Default Wrapping the Waterfall Console and door trims

Anyone done it? Any tips? I'm thinking of carbon wrapping the waterfall console and door trims as I fancy something different.

Did them with moose leather before. Rather easy but time consuming.

One things for sure. No matter how bad something may be, it will have been much much worse and with lots more drama for the spammer

I tried the console with 3M Di-Noc and I nearly completed it but, trying to get all the air bubbles out was a nightmare.

Use a proper applicator tool and a hair-dryer.

Better to apply to the burlwood covers as they're tougher generally and will not allow your vinyl to become dented so easily.

The 3M is good.
I prefer to use Hexis, much better air release IMHO and it moulds into shape really nicely
