My wife hates the smell of paint and solvents, sooo, this may be a way to get my truck protection against the elements
It took me at least 30+ hours in doing the chevelle on the first page of this thread....to learn the limitations of the material...the cheaper black vinyl I used on it was not very forgiving,unlike this 3M I used on the blazer that was a ton better to use....

Here is where I bought my vinyl from...

Certain things it is very well suited for...as an example this is the taillight panel on my friends 67 camaro I did....took less than an hour and $6-8 in semi-gloss 3m vinyl....





I have a yellow 67 camaro too that is a big block that I will be doing the same thing since his turned out so well!
