Default Camo Wraps for Tahoe

Has anyone put on a camoclad material like this www.camo4u.com - I am looking at doing a full wrap on my 09 Tahoe. Just wonder if I should try it myself , or pay someone to do it....

Welcome to the forum.

I watched a pro do it at SEMA last year and it's definitely not a DIY project. Looked about ten times harder than doing window tint. Interestingly enuf, they took it off at the end of each day and did another motif the next day.

how much was it?
I dont like the camo, but I called a place here to price it out and I was told $12/sq.ft, so I figured like $800 for an 18 foot Sub, left, right, top, hood, and tailgate. What I wanted to do was nothing fancy just cover over the faded blue paint with either a two-tone blue design, dark on top, light on bottom(like midnight/sky). Or dark blue with a light blue flame job running up the front fenders to the side doors, the hood and ending around the mid section.
For my G20, probably just a simple 2 tone wrap. Maybe like the Beauvilles from the 70s where the light band was in the center of the dark bands or like in the 90s where the light band was at the bottom by the wheels wells.

What do you think?

I think Camo4u charged me around $3.50/square foot - which I though was a good deal. The vinyl came in and you can tell it is high quality...
