I ran out of enough silver to do the vertical handles so they got finished in black.  Funny thing is that I really didn't have enough black so I had to use my last small piece I had and make it work.  That meant cutting it at a weird angle which is why the pattern is almost horizontal rather than diagonal.  Whatever.  It works. 

Notice the thin black line dividing the silver?  Oddly enough that's a recessed line that wasn't intended to be black.  While massaging the vinyl down in to the groove I tore it.  So I cut it out and loved it. 


This is the back door.  You can see the piece has less vinyl than the front door pieces.  Remember how I ran out?  Yeah...


Here you can see the stock silver vs the vinyl.

That looks really nice Mike! That would be great to get rid of all the wood-grain on the PSD.

Where did you end up sourcing the wrap from? Now you have me thinking about doing some interior pieces in the Edge and Truck.... :dope:

The first order i went through Amazon which used MetroRestyling as a seller anyway.  I wasn't happy with the processing time since it added an extra day or two that I felt was unnecessary.  I'm judging that based on how long it took me to get shipment confirmation.  The second time I ordered directly through Metro's website.  As I thought it went faster and I received confirmation much sooner. 

I used 3M 1080 Vinyl.  Supposedly some of the better stuff out there.  So I can't speak on some of the other brands sold at Metro.

Thanks, I will look into. I would really like to cover up the light grey trim in the Edge with the black CF vinyl
