Im wrapping my first car tomorrow which is my own car and I hope I can pull it off... this is something I really want to learn

[@iAmJxrry]

A little update I wrapped my hood only and came out good!

[@iAmJxrry]

Another update, I got my first 3 clients to wrap their hoods and roof. Nothing big just starting off small! 😁🙏🏽

[@HW-75]

Do you have any videos on how to wrap tubing like a bicycle frame? Thanks

[@20tea]

Look into using knifeless tape. Always try to overlap your seams to prevent better adhesion and reduce the wrap from pulling back.

[@migratorygame7400]

Awesome video!

[@Psychotoys]

You have not done a video for posting heating for temperatures. What is post heating? Am I heating the surface or the vinyl?

[@christianillidi4931]

Post heating is heating the vinyl after you installed it in stressed or recessed areas to "kill" the vinyl. Each vinyl has its own temp, so check that before you post heat.

[@navfrancis4516]

PsychoToys he has a detailed video on this on ckwraps.com

[@tgxperience]

CK. I am able to remove the lifting in that V like you show and it looks great afterward, but the following day, it is back to the same problem. I have tried post heating but it still doesn't seem to stay. Do think I am not getting it hot enough on post heat?

[@tgxperience]

CK, I wanted to update this. I tried using a laser thermometer on my post heating of the V to ensure I was reaching 170+. It seems to have worked. No more lifting in the V last I checked and your method for 'fixing' the V works well, just make sure if you are reading this to put plenty of heat in it. Also I noticed my cheapo vinyl gets tacky when it's hot so I have to let it cool a bit before pressing it down into the V.

[@carlosfonseca9803]

Good Morning I love your videos I really like your work, I've been working in this area for 20 years and I still can't be calm and do a job like that, but here in Portugal nobody wants to pay for a good vinyl thank you

[@tamus101]

Surely most problems due to adhesive separating is due to an incorrect post heating process? Obviously some cases can be down to purely poor manufacture of the vinyl, but most of the time will be down to over heating while post heating?

[@rdias2]

Ive had a problem where I tuck the vinyl in heat it after to the right degree and a few days later the ends start to lift again what could it be.... using hexis vinyl aswell.. wrapping over straight panels is great but anything that bends or corners is horrible

Would you be able to cover how to wrap vented hoods? getting into the vents i found very difficult

[@nighrow5]

This

[@codyfranklin9594]

I would lay over the hood vent, but kinda form a slight air bubble above the vents on your hood, then I’d cut slits between each vented part and add heat, then smooth out by hand or what you got

[@jordangomez4870]

Is there a way tell if the vinyl has good adhesive? I just purchased the VVivid high gloss carbon fiber you used in the Tesla interior, and it wont stick to crap! The backing is barely hanging on to the vinyl! Not to mention the tape that was holding the roll had yellowed. I ordered from amazon, should I have ordered directly through Vvivid?

[@Rover200Power]

They have a shelf life before the adhesive stops being so effective.

[@StavangerTricking]

Number one reason your wrap failed - you did it yourself xD

[@TruckingTransparency]

Hey I have a question..I recently got my car wrapped & I wanna add a rear spoiler on my car ..the spoiler requires me to drill 2 small holes on the trunk lid ..would this harm the wrap?

[@20tea]

I would lay some low tack blue painters tape covering about a 3-6 inches around the area you drill and take your time (drill periodically) to allow it to not get too hot. The tape coverage will also minimize hot metal flakes from landing on your wrap.

How you gonna love my comment and leave me hanging 😭. I need that color in my life.

[@20tea]

Around the 8 minute mark with the bubbles... I'm facing the same issue even after having cleaned and post heated. My guess is it's just a high tension area (tailgate on an SUV around the license plate). After heating again and removing air, the area will lift again after about 20 minutes or so. There a way I can inject some primer 94 with a syringe into the lifted are and fix this issue or will it not tack enough to adhere to the wrap? Pretty irritating.

[@20tea]

@Bill Rupp Thanks, all what you say is true. I've redone my tailgate, but had to first lay a piece around the license plate area and trim at the contours. My second piece covered the whole tailgate where it was trimmed up to match and very slightly overlap the first piece. The result put much less stress on the wrap around the recessed plate area and it looks great for about a half year now. Have the whole car done in the Vvivid + grey forged carbon matte wrap and get positive comments on it all the time. When done right, all the hard work pays off!

[@mazendesign5183]

Thanks♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@vishnuraju2129]

I interest the work wrapstyle

[@PTSOPHOTO]

How would I be able to wrap over a rust proofed bottom side skirt? Would I have to remove the rustproofing in that area? How would I go about doing that?

[@20tea]

Clean it up very well and you could use the primer 94. Don't over apply though. I have my wrap very slightly sit over my spray bedliner edges and the primer helps adhere vinyl to it.

[@connercurzio3645]

You mention "atleast 70% isopropyl alcohol" can you use 99% or is that too much alcohol to use with vinyl?

[@benjaminuffermann]

the difference between 70 and 99 is the "aggressive"... you can use 99% too by right handling, but it maybe crack plastic and spot repair areas. 70% is more safer in right use.

[@kykypenn]

Do you use a temperature gun?

Also fails because every film has a factory prestretch so I can’t just push it in a recessed area if it’s aggressive . U need to heat the film and it will shrink then work it it. Never knew till inozetek taught me in their classes.

[@tbonecelica]

[@GTRJASON77]

Does temperature affect all films equally too during install? I have some satin militare KPMF I am waiting to use when it warms up. KPMF say to install 21c to 24 c.

[@canadianwrapguy9353]

GTR-J post heat temperature is slightly different between brands, just double check with the manufacturer for proper temps

[@20tea]

It's helps to use the film at room temperature or a bit warmer. Cold temps make it harder to stretch and could tear the vinyl. Doing it on hot days has some drawbacks too. Matte is very picky with a heat gun (glosses up) ,so heat carefully. Satin isn't as bad, but be modest when using the felt squeegee. Satin is my favorite to work with looks great!

[@maybabysammie3019]

I'm about to wrap my car and would love help in the form of what kind of wrap is best to use I want the rose gold wrap

[@Imakebootysclap]

I keep hearing in wrap videos vivid this and vivid that so Im gonna guess vivid is the best. If you are going to wrap it your self Id advise using cheap china ebay wrap until you get good at it or you will just waste money. Also Rose gold sounds like a chrome wrap which is the hardest to do. Pay a professional to do it or you will just be throwing money away, all cromes turn white when stretched or heated even slightly, its really hard to do a wrap and almost impossible for any type of chrome unless you are very experienced. Good luck

[@LikeBoost42]

I started with avery and it was actually not that bad for a first time so I can recommend this. I used satin black and did a hard mercedes grill with that!

The surface needs to be smooth for the film to stick. Bed liner has too much roughness for sure.

I have had success in small areas going over bedliner with some good heat and some primer 94 in some areas. Problem is it is very hard for wrap to adhere to the rhino liner and you may not find it worth the time.

is not necessarily a matter of heat gun temp setting (a lot of installers use simple guns with just 3 settings low/med/high or a gas blow torch ) the temperature you should be concerned is the actual film surface. for stretching you simply feel the film getting softer and for post heating 80-90 celsius (measure it with a ir gun ) i hope this will help
