Nice

I am a bit surprised that the lighter whiter thread with no cp did not get more transuscent over that darker blank.

Everything always looks a bit different dry vs wet with no cp, sometimes for the better and sometimes disappointing.

It's a light gray over silver, it does have a translucent look to it.

Wondering
Is there a reason for two layers versus gray with silver accents other than a great looking

Awesome looking wrap!

I like the look. I could have done the gray in little trim bands but it’s just easier/faster with one wrap vs messing and trying to get a 2-3 thread trim band to work.

Ya, the tapper gives it a nice look , it’s like you like the look of something but not sure why,,, the devil is in the detail... :-)

Same thing applies to architecture...
