I lost $4K and 1 entire week of labor (and fingertips) to remove it after 15 months. The liquid wrap thing (which is really a fancier plastidip) sounds interesting though. Not cheap either.
Thanks Deschodt. Based on your posts and and other research. I decided to just get the whole front end repainted. I also remembered that a buddy runs a paint & body shop about 30 miles away. He did the paint and I picked it up a couple days ago. $2000 and it looks great. A near perfect match and I am very happy. A wrap was going to be $3-$4000 and I decided I would not be satisfied, long term.
