Josh from ADA Offroad called us up one day, asking if we did wraps. I confirmed that we indeed did, and he informed us of a build they were heading up for the owner of Keg Media, Robbie Bryant. This was in fact his wife's new vehicle, a 2015 GMC Yukon XL. That was a LOT of real estate to cover. Josh wanted to keep it local, and our companies have worked together in the past and have maintained a healthy business relationship. After a phone conversation with Robbie, I agreed that MSA would assist in wrapping the vehicle, and so the saying goes, the rest was history.
What's intriguing about this Matte Red Aluminum from Arlon, is that it's color somewhat changes depending on the lighting. Under typical overhead lighting that has that yellow hue, the wrap appears to be a copper. Depending on how the sunlight hits, it gives a blood red or a bright red appearance. For being a Matte finish, it can fool the eye unless you're seeing it in person.
In it's final stages now, here are the pictures as the wrap was being done.
Reviews of the wrap
This is our first time using Arlon Products. As a wrap, I was quite impressed. It stretched and wrapped quite easily. Being a metallic finish, I imagined some discoloration as the product stretched around certain areas. But it didn't. The bond was good and the "pores" worked just as well as the other companies when pushing out any air bubbles. Working out creases were a little more difficult, but not significant. Overall, we would definitely use the product again without hesitation.
