Got my Badlands 4 Door Wrapped In 3M Matte Military Green

[ryannshit]

Some Q&A

Nice. Did you by any chance wrap the rear hinges?

Unfortunately no, they said it would likely come off. Plasti dipped the buckin' bronco to somewhat match.

But they did wrap the roll bars etc inside so it matches with the roof off.

How much to wrap it? Some guys say you have to wash with deionized water, lol.

Oh wow, no I didn't hear that advice from the wrap shop workers.

I paid $4400 for the wrap and they included the front window tints in the price. After seeing the work they did and attention to detail they went through, I think that it was totally fair. They basically disassemble the entire body of the vehicle.

To clean it, they suggested Adam's Polishes products: Car Shampoo and Matte Detailer

How long did the install take? Looks fantastic!

Thank you! It took 10 days total with a weekend in-between so I'd say ~7 workdays. That will depend on the shop I'm sure and how many workers they have.

The shop I went to was pretty busy. I got the bronco in early November and had to wait til December for them to start working on it.

But you just gave me some motivation to maybe do that sometime tomorrow.

Love to see pics after you wheel that matt finish and try and clean it. Guy with exotics pull over if a bird shits on it "If it sets and dries you will never get the stain out". Their words after 6 months of ownership. You have all the valleys vs a mirror for a gloss finish. Dirt gets in the valleys and very hard to remove. If wheeled it is not going to looks to pretty fast. Every matt wrap I have seen with over a year of use looks great if your 25 ft away- up close they like crap and something I cannot live with. Would drive me crazy. Unless technology has changed or you can ceramic coat it I am skeptical. It does look fantastic in matt in that color. Keep us posted on how well it holds up.

So far from lighter trails the dirt and dried mud has come off pretty easy with just a water pressure wash at the do-it-yourself carwash while using a microfiber sponge to wipe the dirt away. I drive it home and use micro fiber towels to dry. Haven't even bought the wrap cleaner suggested, so far.i Will see how it goes.

I didn't love any of the color options available when I ordered so opted for shadow black which looks great clean but was worried about the scratches on black from branches/rocks. The eruption green looks nice but not the green I was hoping for.

I am worried about how scratches will look on it but as long as it's on the wrap I am gonna try not to worry about it too much.

Waiting for my on board air compressor mount to arrive this week then plan to do some snow wheelin' in it asap.
