Are you considering or have you wrapped your Grenadier? If so, with what and why?

Although Raptor is more/less permanent, it is easy to touch up if it’s ever needed. I had LineX on the fender flares, wheel wells, bed, lower rear quarter panels, and bumper on my Ford Raptor and they still looked the same as when new 5yrs later. Raptor is marketed as the DIY equivalent to LineX, which requires a LineX shop to spray and bake

When I got my ND, I told my wife it looked too pretty with all the gloss black and told her I was thinking about Raptor spraying all the black….she threatened to divorce me for being stupid if I went through with it, haha!!

You have to scuff up the paint for this to adhere properly, so in essence you are ruining a fine paint surface to apply another textured surface. It does need maintenance from time to time because it is a semi soft polymer. I considered it for my camper, just haven't gotten around to ordering it.

That’s true but regardless of scuffing or not, the OEM paint is non-recoverable once the Raptor coating is applied. It’s not meant to be a reversible option.

I wrote that long post and failed to mention my plan. I’ve ordered magic mushroom with contrast black roof and fender plates. I liked the prototype vehicles with the rear door contrast color and the nose dipped in paint look.
I think I’ll go with a “stealth” wrap to give a matte finish overall, but have a few ideas for “ghosting” some decals and branding under the stealth wrap.

My choice of colour is the Magic Mushroom.
I intend to use mine primarily as an overlanding platform, traveling into remote areas where tracks are often heavily overgrown.
To cover it in a protective wrapping it essential imo.
I particularly like this clear matte finish which apparently has self-healing qualities when you scratch it!
A soft heating of the damaged film, I'm told is enough to mend any damage (within reason of course)

the Grenadier is flat no crazy angles I think 2 people and a few beers could do this after a few youtube videos in a weekend for about 400.00 USD

I would in theory like to clear wrap mine to protect it from bush damage. But for a vehicle this size it’s about $8k AUD if they have a template available for the vehicle and about $12k if they don’t, and they don’t. So I am doing a self healing ceramic coating for about $1800 it won’t give the same amount of protection but will help.

You can purchase the Bush Wrapz product (clear PPF) for $600 as a DIY kit. or about $1700 installed. That's not the full wrap, but the 'advanced' kit which covers side sides and has a few mm gap around the edges. I think it's worth doing as a replaceable option every few years.
