[@AllenCars]

We are here to help and make your wrap experience great

[@sjgoff]

Another tip which I see way too many people miss is - any time you have to make a seam (like on a bumper) make sure the edge of the seam is pointing away from your eye. The edge of the vinyl should point down or inwards AWAY from the viewing angle. On multi-piece situations like bumpers - Inlays are done first so the vinyl can wrap over them and point away from your eye or if you need to do a seam at a body line, wrap from bottom to top so the edge of the vinyl is always pointing down. Makes a HUGE difference in the final product.

[@AllenCars]

Wow great insight. I will definitely create another video like this and add that to it. www.allencars.net

[@Alpiner33]

If you wrap the sides with the arrows going one direrection what way do you face the arrows on the hood , roof , trunk ? All towards trunk ?

[@mjenx86]

Was going to ask the same question

[@aaronferguson9328]

easy, well not exactly but for example, You do Driver side with arrows facing the front, you can continue the circle up over the hood and run it left or right. This way is not so drastic of a change for both fenders.

[@eddiejones8004]

Yes all the other panel should face towards the back if you started like he did

[@AllenCars]

well the hood and some trunks wouldnt work going to the back. they need to have the arrows left to right because the hoods Mainly are wider than the vinyl roll. www.allencar.net

inlay, You cant reasonably stretch the vinyl to get full coverage without risk of failure, so you look at the bumper in flat sections following body lines. This makes that impossible looking bumper very possible.

[@MatteBlk300C5.7]

I will be making a video of the Down side to wrapping cars in a couple weeks

[@aaronferguson9328]

The down sides to wrap, its not permanent . Many forget that the 3k wrap job only will last 5 years and 2 years on hood/roof

[@louisxiiii]

Something doesn't make sense with #1. If you wrap front to back down the first side, then across the back and back to front on the other side, what do you do on the hood and trunk? Either way, you will have a big mismatch between the hood and trunk and one side of the car or the other. Wouldn't you do the bumpers bottom to top in the front and top to bottom in the back?

hood roof anmd trunk is on a different plane
