Vinyl wrap for Sonoma jewel metallic?

[Justin14Sierra]

I thought so. It don't get much better than a ZL1. Have you left it stock?I
Are you just wrapping the bumpers or are you getting rid of all the chrome?
I actually like it the way it is with the chrome but thats just me. I think if you do the bumpers you have to do everything. It would look killer 100% color matched.

Right guys?

Yep stock. Only got it in fall last year so barely driven it. And ya plan is bumpers and maybe grille border. And then get the chrome denali piece that surrounds the tow hooks. I think it will be the right amount of chrome.

Finally found time to wrap the bumpers. Took the front and rear bumpers off and fully disassembled them to make the wrapping easier on me as I have zero experience. Lots of work but overall I am satisfied. Wrap did lighten up a bit when stretched. But colour is close enough for me.



At first I thought for sure I was going to paint the parking sensors, but after I wrapped the bumpers and installed the sensors I liked the silver.

Looks awesome! I struggled with the front bumper, as it was my first time wrapping bumpers also. I pulled my sensors out and wrapped them as well. Very tedious and took longer than expected, trying different things each time. They ended up looking pretty good besides a few blemishes on the sensors themselves.

So I went ahead and ordered 8 samples of every burgundy metallic wrap I could find on the market and there’s only one that can pass for close.

Here’s a comparison picture between all candidate colours. Yes some are out to lunch, some advertised colours did not match real product.

Clear winner is 4th sample from left. ORACAL Series 970RA High Gloss Red Brown Metallic Vinyl Wrap Film W/Rapid Air | 970RA-369.



Here is a picture with strong direct sunlight. As you can see doesn’t quite get as red, stays a little more orange.


Here is a picture in lower light conditions. Camera seemed to pick up a bigger difference than my eye. Lower light the vinyl doesn’t get quite as dark as paint.





Overall I’m very happy with the colour. It is more than close enough for me to pull the trigger. I have placed an order and plan on wrapping bumpers and grill soon. Stay tuned. Hope this helps the Sonoma red guys and gals out there that were wondering.

What’s number 5 sample?

Both trucks look good! I’m looking at wrapping my bumpers in summit white. 
 

On the sensors, I surprisingly like the silver sensors on the red and may leave mine silver as well.  But the color matched sensors looks good also.
 

Does the added wrap effect the sensor any? They are fairly sensitive.
