That's the green Ford should have done! Looks fantastic!

Very nice, i wrapped the top of my wife's BroncoSport. I was going to do similar when my bronco arrives. May I ask how much product did you buy? (how big of a roll?) thx!Took delivery of her last Wed. On Friday it was in the shop getting wrapped in Averyās Light Gloss Pistachio. Itās a pastel green. Has a 1960ās vibe to it.
A few of things first. Iām a graphics installer for a living. Iāve wrapped probably 1,000 vehicles in my career. I donāt do them much any more because thereās really no money in it. Most of my business is flat walls. But Iāll still do a vehicle a few times a year when itās slow or itās my own. Iāve had this vinyl for a few months now, just waiting on our Bronco to be delivered. We ordered Shadow Black because we knew weād 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 āwhat?ā, not āOMGā. I think we nailed it. The color works so good with the Broncoās body linesā¦.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 Iāll takeoff the doors and wrap the entire jams. But I donāt have the door bags yet, so itāll be while, and to be honest it doesnāt 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, itāll make the rims pop. The Rough Country leveling kit gets installed this coming weekend. And lastly, itās getting Ceramic Quoted on Wednesday this week.
Couple of answers to questions I know people will have. First, it doesnāt look anything it like Cactus Grey. You can see the difference hereā¦
Pricing. Tough one to nail nail down. The vinyl cost me $580 and the install was obviously free. I canāt and wonāt give you exact quotes on what wraps for your Bronco will cost. Because everyone charges different. But Iād guess $2500-$3000 is fair based on what Iād charge. If you want to buy the roll of vinyl yourself Iāll 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 Iād guess $1000-$1500 for the install alone, because thatās what Iād charge if you called me to install it. (Please donāt )
How long does a wrap last. About 3 years is average. Depends on how you take care of it. Park it outside itās whole life, never wash it and you let the birds shit on it, youāll get a year. Park it in the garage, wash and wax it and take care of it, 5+ years. Yes, you can wax wraps. Itās actually recommended. Synthetic wax only. Think of it as sunscreen for the vinyl. Itāll keep all the nasty stuff off it. Itās up to you how long you want it to last. Yes, itāll scratch. But light scratches will come out with sunlight hitting it. Drag a shopping cart down the side, itāll tear at it.
So far Iāve had nothing but compliments. Iām sure someone wonāt like the color. And thatās fine. We all like what we like. Next year weāre going to wrap it in a Powder Blue and I still want to wrap it in Snow Camoā¦which blends in to the Arizona landscape perfectly.
That makes sense in the fact that the original paint is protected.Depends on how you look at value. Wraps temporary, paint is permanent. My resale value stays the same because the original paint is perfect under the wrap, literally the sun has never seen it. A paint job has now ruined the resale because youād need to find someone that wants that exact color. Plus $5000 for paint isnāt doing the entire car. The door jams, under the hood, wheel wheels, etc still arenāt painted. That said, I agree, wraps can get really pricey.
Agree.Hey Ford. This needs to be your new cactus color.

I love that Sea Breeze Blue! Very much like Fender's (guitars) Sonic Blue that I've always been smitten with. It's similar to what I thought Cactus Gray would be based on the launch videos. Maybe a shade darker. I was really bummed to eventually learn Cactus Gray wasn't actually the color we all thought it was going to be.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!!
This is surprising to me. Given all the new Bronco owners reportedly dropping $7k+ on wraps I figured skilled wrappers would be buying their own private islands in the Caribbean after a few years.Iāve wrapped probably 1,000 vehicles in my career. I donāt do them much any more because thereās really no money in it.
I would be down for this blue. Kind of like yours with a little more punch.This is surprising to me. Given all the new Bronco owners reportedly dropping $7k+ on wraps I figured skilled wrappers would be buying their own private islands in the Caribbean after a few years.
That said, this pistachio green is brilliant!!! I wish Ford had dipped into the color catalog of the original Bronco for the new model.
Question for you. I noticed you said Black is easy to wrap, what do you think about white? I'm probably just going to do some stripes, but if I can afford a full wrap I might go that route!Took delivery of her last Wed.

I just want whatever this is, which is not Area 51 and is not Cactus Gray:I would be down for this blue. Kind of like yours with a little more punch.
