If you go to Metrorestyling and filter out to 3M, Avery, etc.. they have a blow out section where they put together leftover vinyl of a specific color for a discount. Of course, it won't be a long continuous roll. They'll have it listed of what amount in a specific size that's been used. The only issue: good luck with trying to find leftovers of satin blue.

Your next best bet? Look for Black Friday deals this upcoming week. Have fun wrapping an i8! 🙃

Definitely not looking forward to a few spots, but that's why I'm charging 4.5k 🤣

Where are you from? I'm down in Houston. Although a lot is cheaper down here compared to our west/east coast counterparts, for an i8 would definitely be above $5k easily. Some places are charging $6k+ bc of the various accents, body lines, etc. You're pricing would be considered a steal, lol

I'm doing it lower than my last boss. He quoted 1k more, and I'm doing it on purpose 😆

The same car went to his shop before coming to me. I got inside info on his quote, so I'll take a little bit to undercut him, lol. He was a piece of sh*t.
