    Default Vinyl Wrap - Anyone done the whole exterior?

    Given the number of rock chips and scrapes my DD G8 has seen over the years I am thinking of attempting a vinyl wrap (using 3M's 1080 Scotchprint Wrap most likely) to freshen up the look of the car. I'm struggling to determine how much wrap to purchase though. I see lots of folks using it to add accents, carbon fiber wrap the hood, or black out trim, but has anyone wrapped the whole car? What sized roll should I be looking at? I am thinking 5' x 60' but don't want to end up with too much or too little. Thoughts?

    PD is cheaper and easier to repair. Vinyl is really cool, but it shows imperfections in the paint pretty clearly.

    That does look great, Adam! Exactly what I was thinking!

    Cstmg8, I like the high gloss you can get with Vinyl. Seems like PD I mostly matte? Definitely like the ease of PD more than Vinyl, just scared I won't like the results as much.
