5D GLOSS CARBON FIBER WRAP HOOD VINYL WRAP | LEXUS RCF WRAP

[@fatboy6134]

Thanks to you and your videos, I got the balls to wrap my car. Took me like 3 weeks to do it lol, but still I'm proud of it. Really appreciate how in-depth you go in your videos.

[@twicepast7]

Got any pics?

[@fatboy6134]

I'll upload a video soon. I did it in Vvivid attack grey

[@fireblade3655]

you never uploaded the video

[@leog4109]

What size of rolls did you use and how many rolls?

[@TheLeodraguia]

i already saw many people wrapping cars but you are the best i am addicted to your videos trying to lear has much i can with you...you are the best well done and thank you

[@alexthibault1]

Glad to see that you take pride in what you do. Not many do. You’re definitely one of the best out there and definitely #1 on KZbin for DIY. We all thank you for all your hard work and dedication. Good luck!

[@brettwells848]

Hi Chris, from New Zealand here. I have watched lots of your videos and have got lots of information. I have started wrapping my old 1996 Celica, my first wrap with VVivid Navy Blue gloss. Have made a few mistakes but have managed to fix them and am happy how it's going for a first wrap. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise. Great work, keep it going!

[@paulainsworth3895]

I really enjoy watching your videos,very informative and seeing the end results are awesome!

[@arosemenaa]

Thank you for doing these videos! I've been watching for a few months now, and it's made my wrapping experience allot easier!

[@LurkMoar101]

You're right about it being a hard beginner vinyl due to the thickness, took me three tries to do a hood in similar carbon fibre (5D no name brand) with a respectable finish.

[@funkycowie]

That looks nice, I have done 'Gloss' before by using 3M matt gloss and a thin clear wrap over the top it worked quite well.

[@aussieflyer70]

G'Day from Downunder, (Bendigo, Australia), love your videos mate, great work!!! Hopefully when it comes time for me to do some wrap on my car i wont have too many issues, but im a big fan of your work and enjoy the vids....cheers

[@robertouimet3027]

As you know, in a lot of car product, designers and professionals put their signature on their work. So don’t know if you do it? Personally I love your logo CKwraps. I think you should have your signature put on each car you do, could be on the lower part of the back side window. A discreet size, I think it would give your work the final touch! All artist sign their work. I think you deserve that privilege. Thanks for sharing again. 👍

[@dennisbergman8415]

robert ouimet for sure I definitely agree!

[@robertouimet3027]

porschetr Do you have the name of your Dealership on your car? You, where you purchased it?

[@robertouimet3027]

Zac Crow Ha! Ha! Yes a discount, maybe for you. I surely would not mind paying good money for a Pro to wrap my car and people to know who done it!! And professional do have class, they don’t put billboards on cars 😉 Get it?... probably not

[@firefoxrainbow]

Yeah man I want the people that shave my dog to razor blade their name into the hair around their asshole.

[@z_855turboR]

@porschetr You are kidding right? No creativity or design? You talk like he just installed an oil filter This is art.

[@gk9417]

Question would you put gloss black carbon fibre on a darker grey truck hood ✌️🇨🇦thanks

[@FernandWolf]

tks for the videos the film you used on this car is not available anylonger, donyou have any other film that can be comparable? I have a M4 and i am trying to match the real CF from my roof on my hood tks

[@billwilson6096]

Mesmerized from beginning to end.

[@aussieflyer70]

That looks insane

[@onestopmodshop6926]

Hey bro just for a camera tip, place your palm behind the object you want focused on so that it can focus on that distance not the distance/object further away

[@ritchmirandao7187]

Awesome job, thanks man

[@brian8431]

So now when you're done with the hood can the customer either go and get a clear coat sprayed on it to protect it? Or would a ceramic coating be something that could be done to protect the film?

[@justintime1579]

Just so you know theres oil that sprays out of that compressor gun with the compressed air.

[@cf5899]

@ck wraps I saw air bubbles towards the end but they're tiny, do those go away with the sun?

[@wrap_kevin]

If there is a small rock chip on the hood, would it be very visible? Wondering since the carbon fiber is pretty dark.

[@joshsillsby4229]

Kevin Kim that film is thick enough it will hide them, some vinyls are very thin and will conform into the chip and it doesn’t matter how dark it is they will still be partly visible.

[@wrap_kevin]

Josh Sillsby thank you for that answer! Now I can try to wrap my hood. :)

[@LurkMoar101]

I had what I thought was a small pin dent in my hood, but this film actually exaggerated it when finished. Couldnt really see it when it was the silver paint, quite noticable with the wrap. Cant hurt to try it though.

[@wrap_kevin]

LurkMoar101 yeah I guess it won’t hurt to try. Will be a good practice for me anyway. Thank you for letting me know :)

[@lexmichael2040]

Help Bossman, My honda accord 2018 has a lot of recess area can you give me some input how to wrap those with my carbon fiber like wrap? or do I have to just switch my wrap to a glossy black?

[@canadianloon6433]

Great work

[@andysgaragetherapy]

Christian that looks epic! Amazing work, how long does it typically last? I’d love to do this for my roof! Enjoy your vacation, well deserved. Seems like you’ve been talking about taking it for months! Enjoy 😊

[@thecrimsonlionspecialtyfoo2146]

So, your recommended Vvivid Shield Guard is no longer available.. Any other suggestions for that application?

[@fatboy6134]

Also do you seal the edges with 3m tape? Do you recommend it at all?

[@at19224]

When are you gonna release your own vinyl?

[@brian8431]

I also wanted to ask is this the best most authentic looking carbon fiber that's on the market right now? Or is there anything better?

[@idontlikecops1]

Is this still currently the glossiest carbon fiber wrap? Or is there something better?

[@Vietnammoiqua]

I love this video, and I made the decision to wrap my rc350 like you, but could I have a question, what size of Wrapping material you order to fit with this hood? Please, and I really appreciate your awesome video.

[@ELCANGRI13204]

Really need help I wanna wrap my 2016 Mercedes Benz 450 gle AMG but I wanna wrap the front and rear bottom lip that's painted silver how much measurment wise would I need to wrap them also mite wanna do rear spoiler and mirrors. please reply thank u really love ya video

Christian....love your white shirt w/ the gold logo on the back. Since you're out of merch, can I have yours ? Ü

[@dashhoundcompound]

Tried the same hood with 3m 1080 carbon fiber . Looked great till i got to the front edges . Stretched and distorted the pattern . Is it possible with the 1080 film??

[@serjtheviltwin1034]

hi, I'm about to do the same thing with my car but I've heard that is fading in time, how is looking after a few months? thanks

[@hillbarry580]

I Have been told that black wrap (carbon fiber) can damage the paint on my BMW exterior roof. Can heat affect the original paint?

[@canadianwrapguy9353]

Will that film not let you to take squeegee marks out of the finish with a torch? Is that the main reason for leaving the cap on?

[@ahxse4511]

Were are you located?

[@BuicksnLiberty]

In the video where you're wrapping interior pieces of a Tesla model 3 in carbon, you mentioned that it was an interior only vinyl. But the links in the two videos both send you to this one. Was the link just messed up or can it be used on both?

[@CKWraps]

One is called epoxy carbon fiber (interior only) the other is tech art carbon fiber (interior or exterior). The epoxy looks a little nicer but can't be used for exterior

[@BuicksnLiberty]

@@CKWraps gotcha, thanks for the quick response.

[@mally_mal820]

Looks great. Off subject question for you. I've been watching a lot if your videos and have decided to wrap my motorcycle fairings. They are coming out great. While in the process, I had an idea of wrapping the frame to my 06 gsxr 1000. The frame gets very hot to the touch when bikes is running, do you think the wrap will be affected by this heat? I'm worried that it would peal back up from the heat.

[@z_855turboR]

Hello Great work as always, just a question..isn't it harder wrapping with the protective film, because it doesn't stretch the same as vinyl? And it's actually thicker all together to work with?

[@jershaus]

Do they make a black chrome?

[@COACHADAMT]

Would you have left the protective cover on if the hood wasn't so hot?

[@karlpoglitsch1087]

How long should someone expect that to last? Couple years on horizontal surfaces like a hood/roof?

[@aussieflyer70]

Hey mate i just watched the video where you was explaining your actions etc to others, you know something, screw what they think, who cares who you teach, i for one am thankful for you doing what you are doing, your work is amazing and i enjoy watching the videos, you are the real deal and to hell with what the others think. As for the f*ck knuckles in Miami well all i can say is the majority of americans think they are 10 foot tall and bullet proof when they have a firearm to do the arguing for them, here in Aus mate if someone slags you off you give them a tap under the ear to shut them up then kick back and have a beer or 2 with them....lol. Most importantly you shouldnt have to explain yourself to anyone when it comes to your family, family is number 1 never forget that. As for your dad i dont know the outcome of his health as the video where you mentioned his ill health was some time ago, if he is still around i hope you are making the best of life with him, if he has passed im sincerely sorry for your loss and i hope you made great memories with him, so please keep doing the awesome job and dont let the f*cktards try to run you down......cheers.

When do you remove the clear protective top layer? I didn’t see it on the video. Thanks!

[@Jdm_fl5]

I find with tack reducer the air gets stuck more 🤔i noticed u said it comes out easier. What gives?

[@dennisbergman8415]

hey question....say you get a vehicle in you've never done, how do you go about measuring it to figure out how much wrap you'll need all together?

[@sharkeyshark4410]

Dennis Bergman what I would do.... is measure the vehicles length from rear to front then multiply by 2. Next measure the hood side to side and front to back (you want the thinnest side, below 60") and then the roof, then the trunk/tailgate. From there, measure the width of the vehicle and top to bottom of both bumpers (front and rear). Most vinyl rolls come in 60" width at max. It should be pretty straight forward

[@dennisbergman8415]

dirty sierra awesome thank you! I'm gonna try wrapping my truck and was kinda curious about that aspect.

[@CKWraps]

It's important to normally buy 5x75 feet which is the full roll. You'll not only get a better price per foot but you'll also have room for error

[@seanbrittain4542]

Good job!

[@Lg1969]

Where are you located at? My son is into this wouldn't mind if he could go to your course... But do notice you don't answer any of these question in the comments so I assume we have to pay which is understandable just let us know what link we can pick your brain for expert help.. Thanks

There are a lot of questions to answer here. I'm located in Canada. I have a website www.ckwraps.com where I answer all wrap installation questions on the open forum discussion area. You can also include pictures of what your wrapping or struggling with and I can help you out there by explaining and drawing out how I would do it.

[@denverpurgepaintball7147]

i tried a carbon fiber wrap on my hood...lets just say it didnt work i think when we layed it originally on the hood is where we got alot of air in the middle and it left marks where it creased plus it was cold. i am gonna try matte black on a warmer day thanks 2 your videos i feel like i got this got all my tools and im gonna kill it thank you for your video ckwraps!

[@jollyrodger1537]

I was thinking of doing my.F150 in CF but putting a seam straight down the middle so I could lay the pattern so the lines go back at a 45 on each side, Is that super difficult? I guess if the lines don't match up well I could add a solid stripe down the center.. let me know what you guys think.

do you know why vivid doesn't do a carbon vinyle like Epoxy Carbon but for outdoor. Tech Art looks faded a little bit.

I applied this exact material to the (plastic) side sills of my car, and when trying to remove it, it left a nasty sticky residue behind, in addition to peeling off the black finish of the plastic in some areas. Quite disappointing.
