Are you applying paint before wrapping? Vinyl dosent adhere well to primer. Plus, If you paint it will need time to cure and offgas. 30-60d depending on paint type and application method.

So, a bit of an update...
- I added a yellow spring into the ewg along with the blue/black, so it's now at 17.4 psi, wgdc much lower now (found out the neat trick of blowing compressed air into the side port to compress the springs, very helpful when putting it back on!)
- I bought a new ac compressor since I found it leaking.. came with a condensor too (more food for the attic if i ever need it).. $286 on walmart! https://www.walmart.com/ip/AC-Compr...Mazda-Speed6-Mazdaspeed-6-2006-2007/681863189
- I see rust coming through my original fix of the hood, so going to go ham on it. I'm planning to get the whole top of the hood down to bare metal, treat the rust better, and do a 2k epoxy primer using a paint gun i've never used. This should go well! Afterward, i'll clean/tack it properly before attempting to vinyl wrap it again. I've been more thoroughly researching this one before buying anything, so any recommendations are welcome.
- Tune is still in progress!

Go deep and be thorough.
I think in this post 10 yrs back I was dealing with a situation much like you are and following up with a wrap.
I currently have had no issues with the repaired area since.
