Nardo Gray Wrap - Finished!

jwilso98 · Sep 1, 2023

Finally pulled the trigger on wrapping the truck, went with nardo gray to be a little different from the lunar edition. Still in the works but wanted to show the progress and truck without the fenders and bumper. Will get finished over the weekend and post the completed look, pretty stoked about it.

This color has been popular for about a decade now. I've loved it since I first saw it and have yet to get sick of it. When it first got popular a lot of detractors would say it looks like primer or it's a just a fad that will look dated in a couple years, but it still looks as good as ever.

Going to look great! I've been on the fence to do this to mine. What brand and color did you decide to go with?

Where's the "completed look"? I ordered a granite, which I don't like, and am thinking about doing this. Is the wrap actually called "nardo grey"? I thought it was just a kevlar color . . .

I had mine wrapped in a different version of Nardo (Avery Gloss Dark Grey) earlier this year, I love the color but the wrap has gotten a little scratched up from off-roading. The last wrap I had was a custom printed one with a laminate layer, so it was very thick and scratch resistant. Just in case anyone is considering a wrap for trail protection...

Sorry I've slacked on that! Been traveling a lot since so will get it cleaned up and post some pictures this evening, turned out great though!

Wrap came out great and finally got a chance to clean it up and get some photos, sorry for delay!

Truck looks awesome. Curious to see it next to a Lunar. Would not have known otherwise. There's good contrast in the front. Maybe little too mono on sides. Black fenders may be a good touch. Sharp looking truck!

I ordered a granite but decided against the color. Didn't want to just wrap it because vinyl doesn't really provide any protection but I just found out you can get PPF over the vinyl (or vice versa if you are worried about changing the color later). @CatchMeOffroad

Thanks man. I was next to a lunar the other day and the nardo is quite a good bit lighter than the lunar especially in the sun - hard to tell with the pictures and overcast.
Yea my shop let me know I could PPF over it, I had no idea or even thought about that before.
