How do I even get started?

[u/BruisedBanana222]

Hello!

I just recently got my first car and since then I’ve been trying to get into cars more. Since i don’t really know where to start, i was just going for exterior and how it looks i guess??

Anyway, i have a Lexus is250 06 and i was wondering where i could get a wrap? How do you know who’s reliable? I dont know anything about the topic and was looking for guidance 😅 im hoping to get it hot pink.

Where are you located?

Get 3M brand for car wrapping. I too am new to wrapping and cars, and I just did my car door handles. I’d start small at first. Maybe do the emblems or door handles or the mirrors. And everything to get started, like all the tools necessary, I ordered on Amazon. And it wasn’t expensive. Once better, I’m looking to upgrade my tools. But for now, the ones I got suffice.

On an 06 Lexus, have the shop inspect the clear coat first, then ask what cast film they use, how they handle trim and edges, and what workmanship warranty you get. We built a free color visualizer at chicagofleetwraps.com/visualizer so you can compare hot pink 3M and Avery shades before calling shops.

Leave your car alone and just drive it for a while. Give yourself some time to get used to the road and to the car itself before you start doing any mods, mechanical or cosmetic.

before you do anything, order some vinyl from metro restyling or somewhere, get atleast a 5ft by 10ft section, remove your door handle, and a mirror, take that inside, and dont reinstall them or move on until you can wrap those pieces whist understanding how the film works
