dude ikr and they be charging more than double the wrap price for labor

[@casp3r_de_gh0st90]

Prices have gone insane recently, all of the old videos I’ve found say the high end wraps used to go for around $2500, like on what planet?!? I’ve gotten two quotes for a solid color wrap, $3750 and $4500. And it’s on a sedan!

Hey guys I have 1988 Y61 nissan patrol. Is anyone know how much vinyl wrap I need for this size of car?

[@sicks6six]

Good video, I've just wrapped some car parts for the first time, my tip is this, don't try to get it perfect first time, you can heat and reheat forever to take ripples and blisters out, make sure no dust is on the surface as IT WILL look shite when finished, start off on a simple part to get the hang of it, a square shape maybe and keep the multi angled odd shaped things like door mirrors to last, the centre console will have some good areas to start you off. I did the internal door handles from a Citroën C3, and they were not easy but after 30 minutes both were looking like they just come out of the Citroën factory, buy more wrap than you need as it's very wasteful wrapping small items, I didn't have a heat gun, so I used a very small hot air heater, on the hottest setting it did the job well, suppose a hair-dryer would also do the job,

[@cheriiko6006]

Thanks!

[@bennyd47]

Yep, keeping it clean should be priority number one. everything else can be fixed, but if you start with a less-than-spotless car and greasy hands trying to wrap inside a dusty barn, you’re not gonna be happy with the results 😂

Get it clean, keep it clean. Clean your garage floor, clean your hands, clean your tools, change your clothes to something that’s snug fitting and not going to leave lint or pet hairs all over.

Hey quick question to anyone who has a wrap company… do you guys fix imperfections in a car or can you, if you do does it increase the price, for my case I don’t care about the paint but it’s just pealing I don’t want it that to show do you guys also sand it down?

[@ethanhaessig5840]

Typically wrap shops will outsource to get imperfections fixed if requested but it definitely does depend on who/what shop you go to. Your best bet is to call around and see what the wrap shops around you say about it. You will definitely end up paying more either way to get it fixed though.

[@bamdragon25]

Six-inch wide tyres like they use on a golf truck on the rear, only inflated to 5 LB to give good suspension, and gleaming stainless steel rims. gleaming Moto bike wheels on the front. The spray job it is, prismatic universe. LED strobe lights on the rear plus spiral indicators. With LED headlights. It does 10 mile an hour. And the manoeuvrability, and precision steering after Reprogramming it, is insane. it has Anderson connection so I can use it to jumpstart cars, or run devices. It has special armrest that fold round, with Velcro attached to them so I can place the remote control, my mobileephone et cetera on them. Coin dispensers. USB connection to charge my phone. Little skull with red reflective eyes on the joystick. Backrest reclines. it will do wheelies and it regularly beats cars at the traffic lights over the 1st 10 feet LOL :p

Pre-stretch the center as far as possible w/heat, and push the part into the “cave” you made in the wrap. Use heat again to get the film to “pull in” behind the part, then leave enough film behind to adhere so it doesn’t peel away.
