FIRST TIME WRAPPER, Paradox Shows Him The Way In Real Time *No TimeLapse* | Making Of An Apprentice?

[@Victorrrr]

I first started wrapping my car in January of this year. I don't have a garage so I wrap outside. Out of everyone on youtube, your videos have been the most helpful. I am now on my 3rd car and finally got the momentum when it comes to wrapping I am now working on perfecting it. Thanks man!

[@GlobalDesignHD]

How hot is it outside when you wrap? I wanna do it too but dunno what wrap I should get.

[@Victorrrr]

@@GlobalDesignHD if I were you I would start in the summer/spring time wrap tears extremely easy in the cold and doesn’t stretch good unless warm Id wait till a sunny day and at least 60°+ (15° C+) if you wrapping outside. Also doesn’t stick as good in the cold.

[@GlobalDesignHD]

@@Victorrrr thanks bruv what wrap brand do you use? I saw 20m 3m wrap for around 900 euros..

[@Victorrrr]

@@GlobalDesignHD i have never used 3M tbh, I’ve used vvivid for all the cars Ive done and its held up extremely well I live in Okinawa japan constant sun ☀️. And it hasn’t faded and its been on for months now. VVIVID is about 300-400 for a 50ft roll when I was buying. I even wrapped my computer once I got comfortable with how the stuff works ordered some cheap Chinese no brand wrap and it worked the same just didn’t have the stretch like the vvivid. Hope this help.

DAMN! I am hooked! Back in the 80's (Yeah you heard me punks)🤣🤣🤣THE 80'S! I found myself detailing a few cars and loved the extra money and loved it so much I started doing it full time. Hey the sun the cars and the $$$ and nobody to answer to less my customers. If this was around then I am sure I would have been all in. I am super surprised to see the material being so forgiving. Anyway love your video's and I am down! Just now us old dudes need to get to bed so you are on my watch list for the lunch binge. Peace guys and God Bless

he did great. he wasnt being frustrated nor was he giving an attitude. he was willing to learn and listen well.

[@yvngsoto2603]

I was so stressed watching him make those blind cuts without using his other hand as a guide. 😳😳 This is a great video. I like that you let him do almost everything in his own. I think ppl tend to take over when teaching others. I know I do. Lol New subscriber!!

[@donaldcotnoir1865]

It's amazing how easy a professional makes it look then to see how difficult it can be by watching an amateur try it. You got the skill and great teaching skills.

[@theejoeylee]

Man hats off to this guy for having the balls to go on camera. He did great. I feel like I could try this on my 8th gen civic sedan now, this guy has given me so much confidence. Did carbon wrap my shifter trim, Speedo trim, and grill last year, and an Xbox controller, but never a whole car

[@kiankian1588]

Matt, you definitely are on the right track, couple things to remember, the nozzle of that heat gun is scorching hot, don't throw the heat gun on the seat after you've used it, you can easily damage the fabric, also, professionals have a lot of respect for the tools they use, do not throw your heat gun on the floor. There's another heads up about heat guns and rags , I almost burned my garage down once, when I put the heat gun close to a rag that had some thinner on it.

[@leonelchavarin1168]

Also the way he puts the measuring tape against the car .. smh I get it it’s gonna be wrapped but nobody wants their car scratched

[@smallladyusachan2631]

There is no way in heck that I’d even attempt to do this tedious work. I give you props for being so good at this and him for even attempting this.

I’ve barely started following couple of months and now I’m hooked too watching thank you paradox

[@danielhaynes7261]

First of all I must say, your teaching skills are amazing and the fact that you have the patience to explain the process thoroughly is a plus. For his first time, he has done a decent job and he is retaining the instructions well. Job well done bro. Keep pushing and I'm sure you will be a top wrapper one day.

[@GmUrDa83]

I wish I was able to wrap a car with you as my teacher. Your videos are so real life tutorials. I need a garage to do more practicing

[@roniangel3]

Excellent teaching through patience and helping to instill confidence in the man. Leading a horse to water so that he can drink. Not everyone can teach, but you sir, you got it. Respect to you Paradox.

[@kevinmaxwell6610]

I started working in a body shop back in 1994. I jumped out of tapping off around 1999. I haven't lost the touch and successfully wrapped my center console with silver flat carbon fiber. I will buy mid-grade viynl and attempt to do my whole car without anyone around to help. I'll bet with your tips and my similar experience by next year I'll be anodizing my 06 avalon. I will be practicing with big scraps in hard spots like my front bumper .I'll just pull and trash the viynl regardless of how good it looks. It was just to perfect my angels before I ruin my good viynl. You said in the beginning this isn't watch n learn and I agree 💯 percent 👍. Hands on and play/practice over n over to build confidence if you will be doing this alone.

[@Theyralltakenfu]

I don't think I have the patience to even try this. Hats off to anyone who gets this right.

[@Dartheomus]

Wow, this was great! Too many videos show you the right way, but don't prep you for what you are really going to experience. This was extremely useful!

[@rickygilland3435]

Your videos are helping me build up the courage to get started on my own car. I dont get alot of time to get around mine so, so far i have got the hood started. Did mess up one spot but im going to move on to the rest and at the end if i have enough left over im going to redo the hood. Thanks for the videos. The real time tutorials are awesome they give alot of insight. Thanks for the videos.

[@thomasc408]

You're the sifu! You make wrapping look so easy. Watching him do it makes me not want to think of trying.

[@neilufe]

Thank you, I practiced with Chinese pcv wrap on my Tesla and thanks to your video I got it down almost perfect. I’ve found the less stretching is more promising on longevity of the wrap because it won’t be able to peel back when parked in hot areas

[@cjowens9316]

ALOT more patience i could ever muster up for this type of thing big credit to you. but this has motivated me to finally try to wrap my gti so thanks to you as well

Your video is so helpful . I love the details real time . Often diy or tutorials have time lapse and the small little issues that arise don’t get covered cause they are lost in time lapse . I appreciate you

[@DanielSan-ch7dr]

Awesome video love the step by step realtime so an amateur wrapper how to do it and that it can be done by a newbie with some skill and guidance. Most other videos gloss over it and make it look easy cause they done it for years, you can't fake being new to wrapping like he did. Did a great job by the way and awesome colour. I was tossing up between ppf and colour wrap for my brandnew car. So I protect the paint while it's fresh

taught myself how to vinyl wrap by doing roof wraps first than eventually did my old car. that was about 3 years ago, did a friends car back in oct, and this was my first time doing overlays, spent a good 5-6 hrs planning out it since it was on a bmw m235i bumper. alot of breaks to cool down but at the end of the job, it was well worth it. also found it therapeutic vinyl wrapping

I’m sanding the areas wear clear coat peeled trying to feather in as smooth as possible but I was wondering how much is good enough. What kind of hiding power does the film have.
