I bought ORACAL 970RA-090 vinyl wrap for my front bumper, rear bumper and still deciding if I'm going to do the grille. It was a pain in the *** but it came out great.
Haven't done the rear yet, it's raining today, so maybe tomorrow. Definitely worth the $60 in materials.
duuuude, great job! I paid for mine being done and I watched him do it. Huge amount of patience to do that. No way I could do that watching him do it. Looks great, nice job!
It's definitely an exercise in patience. I suggest anyone doing this to start on the rear or grille first to understand how to work with the vinyl. That front bumper has a lot of weird angles.
I bought the oracal roll in magnetic gray (charcoal metallic glossy 937) this fall but haven’t had the sack to do it yet other than some paint match testing. that stuff is STIFF and doesn’t stretch as easily as I thought it would.
maybe this summer I’ll get further... you’ve given a little confidence.

You HAVE to use a heat gun, it's literally impossible without one. But you have to be careful because it gets really thin with a tiny amount of heat. Hit with the gun for 5 seconds and you can poke your finger right through it. Harbor freight has a $15 heat gun that works perfectly on the low setting.

I said in a post a couple up I bought it off a friend, but you can get it off Fellers.com for about $100.
Downside is I hear it’s fairly expensive. I will only have as close to a perfect match for white platinum. Options are to wrap the chrome with this, or buy a new (used) bumpers in white platinum. Anybody got a white platinum front bumper for sale?
Otherwise the homegrown wrap job looks great. Very nice work.

I used colorX in blue jeans metallic for my rear bumper. Its a good product and the color match is awesome. As tricon said, vinyl is an easy medium to work with as long as you have a heat gun, just dont over heat it.
