Got my car wrapped in 3M 1080 Satin Dark Grey
I've been wanting to do a full vehicle wrap since like two years ago, but never really got enough conviction on the available colors from 3M. I didn't like the matte colors as they didn't look as good as the 'frozen' paint from BMW. Things changed when I saw the satin series which looked much closer to the frozen look. The 3M 1080 Satin Dark Grey was just released late last year and when I saw this sample, my decision was made. This color makes my car looks like pure steel instead of paint.
Job was done by WrapBullys.com Los Angeles. Took five days. Props to George from WrapBullys for being a stand up guy. |

Question ... do they wrap it around the doors when the doors are open so that the door jams and all that area of the doors not visible when the doors are closed are also the same color as the wrap?
Just been curious myself ... have seen a mirror wrapped Maserati Driving Around Victoria BC How is it with stone chips and bugs from summer road trips? Looks

They do wrap it just over the edges of the doors and maybe 1-2cm into the door jams so you can't see the original color when everything is closed. I opted to not get the full door jams wrapped as I was told that bubbles are more prone to door jams.
I don't have enough experience with vinyl so I can't say about stone chips and bugs, but it's pretty durable. |

It is a very nice option to refresh a car!! It's looking very good! Do you have to update the car color with your Vehicle registration and insurance?

Looks amazing. Great choice on the color. Those wheels have to be some of the best oem wheels out there, and they really work well with the new color.

thank you
KW HAS rides almost like stock suspension and it feels great. I've never made any adjustments since I got it and I live in downtown LA where roads are horrible. |
