with a friend so I'm guessing same principles apply just a lot bigger hahaha

Good luck on the wrapping guys

I did it couple years back, great fun!!
BUT!!! Try wrap you bonnet and interior first...before you regret the idea of wrapping it yourself...it takes great deal of time (yes...like days...even weeks for the whole car) for vinyl wrap beginners.

I am quite lucky that I have a friend from overseas who's good at this, it took me 2 weeks for the whole car+interior.

I suggest doing one door handle at a time - at least until you know you can get it back on / enter the vehicle.
