How to Wrap your Car – Part 1 – Preparing the Bodywork

Watch as I get started on prepping the MX5 bodywork for wrapping. There’s quite a few little dents and marks which need to be fixed up before wrapping the car to ensure a quality and long lasting result.

I’m not a professional, and I’ve deliberately kept this video relatively vague because I’m sure there’s a tonne of stuff I could improve. That said, I was able to achieve the desired result so I guess I can’t have screwed up too badly! Either way, let me know what I could improve on in the comments and I’ll note these things in the next video so we can continue to learn together as a community!

Once the job is done I’ll come back and retrospectively address all the things I’d do differently next time.
