Need to do something with the gmc emblem, either a grille that deletes it or paint it. Looks great otherwise.

I would never discount the ability of a talented painter, but this is still cool to get close to the same results with a wrap.
Good point on the ability of the painter. I've seen some pretty bad matte paint jobs as well but attributed more to the color being a poor choice.

Yup, I agree about the emblem.

It's vinyl. I believe 3M is a large supplier of wraps. It is something I personally would leave to the pros, there are tricks to making it look good that a person only learns from experience.
