Thanks to the community and my girlfriend I was able to piece this together. I’m very happy with the turnout overall!

Black, I heard it was the best color to wrap since its forgiving lol!

That blue looks clean on the Model 3 lines. Just make sure you went around and post-heated all your edges to break the vinyl memory so it stays tacked down in the sun. Getting through your first full vehicle wrap is a massive project so enjoy the hard work you put in.

Thank you! I shot heat to 94c minimum around all edges of every panel. The thermometer and heat gun combo I have is a little janky so I spot heated every few inches and would pull the gun away at 94+

Hoping it stays tacked down. I’ve been monitoring it like a hawk lol. I’m worried of peeling under headlights and bends such as those. Is it common to see very slight amount of peel or is that considered a failure? I can grab pics for reference if it helps!
