Wrapping an E93 (non-m) questions

Hey guys, I've been wanting to wrap my car for a while now, I've been thinking about a "midnight blue" type of color, I want something that looks almost black, but is actually a deep navy. Not looking for metallic/reflective, ideally something matte (metallic matte would be fine). Here are just some questions I have.

1) What company should I get my vinyl from and how much should I get for the whole car (whole roof included)

2) Aside from the Vinyl, Squeegee, Heat Gun, and general cleaning supplies/tools, anything else I should I should pick up?

3) Anyone have a solid video going through the process?

I tried wrapping once. I couldn’t get the hang of it.

A fender and door came out slick, the rest was rough.
Good luck.

1) What company should I get my vinyl from and how much should I get for the whole car (whole roof included) - 59ft will do a whole car including the roof. I do believe I found the color you want too

2) Aside from the Vinyl, Squeegee, Heat Gun, and general cleaning supplies/tools, anything else I should I should pick up? - 3M makes a Line Cutting tape that works very well to assist in cutting sharp edges. You will also want Olfa Blades, a soft glove that can take a bit of heat, and patience

3) Anyone have a solid video going through the process? - This Video isnt bad. He knows what hes doing for sure.
