I’m thinking of having the nose and small rear door wrapped in a contrast colour as per the early demo/prototype vehicles. Has anyone done this on their vehicle or for some other reason had experience removing the rear ladder and trim on the small rear door? I would be interested in any tips on dismantling and regarding what bits pop off/screw off/are glued on/break (or are liable to) when removed. Thanks
Up here in North QLD Australia wrap doesn't last too long, the UV protection is fine but the edges always fray within 2-3 years for most road cars, so I wouldn't do it here. Better option here would be to get a decent panel shop to repaint. Pricier, but only good option for the tropics I reckon.

Anyone done this recently? Curious if there is a pattern available for the nose and what the best way to go about pulling the ladder with minimal work so it doesn’t risk getting messed up.

Waiting to get pics in the sun, but this from this evening and based on best guesses from my local guys.

What's the gray called? Looks like 3m bone grey.

It took a very long time to find something that matched what I remembered and had pics from the prototypes, everything seemed too dark.

I settled on “Light Grey” made by Cheetah Wrap.
