The Best Way To Vinyl Wrap An Impossible Trunk Super Detailed Subaru STI

[@moggle8862]

Your a life saver, been wrapping for over 10 years. Trunks were always my Kryptonite, but watched your video last night because I knew I had a trunk similar to do the next day. Used your Technique and it was a breeze. Thanks man.

[@giovannialbanese7985]

not only a great wrapper but even a great teacher! the way you described how wrinkles has to go in the same direction of edges is been probably one of the best problem solver teachings i ve learned watchin wrap videos. Thanks!

[@yyyy2999]

Hey CK, as someone who wants to open shop, can't thank you enough for the invaluble videos. You're not stingy with your knowledge and you know how to teach.

[@1psnf276]

He just said “if you have two buddies” old g just did a 3 man job💯 you lit asf🔥

[@hawkfish3749]

These videos are addictive. Not often I enjoy watching someone else work after putting in a long day myself. Great job!

[@alangarcia5693]

so true. its my day off and just watching this man work lol

[@alantospoe]

I also wrap cars for a living in the uk. Love it as a job. Been doing it for 9 years I have wrapped a wide rang of vehicles. Jumbo vans to scooters. I recommend anyone thinking of changing your career, give it a go wrap cars for living!

[@toodope5ohh]

Your probably the best and most patient wrapper I’ve ever seen 👏🏽👏🏽

[@alljobs...windowsolarclean4664]

You stay so calm...I would go crazy. Good for you mate.

Happy vinyl

[@jake7aylor]

There is a few things I didn’t like, a few reasons I wouldn’t take my car to this wrapper.

[@Michael_00001]

[@motorsportfactory]

[@jake7aylor]

Keeping magnets on the car, laying vinyl on the face, cutting on the car much much more.

[@Jack-wc3ob]

Pro tip: Easiest way to wrap a car is to hammer out all of those body lines.

Ive been vinyl wrapping stuff on my car and this dude has a vinyl wrap shop in my town and he said he wants to hire me once I start doing some harder stuff so I’m gonna vinyl wrap my whole car so I’ve been watching these videos to help me out

[@billfoster6809]

Holy Crap!!! This was a revelation of two super important principles. When you pushed the cold wrap down at minute 2:45 it showed the whole problem of trying to wrap this trunk, or a mirror housing, or a bowling ball... Try to take a piece of letter paper and wrap it around an orange without wrinkles. But if you had a circle the same diameter as the orange AND you could stretch the center as you move the paper diameter to the diameter of the orange.- No wrinkles and the EDGE has no tension. . And then at around minute 26 where you smooth the relaxed material toward the deepest part of the inset and use the stretch from that huge flat section is brilliant. I just wish these principles were easier to explain and to notice while wrapping.

[@rebirth2969]

I’m new to the vinyl wrap world doing interior and headlights so far. Next is a front lip. Hands down best vinyl wrap channel. The way you explain things are perfect. You make it look too easy. Good luck with your business from Cali.

[@ATVguy56]

your teaching skills are getting MILES better! Well done Christian, the hard work will always pay off! :)

[@Flyboytr]

I have a Lexus GX470 that is our modified off-road and camper puller vehicle. My roof and hood paint is just cracking and flaking off. I have my Avery satin Khaki vinyl on order. I have sanded to bare metal, primed and painted the roof and hood. I will polish out the new paint in about a week and then do the vinyl install. Your many videos have been most helpful and are greatly appreciated. When my wife and I do the install we will be following your amazing techniques. Thanks again and I wish you continued success and blessings in your business endeavors! :)

[@350Zquicksilver]

Glad I'm wrapping a Dodge Magnum for my first wrap and not a newer car with all the complex geometry! Keep up the great work and tutorials, so many of us out here appreciate you sharing the wrapping experience!! I'm most likely using Avery for my first wrap, over 3M or VViVid, only because of color and finish choices. Wish VViViD offered more colors...

[@joey69d]

These videos have given me the confidence to tackle the easiest wrap job ever. 1988 vw Fox wagon. I will be using a lot of these techniques. I'm very sure I will make a ton of mistakes, but, Fox. It's all squares.

[@FlobbiJobbi]

I wish i would have used this technique when i wrapped my is300 trunk. I wrapped the top part easy but then i just slowly worked my way down the back side. It took forever and there are quite a few stretch lines but it's not completely terrible. I will use this technique if my trunk ever fails. I love the videos. Thank you.

[@brandongunniers9967]

Literally just watched all of your wrapping videos for the WRX, I really want to learn how and wrap my sti myself

[@witchcraftauto]

6 years old and still relevant! Going to attempt my trunk next weekend

[@Salmon_Rush_Die]

I love watching people who love what they do and are good at it.

[@bigblocklawyer]

Regardless the endeavor, it's always a pleasure to watch a craftsman. Hopefully this gives consumers a very basic idea of how we arrive at our pricing. I do custom paint and restoration, and the majority of customers shit where they stand when we talk price. They have no idea what is involved, or what material costs. These videos give the uninitiated some insight into what we deal with.

[@ReyGamb0a301]

If you have a school, I’d sign up in a heart beat. I’ve been watching your vids for so long that I plan on wrapping my old school integra soon as my starter. I am a creature of habit and always pay attention to detail, I can say the same about your work. It’s very encouraging. Keep up the awesome work. 💪🏽

[@furiousstylze1]

Dude, you are a true teacher!!!.... Skill and a lot of patience, is the name of this game!....Keep up the great work!

[@Mastiique]

Dude you saved my life. I just wrapped the trunk of my audi a4 b5 and it was even harder than that. You advices were sooo usefull

[@sipthewater]

Fantastic instructions. I visited a place near Tokyo, Japan a couple of years ago and they wrapped on a large scale. They had heated rooms that workers went in to wrap quickly then came out. Probably cost a fortune to heat and hope no one gets heat exhausted. Nice work Christian.

[@rickyjones4119]

Bro, I'm gonna wrap my trunk like a pro now 🙌 Thanks man.!

[@sko1beer]

this guys amazing he just show us something people would pay to learn thank you ck wraps

[@ericthedesigner]

Always stretch across the main dividing line of any body panel to make your life easy! Been Wrapping since 1999! Rally Fighters, BMW's, Semi Tractors. I have tricks that will die with me if I don't teach some one else. I am an avery and 3m solo act! Self taught with a little help from 3M technicians. I started wrapping cars with cutting vinyl before they invented wrap vinyl. Lots of soap and water kinda like installing paint protection film.

[@alphaomega8713]

Watching this just gave me a headache, so much patience and complicated progress while wrapping this trunk, much fuckin respect to you bro!

[@lightningauto98]

I’m eyeing the beauty in the background. That’s a gorgeous color

[@childrenoflight3010]

I hope I can achieve half on my car what you have taught me you are a Master Wrapper Thankyou so it's basically stretch, heat, stretch, smooth out

[@OmarDaBean9]

Thank you so much for the STI wrap videos. I can finally use a great guide to try wrapping my own WRX.

[@michaelwinstead6833]

Brother your work is stellar.... Great to see some people still take pride in their craft

[@Alycanj]

Never wrapped but going to and I understood everything you were saying and the reasons why you did what you did, Ty

[@bombgoalie]

I have a lot of down time at work and just binge your stuff all day. But this one, YOU'RE A DAMN MAGICIAN.

[@Vonnyceo]

Thanks for the video! Did my first wrap job myself.. will by posting my fail in a bit lol. But hopefully 2nd try is a lot better. I rewatched the video over and over, the only problem i had was definitely that license plate part. (Doing the trunk of my is300)

[@MichaelLifeof..]

And this talent is worth the money...Since socialDistance. ive become an addict to wrap instruction videos.... The experience level,seems key.How many cars etc etc etc. Amazing

[@StrideX21]

i could watch you wrap cars as i fall asleep. i will be attempting a wrap on my 6 gen camaro ss here soon

[@anthonyshoemaker8165]

what does it mean to “cut using the back of the blade”? so far, in all of your videos that i’ve seen, i havent seen a very good angle of you doing that. love what you do!

[@dillimann]

Howdy from germany, you did a great job. one question, won’t this short cuttend rims come up with hot or cold weather and rain. Answer is very much appreciated. Take care, klaus

[@abdulchaudhary8450]

Great job as always. Always learning something new on this channel. Anyone know what wrap that yellow is in the background?

[@royboi116]

tried to do this trunk wrap on my 86 for the first time today. didnt realize how difficult it would be. time to try again tomorrow LOL

[@fubarmofo6969]

Amazing! Now that is experience right there! Pretty awesome the way you move the film and work the wrinkles. Such smart way to attack the film. Should call u the wrinkle manipulator! BOOM!

[@shredct3118]

Patients is a virtue, your an artist bro. Very impressive.

So happy I found this guy. He does a great job teaching

[@matthewdickinson5180]

Awesome stuff, I've been watching your videos in my spare time at home and work. I've never thought I'd be able to do this myself but it's certainly given me the confidence to have a go starting with a simple roof wrap on my 350z. Just wanted to shout out some appreciation for all the content you put out!

[@jamespoynor9511]

props to Avery. I just switched am loving it.

[@zackcrane224]

This is my second video of yours watching . . And being a WRX owner this is great . . Your detail in free videos is amazing! ! ! It would be amazing if you could do a free WRX wrap video but if not I understand!! But great video man AMAZING WORK!!!!!

[@johnhufnagel]

new sub. started watching your vids after searching on "best wrap for beginners." wish you weren't 6 hours away, I'd probably just have you do it. :D

[@trevorray1088]

Idk why but this is ur best vid yet, keep up the good work

[@c7uk]

Wow! Nice work! For the first 15mins that looked like crap! 😂 I’ve torn vinyl off and given up sooner than that 🤣 I’d never have believed that would’ve turned out so well!

[@gentinmedia]

Thank God I found this video! I thought I was screwing it up but it was fear of ripping vinyl, I just went out there and ripped a bunch up to practice and gauge how far it will stretch. Hell yeah, it takes lots of practice, unless your a natural, like these little Asian chicks out in Hollywood wrapping cars like there's no tomorrow!

[@22K562]

What Asian chicks what shop ?

[@brother_maleik]

picking up a sti Saturday going to hopefully wrap it myself! do you know the cheapest place to buy wraps from? I'm looking for the 3m gloss flip deep space!

[@That_Stinger_GT5]

Extremely informative and now I feel I can tackle something like this on my own 👍

I'm literally going nuts just watching thinking about how frustrating this would be.. good on you man for not walking away lol

[@BobbysBackyardAutoworks]

You are the man bro!! Was struggle on my 530I trunk. So many thank you's for this vid!!

[@2eazy206]

The trunk of my c230 was only hard cuz I didnt kno bout the stretching and I was stressin for like a whole hour and then I tried it as was happy af when that shit was so easy

[@davidblankenship7599]

Equestrian id like to see you wrap a 3 stage hood with a cowl example I've got a sr5 4 runner with hood scoop would like to see how you would do a a hood around the cowl induction part

[@taylormkct]

Very good educational video that not all goes right all the time, learnt a lot , thanks. Your heat gun must be set on a very low heat setting?

[@tintman831]

Love the videos bro. So helpful. Best vinyl wrap videos you can find anywhere. 👍👌

[@chrisbright5583]

you can save a lot of time with the heat gun if you increase the air temp in your shop . make it real warm in there 80 - 85 degrees . you can get a much better "cold" stretch , and when you add heat with your heat gun , it wont cool off as fast either . you will have more time to set bigger areas of material in place . outside in the sun on a warm day , you could have the whole trunk wrapped in about 30 minutes , max. you should try to do a rear like that with copy/print and stripes or designs that you cant really stretch out of shape because it all lines up with the bumper graphic design . great job on the trunk , they are harder than they look .

[@Smokin07ram]

To be honest...I would have tried to stretch it top down....Would have been so much harder to do! Super helpful video Christian! Thanks again!

[@anthonyclara4183]

Is there a vid of you wrapping the trunk trim. I struggled doing mine and gave up

[@charlesyoungblood1379]

I have decided to try and do this to my Corvette. I have a major concern about wrapping the front fascia. The turn/fog lights are recessed over 2 inches. Could you do a video how to do these recesses? My car is an '85 but any C4 will be okay.

[@JustKev_21]

What is this color 😍 I like it and would love to purchase it for my first time wrapping myself

[@austinpage9463]

13:12 did that happen because you pulled the left side a little too hard when you stretched it?

[@WindowTintWarriors]

wow that material is deffff thicker than avery haha.. Props to your patience.

[@33elmore]

I recently started watching your videos and I feel like I can't stop. I even get stressed out about some of them lol. It looks like something that can't be done and then you are all done! I do want to ask. How would you handle a repair after work? let's say a small accident happens and you get a scratch or cuts. does the whole section need to be redone? I bet this kind of work is not cheap!

[@brandonspence2189]

Hey CK, I have a WRX with the same trunk. You've inspired me and I just ordered some vvivid 4d Carbon fiber I'm going to do my roof and hood with. I was going to start with roof because it's the easiest, then do the hood. Do you think the trunk might be too much for someone who's never done it before? I'll have a buddy with me, he doesnt know anything about it either, but he's good at listening lol. I appreciate it bro, fire channel!

[@jennyaguirre5613]

Thank you for taking time out of your day to post this

[@da1daboss]

#BOOM #CKWRAPS. This guy is awesome. Keep feeding the streets

[@gbp3616]

I notice theres more tension on the spoiler and license plate area. Then you emphasized not stretching the bottom corners. Does this mean you would have to take a different approach with a vinyl/colour that is susceptible to changing with stretch? In other videos of yours you've emphasized certain colours change with stretch. Or would this amount of stretch be withing the limit before the colour deviates? Great videos!! looking to do my '14 WRX

[@migueldelacruz2581]

Thank u very much bro! I inspired a lot of your craftmanship!

[@1980thehammer]

The god of wrap!!! I Absolutely respect this man!!! He knows his sh*t and he knows it fricking good!!! Amen dude!!! Fantastic! Once I got a enough cash I will join your club and ask you millions of questions to get my confidence going up!!!

[@ZoDonoso]

This still amazes me. Incredible technique!

Thanks for the videos man👍🏽. Nice job! Learned a lot from you💪🏼 thanks. Going to try wrap my wife’s motor scooter. 🤞🏼

[@davidpatten4466]

I did my Subaru trunk in 3M carbon that was total hell that stuff is so thick and rigid when cold.

[@sttm1283]

i dont get it why anyone would wanna wrap their car in a primer gray color. but besides that its always fun and learning to watch your videos. keep it up

[@arizonaguy7574]

I'm not going to lie, this episode made me nervous as hell... LOL

[@thejester6265]

Dude I feel for ya, I did a Evo 8 smooth trunk a few months back, no wing and one piece all by myself. It was hard as Hell, as I was 100% by myself. I used 3M 2080 Vampire Red. Whew wee. Haha.

[@thejester6265]

Wish I could Share pix of my work, I’ve been at it over 10years, so before we had all these great new products. So much easier now. You do great work man, I act used your videos before I started a 2020 Jeep Rubicon color change. White to 3m 2080 matte OG Military Green

[@MrSebLolo]

Hello Chris, I have bought a used Fiat 500 and the paint on it is still good but it has some stones chips around it but really visible. Do you think I could wrap the car up? Are they gonna show under the wrap? If I get it done by a shop do you know how much that would be for a small car?I am think matte black.Thank you and I like your videos.

[@gonja5345]

Love vids very impressive. I’m in the process of purchasing my first roll.... what do you recommend for beginners ? Thank you 🙏

[@terrible_torres]

The best work I have seen on KZbin. Thanks a ton for the info.

[@davidanthony6408]

The type of person willing to do this job must have patience, persistence, discipline, determination and perseverance. And a can-do attitude. I wonder how much a shop charges per hour for the labor alone.

[@JHself]

Wow, you are literally an artist ! Perfect work, respect

[@josephlee72]

How would you wrap a 2020 Camry XSE front end? In particular the piece just around the emblem.

[@KDog410]

Anybody else feel like he is making this look harder than it really is to get more business?

[@benkotler4934]

You sound like you have never wrapped before

[@dave99887]

Thank you so much for taking the time. Great job man.

[@afroomega77]

Solid video! Thank you for taking time to explain the best techniques.

[@Ylts]

Whats the difference doing each panel separately vs doing entire car side in one piece (like the yellow car)

[@CKWraps]

Doing each panel separately is more thorough and gives you more complete coverage

[@ziy843]

Lol he said it was hard..but he makes it look so easy..great video
