the shop I went to had a ton of colors, I think it was all 3m stuff. I think you would have to go and match a sample to your paint and see if there is a match.

so I have a question, for the edges in the opening and the edges of the bumper itself did you just trim it off at the edge? or does it wrap under the bumper/opening edges?

You trim it off at the edge, if you wrap it around it will eventually unwrap itself.

Still pissing down rain, but I got one for ya. You just cut it off exactly level with the opening, its really easy with a quality blade.

Great job. I want to wrap my bumpers, two grill bars and mirror caps. I also want the windows tinted to match the rears. I’m thinking about starting with the grill then rear bumpers then caps and once I master the front bumper I’d be warmed up enough to do the window tint?

how did you remove just the chrome pieces on rear bumper? I'm picking up my wrap on friday and think this along with mirror caps might be a good place to start for me since I live in canada and these are small enough to bring in house and work on at proper temperature.

Also, would you guys suggest going to a hobby store and buying a special blade?

Totally worth it.

For the blade, if you want the best xacto knife Ive ever used, get one of these. Its so sharp I started shaving metal off my bumper haha.

For those that are new to vinyl wraps, be careful if you ever pressure wash your truck. Depending on the tip, you could rip the vinyl.
