the way you finessed that bumper blew me away .. great job man😮

[@ParadoxTheWrapper]

Thanks! It’s a very hard bumper

[@justinturner4850]

I’m a painter. And I’m guessing the reason he was quoted $6k is because there’s about 100 hours of body work to get the body kit to fit right without a bunch of waves and gaps. That’s not even mentioning the cost of materials and labor for the actual primer, paint, clear, tape, sandpaper, rags, solvents etc. it really adds up. Especially if you use high quality paint like House of Kolor.

[@mercedes.c63_audi.q8]

I agree... those high quotes were because of the body work involved, which it needed A LOT of.

[@jrgarcia8133]

I agree

[@itzfreakinjamie]

6k sounds right to me for a complete paint job that requires more than a lay over. Agree with you all.

[@bugeye02707]

As in the body kit and car was thrashed needed hella work

[@danieljoseph2428]

6k for paint and body sounds way too cheap to fix all the issues seen in the video. 6k for paint or 5k for wrap I'm going paint everytime.

[@johnnycashh7148]

Made that kit look 1000% better!! 👏 👏 👏

[@Dagasm]

The wrap definitely helped the kit merge with the original lines of the car. Very nice.

[@kenchan6688]

I love how you have grown to an actual off the site business. I used to watch you when you had your pigs and ducks. And you were wrapping your G T3 1000 Chrome and all the other stuff. I was there when you had a 100 views.

[@avguylyfe5837]

Thats why some places over charge instead of just saying no. A body kit with poor paint etc they don't want to be held responsible. Eventhough all wrappers tell you if thr car has been repainted it may peel. But some still complain. But really good job here

[@khemchee4685]

That honesty came out better than what I thought

[@chris_is_motivated7048]

You make the job look so fun and easily. The shirt off made me wanna hop in and help 😂

[@kendalgee5808]

why ru gay foo? lmfao

[@G_Ozare]

As usual Paradox killed it but People keep wrapping turds. This G35 is clapped. Paradox making miracles.

[@BlackSzn7]

LMFAOOO

[@saigoneze4465]

Always trips me out when I watch you work bro especially when it comes to intricate front bumpers .Id be confident wrapping a full car but when it comes to bumpers with multiple peices not so much .Love the transformation you give these cars and the owners reactions .I wish you were here in Australia!

[@ParadoxTheWrapper]

Thanks! It’s not so bad when you get use to do long them

[@derekgray1633]

My G has the same kit. I tried to wrap it myself 2 years ago I didn’t know anything, I didn’t even use a heat gun, it was not a good experience I wasted tons of material. I decided to try again color matching my truck, I had a heat gun this time, but 3 hours into the front bumper I burned a hole with my heat gun and ruined it. I let the truck sit torn apart in the garage for 2 days while I binge watched your videos all weekend. Came down to give it another try and man I can’t thank you enough for what you do. I gained so many tips from your videos it’s like I had a class.

[@ParadoxTheWrapper]

Hell yeah! All I ask is that next time you try a color from ParadoxStyling.com

[@kenneylom8695]

Excellent installment ‼️

[@alf2633]

That looks insanely good. Like damn. Your skills are next level. Wish I had someone like you around here in Aus.

[@jimsgaragetoys]

I wish that I knew of someone near me that did work like you do. I would have you wrap my GR Corolla but I'm 12 hours away from you in WA State! The wrap you did on this car transformed it. Great job!

[@T12i99iN]

It turned out pretty well considering the kit didn't really fit too well. Those gaps on those over fenders is a little less noticeable.

[@sjgoff]

I have a car that I wrapped 7 years ago that sits outside in the sun most of the time and it looks great. BUT... I wax it three times a year and use a quick detailer wax every time I wash it (about every 2 weeks). I have another car that is garage kept, and that wrap is over 15 years old and looks perfect.

[@ParadoxTheWrapper]

I have never tried to wax a wrap before. Maybe it helps prevent sun damage? I might have to test this out

[@sjgoff]

@@ParadoxTheWrapper It’s all about UV protection and most waxes have a LOT of UV protection built in, but it degrades over time. I’ll gladly spend 20 minutes after washing every time to keep my finish looking great and save me from unwarapping/ rewrapping 😎

[@sjgoff]

@@ParadoxTheWrapper Ceramic coating is basically a fancy wax coating (yes I know it's more complicated than that) that needs less replenishing but it degrades over time as well. Most people don't wax their cars often enough, especially in CA where there is little cloud cover and cars are exposed to UV twice as much as cars in other, more northern, states.

[@joelvinson]

Yooo! This came out WAY better than I expected. DOPE.

[@ParadoxTheWrapper]

Thanks!

[@dunes2006]

paradox youre the man.. holy shit this one was not easy and came out gorgeous !!!

[@ParadoxTheWrapper]

Thanks! It was definitely very hard

[@JohnPedder]

Excellent work!!!

[@Leehuss5582]

I would NOT tell if that was an actual paint job, testament of a quality wrap....well done Bro👍

[@Tierone1337]

That’s because everything looks good on cam. Wrap is shit

[@lambchopLSX87]

Wow that kit was something else. Great job man

[@voongnz]

Aye nice looking great, what a transformation. Just need some pdr guy to knock out that door dent straight and it's good.

[@Uniquelymony1111]

This looks amazing ! I’m going to do my car and you just made it look so easy. This is great work looks like a brand new car !

[@redlinek2063]

The GOAT paradox has done it again!!! Killed it on this one for sure 😎😮‍💨

[@cpham5566]

hi, wow, you make this wrap look so easy, make people thing they can DIY their car, special when you don't remove anything, just wrap as it is.. awesome work and nice video...

[@hellaflushhonda]

I definitely would’ve charged 5k as well, a proper wrap the wide body comes off so you can wrap partially underneath same goes with head light and tail lights . For a budget wrap this is good definitely corners cut but with how rough this car was and how unprofessional those over fenders were installed it looks wayyyyy better

[@PatrickGotHands]

No one paying you 5k not even Cali area charges that

[@samadhe8048]

5k my ass

[@joshrawks21]

I get what you mean but no. Wraps are over price because they wanna make it seem like it's hard to do when it's not. The film is very flexible and could be moved to fit almost anything. And removing a bumper or door 2 people at a time is no problem. They just wanna always up charge.

[@marniionmee2140]

@@PatrickGotHands5k for paint

[@wilmersilva4338]

Man that looks super clean fk awesome job

[@Shawn-fu3mp]

This is amazing! I wrapped my rear lights in a tint and had all these creases!...looks bad! I don't know how you make it look so easy...

[@s.o.s.exploration2412]

Been a minute since I caught another one of ur vids. Glad you have another set of hands and a Obi-Wan trainee. Thanks for the vids.

[@supashogun5862]

looks amazing well done

[@unit3002]

This dude is amazing !!

[@clutch7366]

Nice color! That wrap looks like the interlagos fire metallic paint I had on my ‘06 Z.

[@destrocrimson]

for sure elevated that cars looks to a new level

[@marcstreiff6067]

Nicely done wrap job over those screwed on panels from the washer dryer..

[@VictorFlores-fc7pb]

😂

[@MatthewTitterington-bq7eh]

I'm in Santa Cruz. I'm about to try wrapping my Ford fiesta first time. But I have been playing a lot with my motorcycle. Wrapping my kawasexy z125. Did a few colors and settled on a satin red ♥️.

[@emmanuelbadajos924]

That car came in looking like crap, but when you got done with it, man, 1000% fly.

[@Youtube_executive999]

Looks way better than I thought it would look

[@mauisuzuki7857]

Pure finesse👌👌👌

[@kbbg00141]

I agree with the owner “ DAMN” I thought the car was scrap before you wrapped it but now….. WOW. Awesome job.

[@ParadoxTheWrapper]

Thanks!

[@thialandpierson5061]

Your wonderful work my friend

[@modify100]

Dope vid as always! Another spectacular job! U gave his car life again.. 😂

[@MrVegas702-zk5ye]

It came out amazing

[@Dreadz530]

Lol after running quite a few gardens over the years in the middle of the mountains I can never get that sound out of my head 😂. Someone is out with a T-Post banger knocking out a new fence haha. I think I started to feel the vibration Everytime I heard the strike like some PTSD shit haha

[@thisnewcreatedaccount5286]

Upload more often. Like the videos Paradox

[@XinthelifeX]

This is true art👌🏼

[@allovertheplace7973]

Imagine having the video of your wrap as well. So dope.

[@bigred2262]

Clean was rough around edges but this man is a artist. Experience seems so hard to appreciate but damn clean car grats ❤❤

Nicely done sir

[@MartinRivera-ip9zu]

Very impressive you changed the look of that vehicle, excellent work.

[@aceboogie9983]

Crazy transformation

[@Nikosakii]

Holy shit that came out CLEANNN

[@GeoCog]

The way he wrapped that front bumper was amazing 🤯

[@MrDustinclement]

Hey man, love the videos. I’ve been watching for a few weeks maybe a month now, but watched a ton of old stuff. I keep seeing what looks like you cutting on the car. I noticed it on the skyline video around the door handles first and I went oooooooo noooo he’s not lol and kept seeing what I thought was you running the razor on the paint. Thought maybe since it was yours, you didn’t care but I saw the same thing on this cars bumper and stuff so I have to ask, are you cutting on the car? What am I missing. School me good sir. I wrapped my first panel last night so now just going back to look for little tips and tricks for edges and how to actually do your finish work so any tips are appreciated!

[@MACKBONSE]

Great job

[@johansanchez1864]

Impresionante trabajo,eres el mejor, saludos desde Venezuela..

[@JustDontPls]

Changed shawty from a 3 to a 10 sheeeesh that’s some damn good work right there

[@ScratchyBaws]

Wow, you took a car that looked like shite and fit for a scrapyard and turned it into showroom quality. Hats off to you guys across the pond there, no wonder that customer was a happy wee bunny.

[@marvgee215]

Outstanding.

[@DocFortyThree]

Great work on this ride. How long did it take to wrap this car?

[@edgarflores504]

Dam what a great job!!!👍👍👍

[@SwampusMcGarniglus]

that car looks so good at the end.

[@a.k.akingloose]

Sickk!

[@js92css]

Not gonna sugar coat it, this one came out damn nice!

[@ParadoxTheWrapper]

Thanks!

[@Clos-wx1mv]

​@ParadoxTheWrapper wanna share the price.. for this wrap please

[@meatloafmike]

Yo Paradox do you have more car pics done in that Diablo Red c8 material? I’m thinking of getting it done on an FR-S!

[@JulesMechanics]

🔥🔥

[@PreciousKathyx]

I’m planning on wrapping my BRZ soon been watching your videos for tips.I live in Florida so would I have to notify the dmv that I changed the color of the car? That’s the only thing I’m worried about love your videos thanks!

[@leerhodes6192]

The screws look cool ✌️

[@kevinohler7054]

Great video! I wanna wrap my sti but afraid of fucking up lol.

[@As-nw4fg]

There's paint shops that charge 1k for one quote you just have too look around neighboring cities.

[@Vintageforever707]

I’m afraid to do my front bumper on my own but I need to do it

[@gypsyxxx]

nice work

[@SGTPJ]

Exellent job, how long did this job take?

[@reyy717]

I said damn right with him cause wow that looks amazing! I live in Santa Barbara wish you were closer

[@MrButtercup]

I have a 2006 Infiniti G35 Coupe and I wanted to do over fenders, but this is what I'm scared of. It doesn't look very good unless you use bondo to smooth them to the body.

[@Vgk36]

yeah man those rivets being shiny is not the move... smooth or nothing.

[@BWTECH0521]

wow he did those front bumper accent pieces without knifeless tape. That is insane skill...!!!

[@station4734]

Dude wrap the eclipse plzzzzz I own one and want a good reference you’ve had that eclipse for a while too it’s always peeking in the back 😂😂😂

[@yiandrea84]

How long will the wrap color last on the car? Few years or longer?

[@BIGPAUL310]

Very nice job

[@Ares14]

when I was looking around. I got an estimate for a drop with lowering springs in hand for 1,400 dollars here in the Bay area lol.. prices are fuckin crazy out here.

[@josephthomas1493]

i do not have the patience for this 😆

[@stanfordkoch1271]

Thats one sick car

[@ybsthecliq968]

fire ass job 🤙

Awesome job on this 👏 Can you do my wide body next?lol

Dm me pics of the car to set it up

I want mine done

[@user-vq6jo2vz9u]

What's held together with sheet metal screws

[@Jomievolution8]

I would take the decals off to make more clean

[@Jessie_dc4]

Paint prices are crazy lol I’m just gonna order the wrap and wrap it my self cause even those prices are going up

[@ParadoxTheWrapper]

Do it!

[@JoshTolbert]

$6k to bodywork and paint that…that was a steal. It needs a ton of body work.

[@supergrendel]

How that car stays together at highway speeds needs to be investigated by Nasa Aerospace scientists

[@ninabrown3533]

Dang I wanna wrap it myself to save some money and give my baby a better look but I don’t wanna mess it up either 🥴 also to pay someone to wrap gonna cost more than my car actually worth at this point. Maybe I need to take a class

[@samsungiphone]

That's what I'm saying but even taking a class I don't have the patience for even doing that.

[@ednice1345]

1st don't underestimate yourself ...KZbin is the best school for free look for some on how to and just do it.....

[@TroughtLikeTheFish]

How do you prep and unpainted plastic bumper for wrap? I just got my new bumper and wonder if I need to primer it first

[@franciscopulgar3880]

Una locura!
