Not my color of choice, but it looks like you did a great job! I'm debating on doing a wrap then PPF on top of it.
I would totally do it. The ONLY reason I personally won’t, is I don’t absolutely love any particular color. I change my wraps out every year. To add the amount of money, and labor to do PPF on top of a wrap doesn’t make financial sense to me personally. But a lot of people do do it. It’s very common in the wrap world.

That is BEAUTIFUL! The black hinges look like they belong, with the door handles and flares.
Finish that off with the broncodepot badge, and it'll have the perfect retro vibe.
Love it!

Awesome color that does give it that days gone by look. Nicely done, thanks for the pics. When and if I every get mine, I was thinking of putting the clear wrap on my Cyber Orange. I'll keep you in mind when the time comes:cool:

Never in a million years would I have picked that color… but man, it looks awesome!!! I almost think you need to spray all the black white now to make it look total throwback!!!
Nicely done… subtle standout!

I did not wrap the hinges. Thats the beautiful part of having a black vehicle. If it started out any color but black, the hinges would look horrible not wrapped. And even if you did wrap them it would be a pain in the ass. But with black paint, just leave it.
Only pic of that side of the back I have my phone. I’ll post new ones later.

Thanks for the follow up. (y) I could see that you did not wrap them. I was just curious if you had attempted it and scrapped it. I'm not 100% convinced it can be done cleanly without looking wrapped.

Took delivery of her last Wed. On Friday it was in the shop getting wrapped in Avery’s Light Gloss Pistachio. It’s a pastel green. Has a 1960’s vibe to it.

A few of things first. I’m a graphics installer for a living. I’ve wrapped probably 1,000 vehicles in my career. I don’t do them much any more because there’s really no money in it. Most of my business is flat walls. But I’ll still do a vehicle a few times a year when it’s slow or it’s my own. I’ve had this vinyl for a few months now, just waiting on our Bronco to be delivered. We ordered Shadow Black because we knew we’d be wrap it. And black vehicles are alway easier and turn out better when done. We picked this Light Pistachio color because it was subtle enough to be different, but not loud enough to be obnoxious. I want to drive down the street and have other Bronco owners look at it and say “what?”, not “OMG”. I think we nailed it. The color works so good with the Bronco’s body lines….and heritage.

Obviously the break down of handles & fender flares were super easy. Which made the install even quicker. Took me a day to wrap the whole thing. Wifey wanted to keep the Badlands badges so I did. And we both wanted to keep the Bronco logo on the back. So I removed it, wrapped the tailgate and used VHB to re-Install it.

I also did strips of PPF in all t he door sills to protect them. Eventually I’ll takeoff the doors and wrap the entire jams. But I don’t have the door bags yet, so it’ll be while, and to be honest it doesn’t even look fun. Any advantage of black. If it started life out Race Red, the jams and rollbar would stand out like crazy and would have to be wrapped. Black goes with everything.

Ofher mods are a-pillar lights, shackles, HearShade bimini (which is awesome!) and black lug nuts. I plan on wrapping the beauty rings in the same color as the body, and then along with the black lug nuts, it’ll make the rims pop. The Rough Country leveling kit gets installed this coming weekend. And lastly, it’s getting Ceramic Quoted on Wednesday this week.

Couple of answers to questions I know people will have. First, it doesn’t look anything it like Cactus Grey. You can see the difference here…

Pricing. Tough one to nail nail down. The vinyl cost me $580 and the install was obviously free. I can’t and won’t give you exact quotes on what wraps for your Bronco will cost. Because everyone charges different. But I’d guess $2500-$3000 is fair based on what I’d charge. If you want to buy the roll of vinyl yourself I’ll send you the link, then you need to find someone to install it, which again, I can help find you a quality installer in your city. But I’d guess $1000-$1500 for the install alone, because that’s what I’d charge if you called me to install it. (Please don’t 😂)

How long does a wrap last. About 3 years is average. Depends on how you take care of it. Park it outside it’s whole life, never wash it and you let the birds shit on it, you’ll get a year. Park it in the garage, wash and wax it and take care of it, 5+ years. Yes, you can wax wraps. It’s actually recommended. Synthetic wax only. Think of it as sunscreen for the vinyl. It’ll keep all the nasty stuff off it. It’s up to you how long you want it to last. Yes, it’ll scratch. But light scratches will come out with sunlight hitting it. Drag a shopping cart down the side, it’ll tear at it.

So far I’ve had nothing but compliments. I’m sure someone won’t like the color. And that’s fine. We all like what we like. Next year we’re going to wrap it in a Powder Blue and I still want to wrap it in Snow Camo…which blends in to the Arizona landscape perfectly. 😂
Thanks for the honest info on how long wraps actually last. Since we dont have an easily usable garage, I've avoided wrapping. Will those large hood decals and side stripes, like those in the Ford Accessories catalogue, last longer than a wrap, if washed, but kept outdoors?

Love the color!
I live in Laveen, AZ. How's the soft top in this AZ heat ? It's still into the 90s in November...

LikeToTurnLeft,

I love the retro look. I work for Avery Dennison and thinking about using the Sea Breeze Blue on my impending BL. I attached the four new gloss pastel colors from the Supreme Wrapping line of films...too many colors to choose from!!

I would love your info on finding someone to wrap in San Diego that you can recommend. I do have a guy but two guys are better then one. Would also like the info on the wrap material also. I have a Cactus Grey Holding this month fingers crossed. Thxs for your info. Nicely done!

Really nice color choice. Love it. I had no idea wraps only last a few years though. I don’t I would want to spend the money every 5 years to re-wrap it.

Yours looks fantastic though.
