Gonna cover my bumpers in black. Thanks for the link. I'll definetly practice on something before tackling the bumpers. Do you know about a vinyl that has a texture that might approximate the pimply texture on a factory Ford F250 black, plastic grill (I don't want to wrap the grill)? It's not a very rough texture, about the texture and almost satin black color found on Harley Wrinkle Black powder coating on an engine.
Thanks for your input.

I just got my bike done with the protection film last week, and it looks great, can hardly tell it's there unless you feel with your hand. I'm so glad I went with the Expel Ultimate film, and not the 3M, it's much clearer, & doesn't feel soft and sticky. The Expel product is about 30% more expensive but well worth it. I got the bike all done for $300.00. Should have a great paint job for years!!!
