Ok, this is my daily internal debate
Pay 3k+ and be out of a truck for 2+ days, or order vinyl and do it myself?

diy kits seem helpful because they’re pre-cut, and probably going with tsportline vs tesbros

anyone who has done diy have tips for someone with little time or experience and no garage, but also don’t wanna give up truck for days?
Thanks!

I am not a detail type person. I would frame a house but not do crown molding. Anyway I paid $4500 for my polyurethane wrap. 10 warranty on chipping or pealing. Gloss red looks great.

I would start going down the YouTube tutorial rabbit hole until you feel comfortable. Also maybe order a few practice sections to get some feel for the material and tecnique required. The ore cut kits may come with a practice section or two. I’m also interested in DIY. My thought is that if someone else can do it, you can too. You can do anything if you put your mind to it. This is literally just putting big ass stickers on your truck so, it’s not super complicated, just a bit labor intensive.

I used Block a Chip in Mentor. I am currently in Ontario hunting. I will be home Tuesday night. We can meet up so you can see the job they did and we can talk about it. Ken
