really dont know how long.... if you count the first piece that I screwed up & a lot of re-working maybe 3+ hours
but I bet a lot of people could get it done in a lot less time

holy crap is that Macjac?
Long time sir...
Scoot nice job, i've been wanting to do the same thing, from the same company, but I was just worried about how it would look. After seeing yours I just have convince myself I have the steady hand and mental tolerance to see the job through to the end. That's a pretty expensive mistake if you screw it up.

and a tip (for Rattlers at least)
I blacked out the openings with flat black paint in case I couldnt stretch the wrap into everything - like around the headlights & the passenger grab handles
I also did the "slots" in the side panels but was able to cover them in wrap

Yep, haven't been on the forums in a long time. Still have my Rat and love it though. I was in the talks a while back with a friend who's business does vehicle wraps, to have designs made for scoots. He's been so busy that he doesn't have time right now to work with me on them. Hopefully someday soon he will.

I realize you haven't had it on long, but do you know how they hold up over the years. Exposure to heat cold rain, etc...?

No idea but I think it will do ok.
This material is originally designed for use on golf cards & ATVs

But only time will tell

My scoots live in the garage at night & rarely see rain so I think it will last a long time on my Rattler -
