Ray, you cant do this solo, you will defo need at least 2 people for the larger areas, and remember when you heat it up dont overstretch it, you need a team wrap event at your place this weekend !!

Don't be so sure. I've tried working on some smaller parts with Plastidip and it's harder than it looks to get a decent finish. You have to get the spraying technique perfect otherwise it leaves bubbles on the surface.

I always thought wrapping was at least a two person job. All the videos I've ever seen show 3-4 people doing a car at once, so is it a case that another pair of hands might be needed?

That said, what you've done does look very good so far
