no, I took a piece of the print to sherwin williams and had them mix me a metal latex paint that matched pretty good, $43 a gallon. I painted the handle, hinges, frame, fenders, top curved part of trailer and tongue. Everything was too rusty/beat to wrap so i hit them with a pad sander and spray primed them. took about 4 coats of paint to get it to cover, but it was so damn hot that day that by the time i was finished with everything i would just start over again.

took me about 9.5 hours from start to end to wrap/paint, with another day of printing/lam
