Not permanent vinyl? Low life expectancy then? Looks good though, like the matt orange look x

Love the skill 
Not sure on the result, i think we established that matt anything was usually a bad idea and so far i'm sticking with that though. Will reserve judgement until see high res pic

It's a great colour and looks different in all sorts of light. In the glaring sun it looks quite mustard like a darker liquid yellow, in lower light it almost looks fluorecent. I really like it and am glad of the change.
A few close ups of hard to do bits.
Grills are a little bit scruffy and I'll be spending a bit more time on them before i'm happy.

It looks good untill it's massively stretched with heat. No discolouration but it goes a bit shiny. Not something you can catch on camera easily though so I can't really show you.
How long did it take you to do?
It's a bit like painting a car, to get the best job you need to remove parts to wrap under them (mirrors, door handles, lights, aeriel, spolier, ears etc etc) With the removal and refitting work it took me about 35 hours.

very nice.
did it need much (more than the 3M stuff) encouragement to go round the complicated parts?

About the same, maybe even a little easier.
