Difficult Aftermarket Hood Wrap With Paint Protection Film

[@ztechwindowtint]

That was a badass install! Definitely an enjoyable watch. Something like this is not easy!! You guys handled it though. It is what it is with something like this theres only so much you and the film can do but this was a 10/10 in my book considering the difficulty! Keep up the good work!

[@hedgecarcare]

How much would be installing cost for this hood?

[@Driven_Life]

Did you guys end up cutting out the vents areas if so will that be a spot where it might lift in the future

[@denttime]

Damn Ron! Now I know what it feels like to be a student trying to learn PDR but now PPF! Keep up the great tutorials! See you soon.

[@ballplayer4301]

One of the best installers out here imo 👍🏽

[@mikesanchez1428]

if u ever seen a python eat a dog...kinda like that...a gargantuan task...bits at a time...the amount of genius displayed here...many will never be able to accomplish...even if they see this vid over and over....thank you for being the fearless provider of knowledge without edits here, for everyone who has the cojones...to tackle such a feat....thanks a million my man...Dirty

[@mikesanchez1428]

after watching this video, i put my cape on,,,and believe i can ppf anything.... then i go try it, and i realize,,,, i am not Ron....but surely, watching this, opens up all the possibilities in my mind about how to do ppf.... again, thanks for the invaluable hours put here for us pheasants to learn from... Dirty

[@Worldecor]

Good job. The carbon fiber really helps hide any application fl.

[@adonissandoval1857]

Killed this install! I would have lost my cool on multiple occasions 😂 once again good job!

[@diegojunco7080]

Hola buen día. Excelente trabajo. Una pregunta. Que producto utilizas para posicionar el material.

[@ALLENAUTOGLASS]

Not an easy hood by any means. You guys pulled off a great install one for the books. Keep up the great work and inspiration for the rest of us film slingers. 👍🏻😎

[@redsuncarcare]

That’s a very consistent & clean installation

[@ElRayDelRio]

This looks super frustrating but you both did a great job approaching this project. This hood is definitely a bit more complex with those sharp ridges and body lines. Stellar job brother to you and your tech

[@elvacherounpoditutto9850]

Ottimo lavoro, considerando l'estrema difficoltà del cofano, molto spigoloso e concavo in molti punti. Il prodotto che spruzzi, cos'è? Acqua e sapone o un gel diluito? Complimenti ancora 💪

[@waltersmith3165]

Amazing work. That looked crazy hard.

[@thegreatpaulsmith]

Incredible job. I would have given up a long time ago in frustration

[@jacko9739]

Nice to see some fresh videos 😀

[@chaseD707]

What tack solution are you using? And what do you dilute it at? Your tack mixture is godly

[@ztechwindowtint]

Agreed my eyes lit up when i saw it stick immediately lol maybe a little gel in there?

[@rumenpro]

Wow very hard hood. Great job!!!

[@portlandautocare]

Amazing job!

[@ryazkurd2492]

Well done bro great job keep working good bless you ❤

[@Golions2084]

Nice job. I've been out of the industry since 06 and had to freehand hoods and bumpers like this a lot at SEMA shows for promotion and it wasn't easy. The film has come along way since then.

[@PaintProtectionFilmAcademy]

It really has. I started back in 2004. The 3M film then was like cardboard compared to the films available now a days. If you’re at SEMA this year I’ll be installing film on Tuesday at the Legend Film booth. Say hi.

[@chosenmusicartist]

How much alcohol do you use in your tack by chance? Thanks

[@JetFire9]

10-20% of 91% IPA

[@ThatFlyGuy98]

Keep up the videos ! Please and Thankyou, you’ve teached me so much 🙏🏻

[@frmesk08]

Hi ... Which kind of PPF you use ? I mean which brand ? Thanks

[@renantework]

in this type hood you can tack the 4 sided first so it be easy. just like the hood of camaro.it will mke an adhesive line or mark on the hood

[@infinitygraphicshop]

Sir You did a Great Job 👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️

[@bbuckeye12]

What does somthing like this typically cost? Just recently got a nee carbonfiber hood and I think I need to do this as well before mine starts fading

[@Platypus119977]

how do you avoid so many lines in the film from parts of the film sitting so long against the tacced spots. If i leave the film sitting for more than 30 seconds i get lines galore

[@johnathana6082]

What are you using for tac solution?

[@chipdiamond2628]

I think steam would help a bit on those hood curves.

[@Straightlinedetailin]

Great Job RON!

[@Litjosh1]

Hey man what tack solution you using? Grabs right away. Dilute ratio?

[@PaintProtectionFilmAcademy]

6-8 ounces of 91% alcohol in a 30oz bottle with water

[@kingrubio3976]

What liquids did you use to install it

[@jaxbrewery]

If you look up slip solution and tack solution it’ll give you a better idea of what he’s using

[@aliekici1436]

Hangi jeti kullanıyorsun

[@Driven_Life]

What brand ppf was that

[@PaintProtectionFilmAcademy]

Legend Paint Protection Film.

[@mieautodetailing5114]

Hi sir... can you share the video of water mixing ?? Tq sir...

[@sumanshek3259]

Which brand ppf you are use

[@levibre5795]

Thanks for shearing

[@autowerkesexclusive]

Dude! Nicely done!

[@jesusramon4200]

Con esa tecnología facilitó mucho. Con otro tipo de película dudo mucho que lo consigan sin sufrir

[@jesusramon4200]

Sin restar merito, es un excelente servicio que pocos consiguen con éxito

[@mikel4755]

Hello, can you tell me where I could buy some large film for the car door and hood? Right now, I can only find some 12 inches wide film on amazon but I need bigger one like 40 by 40 for car door. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Btw, I'm in Canada. Thanks a lot!

[@JetFire9]

Very hard to find because the manufacturers ban vendors from selling to the public. You can buy some off brands, but you’ll be lucky to find any name brands in big rolls that don’t cost more than the price if you paid to have it installed. It’s a scummy practice to screw DIY’ers.

[@froyhernandez5797]

Awesome job despite the imperfections. Luckily it blends in with the carbon fiber. I would definitely not be picky about it. Curious to know how would you go about the process on a painted hood? Same way?

[@slhiru2867]

great work

[@heatguns21]

Nice work ! :)

[@ramos5875]

are some films easier to install vs other brands?

[@PaintProtectionFilmAcademy]

All films have a learning curve. Some stretch really well but to tack well and vice versa. I always recommend trying out different one to see what you feel comfortable with.

[@ThatFlyGuy98]

I work at a Porsche dealership and my main problem is dealing with chicken skin and adhesive lines in the glue . Do you have any videos on those things ?

[@PaintProtectionFilmAcademy]

I don’t yet. I don’t remember what video it is but I talk about lift lines. What brand film are you using?

[@user-ng2uq8sj7r]

I see dealership jobs quite often as someone who reedoo dealership jobs that customer don’t like , I’m glad you are wanting to learn . Lift lines will appear if you lift the ppf when it’s already too much tacked up , and or you haven’t got the liquid deep enough after lifting , your tack solution wich is alcohol based is thinner so it will reach furthest then the soap solution , try using the tack to reach to the line you stopped when lifting , while pleeeease avoid putting your fingers under the ppf … Chicken skin in when you move the ppf around your a pressing to much with your finger and not enough with your palm , your finger will create a tacking point and if you squeegee over it it will appear like chicken skin spot , always position and stretch your ppf , like , glass it , lay it perfectly and then spray soap solution again with high pressure to lift any tacking point , your piece need to be glass and spot less before any squeegee , this is a terrible video to watch honestly … lot of problems …

[@johnlusher2740]

Hi great video! We’re you scared you crease that at the very end? Or your colleague. It was scary just watching! True pro. I am a subscriber

[@PaintProtectionFilmAcademy]

Installing a panel like this with the amount of lifting and stretching is for the most part stressful. I have to keep telling myself it’s just film.

[@chriscoesbodyshop]

Wow, great job.

[@thetankslapper]

Can you tell me what squeegee you're using?

[@PaintProtectionFilmAcademy]

[@NotVinnyy]

I was stressed watching this 😂

[@sumanshek3259]

Awesome

[@Gulshan_patel_12396]

Nice

[@노승록]

good

[@rodrigocamposdetalhamento]

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👍🏽😀🇧🇷

[@DavidNovaa]

Meanwhile the customer is probably watching this video laughing about his ridiculous hood that's hard to install

[@j22gon]

😂😂 what a POS , called out the other guys side when you’re impatience caused many fuck ups on your side (hence the edits and constant sighing). There’s room for play with PPF, no need to rush. Came out good either way.

[@ДЕНИСВодолазкий-д9о]

Сложный Капот, но получился)

[@kaiopeliculascaico]

Só Nice

[@capaldi328]

and i thought my Macan hood was tough

[@przyciemnianieszyb8935]

10/10 💪💪

[@christiangifco9847]

that hood looks annoying as fuck. looks good to me!

[@malanalan1]

Jeez! They skipped trimming. Useless!
