Vinyl wrap

[20Vmax20]

Has anyone used vinyl wrap on their fenders and top cover? Specifically, the matte finish of the 2020 model. I’m curious if the matte paint causes any issues with removal down the road. I’d like to wrap my fenders and top cover to both protect them and change the color. Anybody have experience with this?

I wouldn't think a quality vinyl wrap would hurt a matte finish...they wrap matte cars all the time and I've got XPEL Stealth PPF on my matte black Ducatis and I cannot imagine I'd have any issues if I ever had to remove the film, it would just take some heat and careful removal.

Might want to call a local PPF/wrap installer and ask them.

Thanks, I figured that a factory paint would be ok, but I didn’t want to mess anything up. I’ll look into the expel.

I tried vinyl wrapping but gave up because it wouldn't stretch round the tank even when using a hair dryer. It might be that I was trying to use the wrong stuff. I will take the parts off and let the professionals do it next time.

Wrapping is definitely an acquired skill and I've gone through more PPF in learning than if I had paid someone to do it for me but I now have a reasonable grasp of it.

Vinyl should be moderately easier as it's thinner than PPF and a little easier to work with but it's still an 'art'.
