Wrapping a body kit
 
Can I wrap a unpainted body kit? or does it need to be painted and primed first?

Thanks in advance

Wrap with what?

i was thinking a nice matte blue or some other off color matted just starting to plan for it. other then black no-one seams to vinyl wrap other then clear

Where in Jersey are you carbon?

Matte colors are harder to come by and cost much more than colors like matte white, matte grey, and matte black. there are several ways to go about it too. I am not in jersey but if your looking for a matte blue I can definitely price out the needed materials to get your job done with some spare material for "just in case"

CF Element wrapped his car in real CF Fiber! :tup: he did a great job too!!!

yea ive only begun my research... my idea was to wrap the car first and then when im ready for a body kit, Ill hopefully simply just wrap the new bumper's and side skirts so i'd order enough to have some lying around

mmmm real CF....

I would at least spray a basecoat or something on it... that way the vinyl has a nice smooth surface to adhere to. Wrapping raw FRP might not come out looking so hot.
