Has anyone here wrapped their e, or have experience of wrapping cars in general?

Contemplating doing it but I have no idea the cost window or if it'll have an adverse effect on the soft paint when removed.

I was considering wrapping my E but then named it Pikachu and settled down with the charged yellow color. My partner had her Toyota IQ wrapped and now she has her new Peugeot e208 wrapped as well. Both times the wrapping was done professionally and with Toyota it is still holding for over 10 years so we didn't get a chance to peel it off and have no idea how difficult it is. But based on my experience with 3M carbon fiber wraps from other projects, it shouldn't be difficult to remove with some heat applied. The paint on the E is weirdly soft, but I dont think that wrapping would damage it. Just keep in mind that proper wrapping involves partial disassembly of the car, so I would not trust some unknown garage with my E. Normally, if you dont see a couple of Lambos parked outside of the wrapping place then it is not a trustworthy place :D

Oh yeah, the price is based on the size of the car, the wrap you pick and the place that does the wrapping. The best place in Lithuania with an averagely priced wrap would do it for 2-3k euros. If you are somewhere more expensive like the UK it would probably cost you 3-4k euros. One more thing to keep in mind is that if it is a good place and you want your car wrapped there, you better register now and maybe you will get it done by Christmas. The wrapping itself takes 2-3 days, but all tesla owners want their boring cars wrapped first so you will have to wait :D Btw, you can put ceramic coating on the wrap for extra protection (add 4 more days of work and something like 500-1k euros to the cost).

Thanks everyone. I do like the yellow but it bugs me how delicate the paint is so wrapping was more to protect it.

Does anyone else have people say it's green? It's clearly yellow to me and also in the name, but I've had multiple people claim it's more of a greeny yellow, but more on the green side. I've suggested they might be colourblind...

Love the pikachu decals btw MaXPainT!

I originally wanted the yellow but my wife said it was too green which I couldn't see personally. I was thinking perhaps I'm the one with colourblindness.
