They designed the vehicle to be "easy" to wrap. Meaning you don't have to remove trim or anything like that. It is still non-trivial and you would want to do it inside of a garage IMO.

Presumably that's assuming no prior experience. That seems pretty reasonable to me. I would be rather annoyed if I brought it to a professional wrapping shop and they quoted me 15 hours of labor though

In the FAQ it says you can also order it pre-wrapped.

I feel like this truck really appeals to the more moderate project car folks who want something both reliable and personal to them
