Default wrapping my 2005 GMC in matte grey metallic

Bought a 2005 GMC ccsb about a month ago. Needless to say i couldnt leave it stock. After going to SEMA I had this huge urge to vinyl wrap a vehicle of mine. The truck was what stood out most to do. Had a shop I do business with offer to do it at a very good price so i dropped it off last week for them to lower it, wrap it and throw some 22's on it. Ill keep posting progress pictures. Here is whats done so far.
stock..














more to come...

Cool color choice!!

Fun to see that color in a wrap now, probably easier to maintain than an actual paint job.

That's awesome ! I've been wanting to wrap a vehicle myself .

How will this hold up to daily driving ? Sun fade ? How durable is it ?

And what does it roughly cost to do a vehicle ?

I was told 3-5 years easily as a DD. Probably going to cost you $1,500-$2,500 for a full vehicle wrap.

It looks to be almost the same color as your truck.

Don't forget the spot under the tail gate... It's the one part that got missed when my truck was painted...
