> > Let’s say you want to go all Mad Max on your [BMW 330i](http://www.autoblog.com/model/3+series), but aren’t quite ready to give your shiny paint that Krylon finish. No worries. As user djaemac over on [E90 Post](http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=376442) found out, wrapping your car in vinyl isn’t as hard as the pros make it out to be. Over a week’s worth of evenings, the guy set about covering his entire car in matte black vinyl using nothing but some application fluid, a felt squeegee, a heat gun, an X-Acto knife and a heaping helping of patience. The results look just as good as any of the pro [wraps](http://www.autoblog.com/2009/12/06/video-thats-a-wrap-ferrari-f430-spider-gets-the-vinyl-treatme/) we’ve seen. > The best part is that djaemac managed to do the whole thing for a mere $120. Considering the thousands of dollars a shop will charge you for the same work, that’s not a bad deal. While we aren’t likely to go flat black on any of our personal cars, the writeup makes the thought of covering our front bumpers in clear protective [vinyl](http://www.autoblog.com/2010/04/05/video-teasing-the-crocodile-skin-covered-bentley-continental-gt/) all that more tempting. Hop over to [E90 Post](http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=376442) to see the full project for yourself.

That is not nearly as easy as this person makes it out to be. Anyone that is seriously considering a vinyl wrapped vehicle, go to 21 Graphics. Adam Uzzo is the best in the biz when it comes to vinyl wraps. ---

I was a little bummed after I read the title, saw the first pic and found it was only vinyl. I really wanted to find out that they used 120$ worth of Scotchbright, or 1500 grit wet sand or something. ---

That shit’s nice looking. I remember I posted a thread up here last year about the “satin” paintjobs. I think I’d still rather do it with paint than stickers, though. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/how-to-murder-out-your-ride-for-just-120-in-your-garage/251763.md?page=2)
