Need tips on wrapping an original iroc hood!
Need tips on wrapping an original iroc hood, had a fender bender that warped my cowl hood a bit, decided I'd get an original hood from the junkyard. Found one in pretty decent condition but in need of paint/wrap. However paint I'd out of my price range and I feel like wrapping would be more attainable for me. Going to wrap the hood myself of course. Any help is appreciated greatly 🙏

Best advice I can give, as someone who's wrapped hundreds........ is to watch a video. A picture, or video, is worth a thousand words. Hard to describe.

Gotcha, gotcha, just working with a tight budget and figured I'd be best if I did it myself. Only thing I'm worried about is when it's done. Heard heat and sun can mess some stuff up if it's not done right

The Sun is brutal. None of the vinyl we use to wrap carries any warranty on any horizontal surface. Hoods, roofs, etc. etc. ....doesn't mean it won't last and look good though. Obviously LOTS of people wrap hoods. Color is the worst, especially red. They fade, but if you're just doing black or something, it'll lighten ever so slightly over time, but you should be fine.
