Default Small Project - Wrapped Door Button Bezels

Had a few small pieces of 3D CF wrap left over from another project I was doing and decided to try wrapping the door button bezels with them. Hadn't tried anything with so many little contours and curves, figured these would be a good way to practice. Turned out to be a little easier then I thought it would be; found the key was keeping the heat on (from my wife's hairdryer) almost constantly as I applied the wrap. This allowed the wrap to conform and smooth out easily. What I thought might be a few hour job, turned out to be less then an hour from removing to reinstalling the bezels.

Looks great! I wrapped mine as well and agree that heat is key... after surface prep that is.

If you're looking for another small project with slightly higher difficulty; the drivers and passenger side window switch surrounds look great wrapped. Also that AC vent in your picture holds wrap well.
