And I'm not bragging or anything, but I'm pretty good at painting, so I have the luxury of being able to paint myself a nice body.

I was curious though, so I decided to make my own wrap for my 808 xray buggy. It covers the entire body 100% with no gaps, but it could use some tweaking as far as lining my design up better. I have a degree in graphic design, so I might as well use it. I had an auto wrap outfit print it out on the proper wrap material, so it's the real deal, but I have to say I still prefer a good painted body over the wrap.

the 1st buggy is a wrap, the truggy is painted and so is the last buggy picture
Nice wrappin for a painter dude!!

Shoot me an email XL.... wanna run a few things by ya.
