Looks like the brushed finish on a DeLorean, this color is 3M "brushed black Metallic", but looks like gunmetal. When i drove up today, there was a crowd of spectators watching him wrap and wanting to get in line to get their trucks done.

I am not sure, this shop does all of my work and since this is his first vehicle, told him let me know how much when he is finished. Basically, he is always fair on his prices and knows that I prefer quality over saving a few $$$. So considering that there may be some material waste, but fewer seams, etc., I didn't require a quote.

I know a guy that owns a shop that viynl wraps by me. this would easily be 4-5k job. I was looking at having my 2010 genesis coupe done that exact color and it was around 1500 for material if I remember correctly. the wrap looks awesome on the X keep the photos coming

Like greg807 said, it looks like a brushed Delorean, but much easier to clean. It was impossible keeping fingerprints off my Delorean, but these wraps are real easy to clean and look great. I am a fan of vinyl wraps, and they protect the paint finish too.

I forgot, be careful when you are refueling. We did a wrap on a friends 7.3. He was always letting the diesel spill over a bit when refueling. The lift started bubbling and wrinkling below the fuel door. You should have a rag handy to wipe it off immediately, just in case.

I use the Avery because of the longer life estimate. I have been told that the 3M is easier to apply, but I really like the Avery. Now, I have never done a complete vehicle wrap. My skill level is not there yet, but I am working up to it. The vinyl wrap does not have to be an entire vehicle as it works really good for 2-tones and designs. I did my Excursion with Avery and it was under $100. Notice I kept the Vinyl above the fuel door spill zone so I don't have to worry about that.
