    Done with the front of my 2014 Mirage

    I bought my DS with CVT on 4-14-14 and have been working on it on and off, well today it's a "Wrap" for the hood area anyway.
    Used matte wrap and a single pinstripe.


    Day one, how I bought it.



    After shots....








    Up next I'll do a little something to the back of the car , have an idea but I seem to change my mind as I go along. Lol

    Great looking modification.

    Really improved the look of the vehicle - much more aggressive.

    Was the wrap hard to work with?

    Nice wrap job! I like the contrast it adds.

    Thanks and no the wrap was very easy to work with ,keep in mind I was working on flat servive.

    I tried doing the mirrors and was so close to it being perfect but my pieces I had left just wasn't large enough, may just "Dip" them.

    Started on the back



    Tomorrow I may wrap the wing then apply a coat of Collinite 845 to the paint, then seal all of the wrap using Wolfgang Trim Sealant, then and only then will I be really happy

    I'm planning on getting a red Mirage and Plasti-Dipping a white paint stripe down the middle off-center a bit. Gonna look cool!

    Any concern about the paint fading around the stripe over time?

    Not at all, I'm a detailer and keep it well polished and sealed with the best sealants one can buy.
    Nowif one doesn't maintain it there could be a problem with fading but can easier be buffed out back to a high shine.
