Ha!

Well neither here or there. Just trying to say don't skimp on wrap vinyl as you will be doing the job twice. Oh actually maybe three times, or probably more like four times...

While the vinyl plays a part, someone who's decent at wrapping could wrap with the ****test stuff and still make it look good. More expensive wrap just makes the job easier...and arguably lasts longer.

And yes, any more than four times and Candyman comes to getcha.

Yes because after this you give up, sit on the floor, cry and flail your arms around like a stroppy 3 year old!

Buy air free stuff from 3m or Avery, otherwise you'll be ripping it off over and over.

And no, it's not easy...at all. It's really complex sometimes and every job is a hair pulling experiment in heart attack inducing stress. Literally.

Haha totally agree, even the small flat parts that look easy enough pose a challenge but all I can say is slowly but surely is working for me at the min, I've made a couple of boo boo's up to now but luckily they are where you can't see so got away with it!
