The rear quarters of our L322 were 'scabby' when we first got it, but I didn't pay much attention because there were far more serious issues to deal with, namely the rusted out sills and rear jacking points. Anywat having dealt with all that lot and just having MOT'd the Old girl I decided it was time to sort out the rear quarters. Unfortunately I cannot use paint and primer etc because the appalling state of my lungs, so I decide to try and do a wrap. Hmm how hard could it be I wondered, well the answer is very hard indeed, especially if you are stupid enough to attempt it on your own! However I have to say if you are patient AND you have an assistant it can be done. You need a good heat gun, ISO propyl alcohol and a scalpel, but more importantly you need to THOROUGHLY prep the area you are going to wrap because any imperfections are magnified by the wrapping process.
I have awarded myself a 5 out of ten score, as it is the 1st time I have ever attempted such a task. But at only £15 a quarter it makes very good financial sense. I will probably redo the 1st attempt after completing the 2nd one with the knowledge `i have gained, but still £45 is a small price to pay for what would have cost an awful lot more in primer, filler, paint and clear coat. I will upload some pics when I have finished both sides, I would definitely recommend the process unless you are going for a concours finish.
