Default Carbon wrapping parts

Right im after a few bits wrapped on my car mainly dash parts. Ive bought some wrap, had a go, not too bad for first attept but some of the bigger bits may be really awkward to do. Is there anyone you can send bits off to to get done?

What parts are you trying to wrap? I used to be pretty good at it not done any wrapping for a long time though.

Dash fascia, glove box gear surround etc etc. Mirror base plates and a few other bits. I had a go at the gear surround, not a bad effort think I need a hot air gun instead of a hairdryer. Had a look on yutube at how to do it properly

Wraps are good for shells and big panels, but not so much for little detailed areas.

For those you want to get them hydro dipped for best results as Jamie said.

Im just about to start my own hydrographics company as chance would have it
