Loving the color! What's the shelf life for a wrap? A few years?

The last one only lasted 3 years but it was a neon, which I wasn't aware of the short life (fade). This should be good for 5-7 years..

I take it that is 5 years of being kept outside and daily driven to 7 years of being garage kept and only driven in nice weather?

Door sills are still yellow along with jambs that show a little. I am going to try some molding to hide it.

I like my yellow vette but the paint is old and I would like to wrap it for cost effectiveness compared to painting but if I did it would be in the same yellow, if I could get it. Was a yellow closer to MY available and you just decided to do the neon?

I thought the Neon would make the car pop. There are close yellow gloss vinyl avail.
I appreciate the understatement
