[emoji7][emoji7] very nice indeed!

You can literally go with any color on that combination honestly.

Just pick a color that matches your personality. Red is sporty and safe. Black or silver is clean and won't really stand out. Yellow is gaining a lot of popularity. Monster Green is for the brave (very aggressive). Blue is another sporty and safe option.

How long did it take you to do all 4 calipers. And, how long did you wait after you sprayed the caliper to remove the tape and put wheel back on.

I've only done the front two. I'm still debating about doing the rears.

Once I finished spraying the last clear coat I removed all the tape immediately. I think I waited about 30 minutes before I mounted the wheel on. I don't recommend you drive for at least a few hours because you don't want any brake dust on the caliper while its curing.

My first go at wrapping my steering wheel with 5D carbon fiber vinyl.

I'm also in the process of recording a how-to for my ytube channel. Hopefully not a fail

That's pretty cool! I've always wondered how the vinyl wraps on tight curves such as the steering wheel. Looking forward to your video!

I tried not to stretch it beyond 30%. The bottom of the wheel is much tougher.

The flat parts are much easier.
