White MIC hardtop wrap -- DIY'd with 3M vinyl

[Dads_bronze_bronco]

I love it! As a 2dr EG owner & lover of vintage stuff, this is a look I've been wanting for mine.

Your execution is flawless.

Wish 3M would make something close to Wimbledon White. 1080 Satin Pearl White is the closest I’ve found, but it becomes too white when reflecting light.

Following Budget bronco, I decided to wrap my 2 door top myself with 3m vinyl. I would not say it was easy or looks perfect but was definitely budget friendly. With some help from my wife, I thought it was a pretty good diy project. I hope it encourages others.

Looks great!

Where did you get your mud flaps?

It’s a cream color. Almost Eddie Bauer cream

I am very jealous.

I'm digging the creme... I was thinking either a white G1 look, or doing everything in creme w/ an 80s badge.

We've had 3 model years so far that people have been wrapping and painting the MIC tops with no serious issues that I've been seen. Only differences I can think of is those that have painted scuffed and prepped whereas the wrappers haven't (that I know of). The worse I've heard on any of the wrapped tops, is what the OP saw, which is maybe some bubbling and then edges getting loose over time. I think a professional shop could probably mitigate those issues with a little install experience and heat without having to scuff and prep the top in any way.

Yeah, mine was not scuffed before wrapping. Installer said it was a workout with the roller. My installation looks like it came from the factory white. all of the edges are wrapped so you can't see any grey from the outside. No loss of adhesion anywhere.

PPG rep said not to paint or wrap yet, until they come up with products that will stick. Jim.

PPG rep doesn't want you find out that the competitors products might work

Pretty much the look we are going for. Finding some EBish is harder than it seems it should be. Nice job!
