How To Vinyl Wrap Your Hood

[@Edgargns]

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

[@mikemccown2057]

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

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!

[@thetoadprince7867]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@chrisrocz1603]

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

[@CC-hn8yn]

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

[@stuberty30]

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

[@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 🤙

[@santituazon4223]

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

[@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.

[@ephaimortiz6996]

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

[@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.

[@SABRECRAFT]

should i try this on my scratched up hood

[@josemolina3858]

Sand the hood first and the prime it,you will be good afterwards

[@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... 👍

[@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?

[@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

[@davidlard8490]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@martinhawrylkiewicz2025]

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

[@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?

[@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

[@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

[@jasonnester9514]

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

[@encaminoati]

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

[@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.

[@RaulMedina-b3d]

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

[@Wwefan2406]

Do you need to reheat the entire piece of vinyl after you’re done to secure the adhesive?

[@jacquec.199]

I was wondering this as well 🤔

[@ØØØ-y1u]

No that’ll loosen the wrap up, you want it to cooldown and tight form around the hood

[@AngelHernandez-bo5yb]

Straight to the point love it!

[@carlsonthomas]

How much do paint imperfections show through to the vinyl surface? The front part of my hood has medium sized rock chips. Thank you... nice video. 😎👍🏻

[@TonyLoewen]

You’ll for sure notice them after laying film over. Best to try and fill them before wrapping.

[@NomaddUK]

@@TonyLoewen Thanks. Nobody ever tells us this. I will ensure mine are smooth now.

[@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

[@themachine8009]

How long with good care on average that would last? Could u make one with the clear bra? Chicago Auto Pros puts the best vids on you tube.

[@timmyjumbo4262]

The ViVViD wraps have a 5 year warranty

[@MULTIMEDIAKING94]

It last for a very long time. Lol I mean it’s not gonna come off once it’s on if done right. The worst happens is 1. It can get chipy if you try to take it off years later it will be hard Getting it off. 2 it can get dirty of course but you can easily buy cleaning products made especially for wraps.

[@Judgeshred88]

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

[@MrJanneVille]

What about when wrapping the hood that has stonechips. Yay or nay?

[@ptmiller98]

Clay bar it first, you can also use tiny amounts of bondo then clay bar

[@magin2014]

Excellent video straight to the point, great job

[@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.

[@peterpurol7873]

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

[@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!!!!🎉❤

[@Zizlak]

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..

[@Mr.ZachBach]

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

[@benercabario7386]

Hi...what do u call the cutter that u use...i like and i want to buy like the one ur using..pls let me know

[@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.

[@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?

[@rajvirvlogs1313]

Awesome video sir, helped a lot can you please make a video on how to wrap rear and front bumpers, which have a lot of angles

[@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

[@jackrider798]

Awesome video! I just tried to do this by myself on my hood and it looks like a ball sack now, unable to remove the creases :(

[@PokeFit3]

If your creases weren't too bad, a little lift and heat will get them out.

[@tomf4547]

Deceiving ain't it. Did mine today and the vinyl is nowhere near as stretchy

[@MissionOffRoad]

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

[@CarlosPlayhouse]

perfect bro thank you im going to try to wrap my hood this weekend wish me luck !!

[@PixelxCake]

How'd that go?

[@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?

[@roni_el17]

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

[@roydeleon7936]

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

[@StyxxxxRiver]

Looks amazing but I have a question. So I work at a body shop. I'm an autobody tech and am a combo guy. (Do body work and Paint) that being said we,ve had a few people want vinyl stickers on their cars my favorite being a 1972 I believe VW Van looked like the mystery machine but we made it a two tone Robin egg blue and white. The guy wanted a grateful dead vinyl sticker around the front 4 inch circumference VW logo so we did it and for every sticker/wrap ive done i was always taught to spray water (not alot) under the wrap because it helps the vinyl adhesion and its easier to see places where air and water may be trapped. Is that just a preference thing or is there no really benefit either way?

[@socalguy829]

modern vinyl wraps/decals with air channel release dont need any water/soap application

[@StyxxxxRiver]

@@socalguy829 roger so its a you can but don't need to ? Or probably shouldn't

[@dcarder3336]

Get patterns for the top of dashboards...flat finish to reduce/eliminate glare. Sell the kit. I'll take one for an '02 Camry, gray interior.

[@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?

[@mikestevens4980]

What is the preferred method for wrapping a hood with windshield washer nozzles? Take them out?

[@elsachi1334]

Why would someone wrap a glossy black to a matte black ?? It looks like the clear is fading... but ig if you want to waste money that's a way to do it

[@drewbienewbie03xx81]

Lmao! No.

[@ColorChangeCustoms]

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

[@manuelmiranda124]

My hood is chipping how do I take that off to make it smooth to start wrapping

[@nomeat]

So is mine lmk what you end up doing.

[@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.

[@touchdown-Nabers]

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?

[@tomf4547]

Having watched this vid 3 times I thought I'd have a go. All I can say is it looks easy, my attempt was a nightmare. There was nowhere near the stretch in my vinyl. Gave up after 90 mins.

[@NomaddUK]

Do you need to heat the entire surface afterwards to melt the glue? Can you put vinyl wrap directly on top of primer? I am about to do my van bonnet.

[@thepassionofthegoose5472]

The adhesive is activated by pressure. Yes you can wrap primer, but make sure it's smooth and even otherwise imperfections will show through.

[@alexhellick4838]

Excellent demistration! Great job...Guys!

[@jasonthuot]

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

[@Joy_killpaw..]

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

[@ThreenaddiesRexMegistus]

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

Can anyone answer my question about vinyl on vinyl decals that has done it? Thank you

Great video guys thanks I will have a go

[@Fitguru850]

What your is average clcharge for wrrapping a hood?

[@viktorperalta3090]

Hellon. At what temperature you use the heat gun

[@sergiorodriguez1107]

I am buying a used truck tool box, would it be worth vinyl wrapping vs. spray painting it?

[@thepassionofthegoose5472]

Paint.

[@waltercardenas7354]

Where can I can get material? good video

[@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?

[@ZCFHUAfhnvjf]

Do you clay bar and then spray the diluted alcohol and then wipe it down right before applying vinyl wrap?

[@thepassionofthegoose5472]

Use undiluted 70% IPA (already 30% water) just before install. Tack cloth isn't a bad idea either. Clay during the washing process, which is a must. Prep can't be overstated, especially if you want the install to last.

[@mike91mmm]

Is it designed to stick to clear? What if we applied the wrap to a sanded hood (no clear coat )

[@ChicagoAutoPros]

It would work, but those sanding marks may show through the film.

[@jeremiahtray5621]

What if the edges start peeling?

[@brentonzimmermann9439]

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

[@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.

[@laylalady226]

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

[@motovlogs9888]

Where do you get the wrap from

[@danl5592]

Do you have to spray the surface with water first ?

i’ve got a 2016 dodge challenger sxt (yeah i know it’s a v6 i’m depressed about it whatever) what size vinyl should i buy to have that extra room for my hood & trunk

[@keatonhubbard8784]

jade marie if you haven’t bought it yet just measure your hood and give yourself about a foot extra on each side

[@pushhrodd01]

jade marie Before doing that get a V8 challenger

[@great4ever845]

😂 nothing to be depress about just got an ls camaro but for sure gota get v8 next time

[@Frostblxde]

@@pushhrodd01 yeah that way my cadillac ats 2.0T can smoke it. LOL. And its bigger brother ATS V eats hell cats, corvettes 07 and lambos for breakfast. LOL. Copping on the ats V next. So glad i own a car that not EVERYONE and there damn grandma own. Mustangs and challengers are the most OVERRATED cars in America.

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

What about using wet method ?

Haven't spoke to wrap a hood in Atlanta braves wrap on a van

[@carlingas666]

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

[@DanielWraps]

if I have to do this outside, on a cold day, would it work out ok or should I wait for warm weather to come around?

[@DanielWraps]

Got mine done for the record

[@fijian650]

Daniel Turner howd it go? Whole car?

[@jimmybarr1966]

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

[@died4us590]

Great video to get a person started, but that mat black looks like an after market hood. I'm 51, a different era than people younger than me, and another color would have been better, but everybody has their own like. God bless y'all, and thanks.

[@jomsuzara0729]

What's the brand that you used?

[@reem11282]

Is the style of wrapping call dry wrapping?

[@PI_Cobra]

What type of vinyl was that?
