FINALLY: Midnight silver MX with full Xpel Stealth Wrap!!!

[essmd]

The process of applying XPEL Stealth began today and here's a few photos for those who are interested...chrome will be foiled black after the PPF is applied. The work is being done by NVN Motorworks in dubai.

Are they going to wrap around the edges where possible or just stop at the outside edge of the panel?

My first wrap was non-wrapped, which held up well for a year, but the edges were slightly visible. My current car has edges wrapped, and this requires some "cuts" to allow for rounded corners.

They are wrapping some edges and not others. Based on their experience they do a mix by modifying the standard XPEL templates in AutoCAD. The harsh summers in Dubai can cause wrapped edges to peel off even if they do relief cuts.

These guys wrap 4-5 cars a week, mostly Italian and other European exotics and are a bit conservative in their approach...especially when it comes to having blades near the paintwork.

Please hijack away! Looks awesome! My X is plain old black - can I put this Midnight Silver on mine as well or do I gotta go with grey? I have had it about a year and planning to keep it a good long time...

XPEL Stealth is the paint protection film I used. It is semi transparent and just adds a matte finish to whatever your paint color is underneath. In your case, your car would be matte black rather than glossy black, with the added protection to the paint that the film provides. It does not change the color of the car. There are other wraps that can change the color of the car as well.
