Can you wrap over Primer?

[@almirtorres7403]

00:51 🚗 Primered surfaces can cause adhesion issues: Primed bumpers can develop primer dust in deep recessed areas, making the surface less adhesive. 03:01 🧼 Use a 50/50 overlap for better adhesion: Overlapping the wrap material by 50/50 helps improve adhesion, making it stick better, especially in areas where primer dust is present. 04:39 🧽 Surface preparation is crucial: Washing, using wax and grease remover, and clay barring the bumper surface can raise surface energy and improve wrap adhesion. 05:20 🛠 Warranty concerns: Wrapping over non-OEM paint or primered surfaces may void warranties, so it's essential to use proper techniques to ensure customer satisfaction. 00:02 📺 Educational content: The video provides useful tips and tricks for those wrapping bumpers, emphasizing the importance of surface preparation for a successful wrap job.

Thank you for this, love the break down!!!

You have to much time on your hands sir😮😅

[@Suttunen]

Literally the title of this video was my question that i googled and the video itself answered exactly to my question, so thank you!

[@djbarnes8747]

Same!!!!

[@robertanderson9179]

I use laundry soap for all of my degreasing needs. It works great and I have never had any issues! Great vid!

[@jensimler8864]

Hello, I’m in the Primer Dust situation and appreciate your advice. Your post is older and I hope you have found better solutions to share? My car in epoxy primer and then urethane primer. I’ve wet sanded to 800 and cleaned with Dawn soap and 50/50 mix of isopropyl alcohol and water. Unfortunately still dust when I pull up vinyl like you did. Sticks good but worried when Wrap Installer has to reposition and then lose adhesion. Appreciate any new advice, thanks for your time.

[@andrewtanner5303]

When painting premiered parts we would use a red/grey scuff pad to give it some texture so the paint would bite . I would imagine if you used a grey fine pad and cleaned it properly it would get rid of that grey dust that comes off

[@maclobster9298]

Easy not to get primer dust if you properly sand and clay the primed piece before doing this.

[@Bunny-cl3iw]

Can you go more in depth?

[@ryanmceachern6950]

Dope video and great tips! What do you do to minimize rock chips in front bumpers before wrapping on slightly older vehicles?

[@lf3566]

Wet sanding all primer parts will get rid of uneven surface and dust that primer leaves behind then clean with soap and water.

[@squrilebrain]

thank you for answering my qu about primer paint.

[@PrecisionWrapsGraphics]

Your very welcome glad we can help! Thank for the support

[@Adam-wo9ct]

sounds like you just justv rattle cansome rustoleum and 2x clear on your primer panels just to have a good mating surfaces, should be cheap enough and can look like shit because hey, you're wrapping it

[@landenoneil2002]

I actually tried that and took it to get it wrapped, but I think you need to wait like 30 days for the paint to cure b4 wrapping cuz the clear coat started to lift as soon as he put alcohol on it.

[@Patrick94GSR]

@@landenoneil2002 did you use an actual 2K clear coat product, with the separate activator that you puncture with the red button on the bottom of the can?

[@osvaldo8393]

Just finish sanding the bumper with atleast 3000 grit DA with an interface pad, wipe down with adhesive remover, and wax and grease remover

[@PrecisionWrapsGraphics]

Thats a really good idea, the 3k will almost act like more of a polish than a cut.

[@itsreamo]

Dry or wet sand with 3k?

[@1Dirtychrome]

be careful out there my brother-in-law got hooked on primer dust!

[@PrecisionWrapsGraphics]

🤣🤣

[@eddalires2587]

Tack is commonly use to lift debris off surfaces before applying paint should work

[@americannostalgiagarage]

Great explanation and demonstration. I’ll be throwing some paint on my car before wrapping it. Thank you.

[@PrecisionWrapsGraphics]

Happily to help! Thank you for the feedback 👌

[@350Zquicksilver]

Great example of vinyl to primed paint! Off topic, better to wrap a bumber ON or OFF a vehicle? I'm considering taking mine off for convenience, but worried about it flexing and moving while applying the wrap.

[@Shankower]

I'm no pro by any means but after having wrapped my bike a few times, hard pieces like the gas tank are way easier while mounted on the bike. This comment is pretty old but maybe it will help someone else idk lol

[@mohamedshabeen445]

I guess polishing is a good idea. 👍🏼

[@nhiavang3299]

How about a quick sand b4 wrap?

[@PrecisionWrapsGraphics]

Yes you can sand with anything higher than 500 grit and you should be fine

[@danielle1742]

When do you use the underwater wrap

[@DavidHernandez-nq5ut]

I have a unprime black bumper and wrap keeps peeling off , what can I apply

[@PrecisionWrapsGraphics]

Do something called flame treating over the entire bumper

[@CHB_98]

what did you do ? did you try to sand and prime then clear ?

[@Sinister_187]

What if shows a lil bondo would it still stick even doe surface flat ???? Just askin for advice

[@DanielRamirez-lf5oz]

Maybe try a tack cloth 👍🏼 good luck!

[@PrecisionWrapsGraphics]

Have to give that a try!!

[@SmashedAtom85]

Have you tried clay bar or detergents to remove primer dust before wrap?

[@PrecisionWrapsGraphics]

We have clay bar may help, but it is negligible

[@fuegokicks_2095]

ratio L Shop

[@overlandMark]

What about asking the painter to do a finish coat with epoxy primer/sealer? Another idea is scotch brite it with a grey pad which is 800 grit..

[@PrecisionWrapsGraphics]

So it was finished out in 800grit, I haven’t thought about the sealer 🤔

[@LordFrostyOnPc]

@@PrecisionWrapsGraphics Wet sand it with 2000-2500grit and then claybar with white, it will remove all the dust and stick perfectly!

[@CHB_98]

just clear coat it then it will stick wow not so hard lmao

[@gearhead6424]

Try acetone for a final wipe

[@PrecisionWrapsGraphics]

I will definitely try that! Thanks

[@SgMarley4]

Acetone will ruin the primer 😂

[@eddalires2587]

Did you use a tck cloth

[@christophergiardina9453]

You got a update on what works the best a year later?

[@officialtjtrev8910]

If i take my car to get wrapped. Do they charge more if i wanna get a wrap on a unpainted part instead of a pre painted part

[@thegunshow9112]

Just watched ur video man. I have a question. Would “painting” over the primer help? What about clear coating over the primer? I have a bare polyurethane lip that. I have to wrap and am trying to figure out how i should prep it.

[@jksleepers3440]

You should have no issues wrapping over bare polyurethane. Just make sure you degrease it by washing it with some dawn dish soap and give any rough areas a wet sand with some 2000 grit to smooth out the surface.

[@jerrycarballo787]

Beautiful. This is what I was looking for. What to do with a bare lip. Thanks

[@lanehm]

Tack rag helps

[@jasonblancett3002]

2000-3000; grit sandpaper?

[@PrecisionWrapsGraphics]

The smooth the better it will adhere, we try to stay between 600-1000

[@amytu2865]

Guys help me out so if I bondo my car for a little dent should I add some primer or just wrap over the bondo ?!?!?!

[@PrecisionWrapsGraphics]

Definitely 2k prime then sand, and wrap.

[@MM203_]

Hey man when it comes to textured plastic (2017 Jeep grand Cherokee limited exterior) , after sanding what would be the best way to bond 3m 1080 ? Should I use 94 or should I used adhesion promoter, paint & wrap ?

[@ashsun5103]

Can I do sanding before vinyl wrap?

[@PrecisionWrapsGraphics]

Yes you can, try not to go any lower than 500 grit.

[@ashsun5103]

Thank you!

[@offtharadarrlowkey5781]

so it is possible but its basically temperary

[@PrecisionWrapsGraphics]

All wraps are temporary, but if installed correctly on Primer it can last as long as if it were on paint.

[@maclobster9298]

All wrap is temporary

[@offtharadarrlowkey5781]

Mac Lobster no shit

[@55Mrcry]

Please invest in a wireless mic, hard to hear ya and the size of the room you were in your voice was booming around...

[@PrecisionWrapsGraphics]

Thanks, is an old video we’ve upgraded since then.

[@andrewmanasra2166]

Gets more tacky after the first time you peel it off. The solution: wrap it twice😂

[@quentinnewtonii2107]

😂😂😂😂

[@scrapenbass493]

Its primer

[@cdubya586]

Get a wireless mic.

[@PrecisionWrapsGraphics]

Didn’t exist then 🤣

[@carlohiomile]

Very very poor sound

[@mattdunfee107]

proper prep..wet sand..and acetone..then you wouldn't need a video

[@PrecisionWrapsGraphics]

Yeah not true we’ve tried that as well, it’s not prep for paint
