One of the best quick how to videos I've seen on here. Usually the videos are way too long, or they are literally not at all what the subject of the video says they are, and a complete waste of time trying to watch. Thank you for making this video, it's made me feel more comfortable in preparation to try to wrap the hood of my car.

[@Graphics_Card]

most of them are 40 minutes long lol

[@vivaanavery3571]

i dont mean to be so offtopic but does anyone know of a trick to log back into an instagram account..? I stupidly lost my login password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me!

[@kasengabriel2588]

@Vivaan Avery instablaster :)

[@vivaanavery3571]

@Kasen Gabriel i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and im in the hacking process now. I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@vivaanavery3571]

@Kasen Gabriel DAMN IT ACTUALLY WORKED :O Literally got access to my instagram password within about 30 minutes by using the site. Had to pay 15$ but definitely worth the money =) Thanks so much, you really help me out!

[@Edgargns]

Saved 2K and wrapped my hood.! Now ima do the rest with confidence.! 2k is the whole car wrapped btw.

[@ltpinecone]

Always thought learning to vinyl wrap would be cool, this is the only useful video I have found that is straight to the point an simple. Thanks!

[@thetoadprince7867]

The only video on KZbin that’s quick, to the point, and very informative. Can’t wait to start my project.

[@CC-hn8yn]

You all did an amazing job With this video. Very thorough but straight to the point.

[@extremepoweraddicts2978]

Been watching many different videos from different KZbin channels... This so far has been the most straight forward video... Many others including ck wraps just dont have the true teaching talent. You know what your going to say and keep it simple... Great video.

[@santituazon4223]

Short and sweet! No extra BS at all! 👍👍

[@MAR-gq9wt]

Ok, this is the best way to put on wrap on the hood out of all other videos in youtube out there. Thanks.

[@chrisrocz1603]

I've watched a lot of videos on this...this was simple and had a lot of good detail tips. Thanks!

[@ephaimortiz6996]

Nice video,direct to the point. Worth the 7 mins

[@magin2014]

Excellent video straight to the point, great job

[@AngelHernandez-bo5yb]

Straight to the point love it!

[@Joy_killpaw..]

Wow amazing work you guys did great !!! Cant wait to try it myself

[@davidlard8490]

A very good video on wrapping a hood. I shall study this and try to remember all I have seen. Thanks again, guys.

[@ColorChangeCustoms]

Great vid guys! Good production, clear instruction, and to the point. Nice job!

[@ThreenaddiesRexMegistus]

Nothing but happen! Excellent video and I got more out of this than most of the others. 👍🏻

[@tier1detailcompany]

Really great video! I would advise steering your clients towards satin black instead of matte black. It's much easier to maintain and clean. It's also a deeper black with a nice sheen that will maintain the appearance of the car's body lines 🤙

[@adamtarquini9400]

Love the content!

[@rocwellmedia]

Nicely done fellas I really appreciate this video

[@avromukherjee5463]

Amazing video. I want to DIY my tesla model 3 hood soon. This video is going to help me so much. Thanks guys. You’re amazing.

[@Beyondthe4wallsNet]

Good job! I appreciate the detail in your video.

[@mr.texahoan]

Thanks for the video. It was super informative

[@CarlosPlayhouse]

[@jasonnester9514]

U guys make it look so easy haha I’m struggling so bad

[@FredisZam]

I m going to try it thanks for the video

[@stuberty30]

What wrap did you use? What make? Any from this manufacturer to avoid?

[@Music_pluggg]

You make this look so easy. Lol. I am about to wrap my ram diesel truck. Hope it goes just like your video.

[@roydeleon7936]

I have that same Porter heat gun. What temp do you set yours at for that last part of the process?

[@laylalady226]

Damn!! Made me feel prepped 2 go & do my own!! Thx u 🎉

[@hannahmasterson2701]

Outstanding. Thank you.

[@markday6524]

you guys are the BEST, Chicago auto PROS.

[@Dnasty1]

What do you guys use to keep the hood and trunk propped up a bit while you wrapor do you wrap these things while they are closed? Also how long do you recommend letting it sit before getting it washed etc?

[@dericscott4577]

Good Job! ‘Liked” it 👍😏

[@amc6393]

Perfecto 👌🏽 gracias

[@valyatimtsenko]

Great video thank you

[@roxanneiamawake4311]

Best video on how to do this on you tube thank you!! Ima save myself the money and wrap my hood the clear coat is coming off the middle of my hood man and I’m not paying over 1,000 is the quotes for my hood nah ima do it myself thank you sir!!!!🎉❤

[@kallamcollins8856]

Did you end up doing it? The clear coat is coming off my hood too and I'm also considering wrapping it. But wondering if the surface imperfections will show through the wrap..

[@Marquel_Lucas]

Thank you bro for this

[@eugenesaville226]

I have a new 2022 ford bronco and live in Puerto Rico, the sun is blistering . What product would you recommend I wrap my hood with that is the most UV resistant and not damaging to the factory paint.

[@Charlotte071]

Great job

[@viktorperalta3090]

Hellon. At what temperature you use the heat gun

[@martinhawrylkiewicz2025]

Nice vid! Just wondering if you can still install a vinyl wrap if the hood has some very tiny paint chips..

[@Moodythenice]

Good job ...thanks for the good info can you advice wrap a hood with alot if air spots chipping ..would it look at least 75% good I amnot askingfor pefect .. Thank you

[@karlrichards1611]

I want to wrap my hood roof and trunk on 2017 Civic Coupe. It's black but want those 3 peices satin white chameleon. How wide wad your roll (5ft)? You made that look so easy which I'm sure it's not. Do you recommend a cleaning solution to wash before install or just soap n water then rinse and dry? Last question if tiny bubbles don't come out can you poke then with a small pin to get air out? Thanks Will be my first time trying to wrap. Great video thanks

[@johnnyo5237]

Hey guys. John here. Fantastic video! Question: I have a 2021 Toyota C-HR. The color is Bronze Oxide. I have been thinking about wrapping only my hood on this car. If you had to choose, what color wrap do you think would look good with the Bronze Oxide of the car?

[@wesleywebb1058]

Why don't you use the spray on the hood and Squeegee the spray out or is that not recommended? I've never done a hood but I've done several signs and I used the spray, just curious

[@Mr.ZachBach]

Do you want to heat the whole hood afterwards to get the vinyl glue to stick better or just the edges?

[@KALINBICZOLONGTON]

I plan to wrap my wife's hood soon. The clear coat is somewhat flakey and I want the wrap to come out nice. Do I need to sand the clear coat completely off?

[@MissionOffRoad]

For old cars with window washer nozzles, do you need to remove it before the wrap?

[@BFELLY]

Hell yeah I wanna do this

[@BrotherWatsonofWattsWatsonProd]

What was the length of time from start to finish. The holds for the windshield fluid that hits the front window. How do you cut that? How long with the wrap last.

[@dwrod24]

Appreciate it this brother

[@brentonzimmermann9439]

Will it still stick if there is a little rust on the lip under the hood

[@yezkaholic]

Is it detrimental to clamber? My vehicles is pretty new, no scuffs or dents can I get away with just a nice wash of the hood?

[@babychuma1]

21 here, I have a ultra white Toyota, any opinions on if I should do hood flat black or white? It's a '10 matrix s and has a big scratch I want to cover, also what should I do with the hood ornament?

[@romirjacinto6237]

nice tutorial. 👍

[@Zero_316]

Thanks brother.

[@lordzord]

awesome man thankd.

[@ReeceM69]

Dumb question. I bought some vinyl on Amazon it’s gloss black and has a thin film on the outside do I leave the film on til after I’m done wrapping?

[@motovlogs9888]

Where do you get the wrap from

[@claytonmatheny2428]

Good deal guys, thanks!

[@justforlaughs8988]

What material is good and okay to use and what material is not good like I'm looking on eBay for a carbon fiber 4 or 5 D and it looks mostly interior with a sticky back but I'm not quite sure this is going to be a first time for me

[@danl5592]

Do you have to spray the surface with water first ?

[@ChristianLopez2199]

Hi what’s size of carbon fiber is this is it 10x5 ft??

[@dannyny86]

I wanted to see the full application of the relax on the curve.

[@carterbailey5069]

The genesis bumper just vibing in the background

[@encaminoati]

Thank you. How about adding a tutorial for a two color wrap,for example a red cover with two white sporty stripes

[@davidjosephjohn8599]

Can I put vinyl flame decals on top of my vinyl hood wrap? Will it stick? I just want to add another dimension to the hood with a complimentary color flame...Thx

[@jimmybarr1966]

How long does this last? And cant it be washed without damaging it?

[@touchdownbarkley9897]

How would it cost me to donthe hood and the roof and deck lid of a Kia Optima 2013 and can I buy it from you?

[@ericritter7430]

Is it the same for a fiberglass hood ?

[@jacquec.199]

Is it possible to get a good start with laying it down on a hood if you're alone, or do you have to have another human to help? 😬 Also, I'm very short, so any tips or advice would be great as this is my first time messing with vinyl and I'm restoring a 2006 mustang... 👍

[@alexgomes8351]

Very good tutorial Bro. Thank you.

[@Judgeshred88]

So the lip that fold under slightly round the back is enough to hold its grip on the edge and not peel off?

[@user-yh7ip1yh8i]

Thanks for posting. Question, have you done a C6 corvette. The rear bumper looks tricky. Thanks buddy

[@matthewclark3799]

You guys are badass

[@thoughtfully]

This may seem like a strange question but can I just buy clear matte vinyl anywhere?

[@jasonthuot]

What’s a good vinyl wrap brand to purchase from?

[@carlingas666]

Do front fascia. I’m planing on wrapping my hood and front fascia.

[@jondrive8801]

Thanks buddy

[@askmisspatience]

Fantastic

[@jayemayyalldamnday]

I wish just one of these Hood DIY videos would say something along the lines of if you get to the last corner and you have too much material bunched up you have done this wrong because that's what happened to me the first time and I'm not sure what I did wrong because none of these videos explain what it means if I have too much material bunched up at the end

[@peterpurol7873]

Should I "glass" a 1996 Corvette hood. It has a shallow, central hood scoop.

[@jorgerios2885]

What is recommended when the hood clear is faded? Should I sand it a bit with a fine sand paper?

[@thepassionofthegoose5472]

Similar to paint. The smoother and more even the surface, the better the film will stick. On a shot hood I'd sand and primer.

[@dmurder32]

Where can I get this done in NOLA?

[@davelundergoesunder]

well done.

[@bananapatch9118]

Pros n cons for vinyl wrap vs paint job ? I live in S Carolina….I need to call around n see what a pro charges. My 2007 car has all kinds of paint off the hood. It may need to be sanded prior to vinyl install as my wife did a terrible job trying touch up paint.

[@BillClay88]

I love it. Wouldn't think there is too many options for gloss black. Well, there isn't, except matte. gray would work too. But a lot of ppl will be asking why did you forget to paint your hood. Many ppl don't like matte or even satin, it looks like primer for paint. I couldn't disagree more. Would love to matte/satin wrap a car. Wonder if roof would look good as well, I'm guessing yes.

[@reem11282]

Is the style of wrapping call dry wrapping?

[@roni_el17]

I want a red trim on my white car where should I put the trim so it don’t look goofy

[@waltercardenas7354]

Where can I can get material? good video

[@jeremiahtray5621]

What if the edges start peeling?

[@eliazar1603]

how much does it cost to have it wrapped?

[@joveesmallwood9693]

really nice! would i do it "NO" pass to you pro's. Thankx for showing your work, knowing be done right!

[@MyGuyKirby]

You made it look easy, Vinyl wrap does not require the soap solution like PPF? Curious, as a DIY project how many times would a first timer have to start all over on a typical hood? Front ends look to the the worst!

[@ScylockeX]

You're going to fail the first time... trust me. But after the first time you'll learn that stretching that bad boy first is the way to go.

[@vr30kelz]

How much would this cost to do? I want to do my q60

[@Fitguru850]

What your is average clcharge for wrrapping a hood?
