    i think for first time that actually looks really good its good to have you back again ps i managed to get my e46 m3 on display at a museum for a week which i was shocked how much interest it got also it passed its mot today so good for another year but ive only covered 200 miles in that year 😅

      No way! That's awesome!!! A Phoenix Yellow E46 M3 is next level!!!! Cool experience and glad you're driving it!!!! It is good to be back, but the heat is oppressive! I don't film as much during summer because it is so hot, but I am hopeful that I have timed this project so that I am finished in the next few months so that I can drive when it's cooler. I just posted a quick short showing the paint removal process, yuck, but also oddly fun!! Thanks for watching and thanks for the kind words. It really helped having Isaac's help. I am confident he will help wrap the car in its new color.

    you should remove that protective "clear" before glassing the wrap

    That looks good at the end! I didn't know you could retry glassing it so many times before squeegeeing it down?!

      Thank you!! I think as long as the surface is prepped well, wipe down paint or in this case, remove all paint, it seems easy to move the vinyl around multiple times. We were surprised by how sticky the glue was. I’ll be removing the wrap soon to re-prep the trunk for the new color and I’ll be curious what it will be like to remove the wrap. Thanks for watching!! Stay tuned as I’ll be wrapping the entire car after it’s fully sanded down.

    The lines you see are glue lines, where you laid the vinyl, then pulled it up. I'm no expert AT ALL, so I don't know how to avoid it other than not lifting the film once it's down.... Nice job though!

      Hey! I told my friend, Isaac, who helped me! We both were like, ah, that makes sense! Thanks for the info!!!!!
