Looking forward to seeing this progress, i'm sure it'll be good when done and as you do it it'll all fall into place as to how it will end up.

White carbon fibre look wrap will look messy & dirty real quick,
I asked Dazza about this as an option when looking to do the motorbike
in his experience with wrap that is what he said.
so if you do wrap in white I would suggest just plain instead of the carbon.
Maybe ask Dazza first and see if he has advice or can supply you with what you need.

Because its a proper pita, expensive and time consuming. I've done plenty of work vans, coaches, cars ect but never a full wrap. Plasti dip is the way forward.

would plastidip be durable enough with stonechips to the front then jetwash to clean it? wouldn#t this lift the plastidip (which is usually not keyed to the paint) like it does the naff paint some smart repairers use (which is keyed to the paint)

Yes , Its all down to the amount of layers you put on.

There's a couple of videos about this on youtube , guy using a air compressor to fly stones into the bumper.. No damage what so ever ..
