How to Vinyl Wrap a Hood | VViViD Vinyl |

[@Im.tiredbruh]

Best hood vinyl wrap video I have EVER seen on here. He didn’t need 30+ minutes, an ad in between every new subject, he didn’t BS I love it.

[@LOLONO666]

AdBlock plus and no more ads

[@sharmilabandyopadhyay2884]

He has the best videos--they're to-the-point, great instructions, and NOT chaotic. I don't need videos with a ton of extra BS, I need videos where the pro just walks you through it. Christian makes it look so easy.

[@kristopherbuchanan974]

This msg cannot be overstated!!! Thank you for saying this.

[@blacksheeprcmodelers959]

Really one of the best instruction vids ive seen. very straight forward, no trying to be funny, nothing over the top. even the music was at a nice level.

[@Im.tiredbruh]

Honestly. I love a little humor and fun but sometimes I just want somebody that’s going to be straight forward and not waste any time.

[@Fisheee123]

Bought a roll of VViViD vinyl for my 2011 impala hood. Gonna wrap it today by myself for the first time. Wish me luck 🤞

[@legitsniper6212]

How’d it go? Attempting my own hood this wknd

[@littlecamomage]

​@@legitsniper6212bet he never did it.

[@aShamelessHigh]

​@@littlecamomagehahaha you're probably right. I'm about to wrap my first hood, and sand it for the first time. I ordered like $300 of supplies on Amazon to start makin my B5 avant look better so I better do it. I might post it.

You should do a hood with hood scoop maybe you already posted on I haven’t seen yet

Great video. Your shop is immaculate!

[@treydiz2103]

just tried this yesterday on my girls hood, mannn i fucked up bad. the wrinkles would just not go away. your squeegeeing is on point. idk how you do it!

[@mario_the_hiker]

Because he's not showing you he's heating

[@klaus2913]

Use the triangle technique. It will be easier and you will have a lot less work. You won't have that amount of air under your wrap either.

[@apolloplanb5209]

Prep is everything, claybar all surfaces while using distilled water, don't skimp on microfiber towels and fresh razor blades. Pre heat your wrap. This channel gives you pretty much everything ya need for the best results.

[@denisrichard3922]

That is not Vvivid Wrap ,, probably Avery Dennison

[@caritoccm]

Because he is not using vvivid that's why was so easy to install, probably avery

Holy smokes, he made that look so easy. I have the same Vvivid vinyls carbon fiber wrap for my Lexus GX470 hood. I have the 2 nozzle holes and the large grill opening to add to my job. As a 1st timer, I'm hoping to complete this job Wednesday a.m. Any suggestions are appreciated.

[@apolloplanb5209]

As in most jobs like this, prep is essential. The cleaner the surface the better the results. I highly recommend detailing the surfaces with a claybar while also using distilled water. Use as many fresh blades and microfiber towels as possible, again the smoother the better. FYI, continuously checking the surface with the back of your fingers, you dont want to leave behind any oil from from your pores. Best of luck!!!!

[@DeadpoolEarth823]

You sir are clearly skilled at what you do. And you make it loook so easy. I have some vvivid chameleon carbon a tint tool kit and the same heat gun as you (just got it for 29.99 cad! Huge deal). I did my taillights (in smoke black) on my 328i and it looks fine, there is 2 small folds and 1 edge looks a bit iffy, but it was my first time on a curvey surface and the tint was 12.99 nbd. Now im gonna do my hood! Wish me luck!! 😅 Edit: well it's been 45 mins and I'm pretty upset, the installation of the vinyl is not to bad but pulling it back up peeled my clearcoat and now the vinyl won't stick.

[@StewartAntonio]

Expert pro level install. Very good instruction and precise work, I just wish you guys hadn't edited out at 3:35 the full removal of the liner because that looks like one of the trickiest parts

[@11Xshadowolf]

This was my favorite how to video out of the 30 or so I watched sir you are master of your craft ... One question though when I have wrapped before I have had heat guns melt the viynl even on low I always wondered why no one every uses a hair dryer would that not essentially work better ?

[@mixtv61]

i used vvivid wrap and it took me 6hours... My wrap was thick and very hard to stretch. In this video his wrap looks so soft.

[@denisrichard3922]

More than Likely Avery Dennison ,, I tried VVivid a number of times only to fail ,, it is very Stiff and Sticky ,, I used Avery Dennison and had success ,, that Film he is using is more than Likely Avery Dennison

[@AlvinBrinson]

Sponsored and vendor produced videos commonly stage/fake things to make it look easier than reality, to encourage people to buy their products. If they showed how difficult their vinyl is in reality to install they would have a lot less sales.

[@TheJmich2001]

Very professional!

[@MrINFAMOUSKING]

Im going to wrap my telluride soon just not sure if 100ft is too much or too little.

[@RyanJumarPantoja]

Thank you for this turtorial video... I learned a lot about wrapping....

[@chadrichardson8588]

good video, I'm attempting to wrap my race car. 2 things I'm wondering. how much pressure is he applying with the squeegee and how much heat is he using?

[@grahamde]

Just spent appx 3 hours on the hood of a touareg and ended up wadding it up and throwing it in the trash. The main, possibly only, problem was that the wrap was minimum 10,000x stickier than what he's working with here.

[@aoverhol1028]

Just wet apply it

[@iplaypaintballsowht]

He's using a pressure sensitive film. I have the same issue the a roll of tekwrap I have.

[@Stckit1]

Was it vivvid?

[@xrinnegan]

@@Stckit1that’s the stuff they spray right ? I’ve seen a lot of people either spray the film or up under it but I thought it was just water, that’s nice to know

[@tigeronabike]

This is the best video I’ve seen you do yet, very informative and I learned a couple things that I needed to know/haven’t seen before. In most of the videos that I’ve watched with you in them, even in the first couple minutes of this one, it seems as though you’re not pleased about doing the “show and tell”: is that just the breathing thing I’m reading into or are the videos a real pain in the muffler? 🤣

[@tonyhunt8954]

the best wrap video I've seen awesome bro

[@jonhofer7072]

This can’t be vivid I spent 5 hours really taking my time and I’m finally ripped it off and went online and found it is the absolute hardest to deal with from almost every person. At 7:40 it shows him squeeging the buckles. On my Vivid the would instantly create hard lines if you breathed on them. Up came the film and on goes the heat gun, only to find it’s discolored now from 3 secs of heat and a little tension. Ordered Avery because the consensus is it’s the easiest to lay. I’ve also used 3m and it is a dream in comparison to vivid

[@beautytrendz101]

I agree. This is not Vivid, it is Avery. My vivid doesn’t lay like this video at all lol

[@603adventures9]

This is Avery very good wrap vivid is horrible to lay

[@Shad0wC0mpany2]

What steps came before you sprayed that solution and laid this film? I’d love to know how/why that film was so easy for you to work with…

[@stevegutierrez3119]

What spray did you use on the video to clean the car

[@kksheff]

I can’t find it but chemical guys has something similar called wipe out

[@blais7667]

The transparent plastic over the vinyl, should it be peeled off and when?

[@melanyxo]

Yes. At first I thought I was supposed to leave it on to not scratch the vinyl, but it ended up tearing the actually vinyl for me.

[@kamranpedrampour9785]

Hello, I just joined your page but been watching your clips for a while now, I am watching you doing the hood on this Mercedes and the vinyl you are using it's like a silicone sheet and just lays on the hood, it is very soft and strachable, OK, you make it look so easy but my problem is not the way to lay the film down, it is the film itself, I am using Vivvid wrap but it is so stiff and not flexible at all, under what temperature you are wrapping, is it very hot in your workplace that makes the vinyl to lay like that? Just waisted a lot of vinyl to wrap my hood that now I have to order more to finish the car, what is the trick, temperature or type of vinyl, as mentioned, I am using Vivvid same as yours but but is there different types of Vivvid vinyl? Please help me out. Many thanks for your help. Kp

[@leeaffectedchelle8738]

Just a helpful hint: Your shirt and arms have dust and lint, so working from the inside to the outside prevents dust. Also, outside to inside, you're pushing dirt towards the center and not away. The same with top and bottom...you want to work on the top first and work your way to the bottom.

Mine doesn’t either. I think he is leaving a step out. I’ve tried twice and takes all of my strength to reposition the film. I’m going to wipe a thin layer of dawn detergent on and let it dry to reduce the tack.

In the dozen or more videos of yours on how to wrap a hood, It's just not clear to me on how you remove the windshield washer nozzles. Do they have to be? Why do you not mention it? Do the cars you work on not have windshield washer nozzles on the hood? Mine is a '02 Lexus RX300 and the two wiper /washer nozzles are directly on the hood. Also, on my vehicle the rear spoiler is visible on all sides. I have yet to find a video of anyone wrapping a spoiler that needs to be wrapped in its entirety. I'm having a very very difficult time with all the corners and basically having the wrap go all the way around and connect.

[@kenjlee]

@@marblesrichard I did a couple of wet install before and had good results. Last one I did few days was my first time doing it dry. I'd say it's easier to squeeze out water than air. Water also makes it easier to lift up and adjust. However more difficult to apply heat with a heat gun. Dry install is quicker and less messy. I did it under the sun and helps material get soften. I once did it in winter on a sub-zero cold day my carbon fiber textured vinyl went so brittle and ripped the first time trying to lift.

my first mistake was even considering Vinyl at all after watching this video 2-3 times and others and applying two large sheets of vinyl and both failed entirely that i ripped them off and took paint off with it lmao .. the vinyl wouldn't settle into the grooves of the hood and wrinkled way too much every time i tried too smooth it and be patient it would damage the vinyl .. i even tried peeling it up slowly and the vinyl teared .. FF00ck Vinyl , its a useless product and way too finicky too work with and damages easily .. just get your car or body panels PAINTED and be done with it !!!
