It looks great!

After spending time talking to a local shop about putting a clear film on the front of my 356, and subsequently deciding it wasn't worth the risk to the paint, I wonder about any custom-cut job. Those knives come perilously close to the paint, all day long.

The kit-cut, or template-based film jobs are inherently safer. Hence the question.

I'm currently DIY wrapping my '84 944. My 997TT Midnight Blue Metallic is too pretty to wrap.

My friend is a 3M commercial graphics rep. He got me a couple rolls and all the tools for free. He's very knowledgeable about the film and adhesive properties and is somewhat knowledgeable about wrapping techniques. I've learned a few key pieces of DIY advice from him that I'd like to share:

1. You may want to wrap in a similar shade of color. If you wrap red on black, any cuts, rock chips, etc... will show the black underneath and stick out like a sore thumb.
2. If the car has paint imperfections and lots of rock chips, chose a sheen other than gloss. Satin or matte is less likely to show imperfections.
3. Wrapping is an art. Unless you have a lot of time and money to waste learning the art of wrapping, have a professional do it.
4. It will save you at least half the time if you have help.
