Vinyl wraps?

[dragonteeth]

I've been researching into possibly changing my CX-5's exterior color and was wondering if anyone on the forum has utilized vinyl wrap as opposed to traditional painting? If so, which company / website did you use?

3M makes some great vinyl just like everything they make. It's called 1080 series or something like that. I have been advised by a friend who vinyl wraps for a living to stay away from the gloss because those get scratched up easily and it's very noticeable. Get either satin or matte.

I'm looking to wrap the roof of my cx5 satin black but I'm trying to find a service manual for the 2015 cx5 so I can try and take the roof antenna off the right way without ruining anything.

Another option for you is plastidip if you want to temporarily change the color your ride.
