4 Most Common Carbon Fiber Mistakes 

I really learned a lot from your videos man. Your the reason I was able to easily wrap my 2018 wrx hood alone, and do a good job. I sincerely thank you Christian, for taking the time to show how to wrap cars, and for doing so for free. Your a good dude and its appreciated!

Great video. I’m having a hard time with my carbon fiber vinyl on my BMW X5 E70. The hood is wider than 5ft. The length is fine. How do I stretch over the kidney grill. It’s very confusing to me. I wasted 5x 20 😢. Should I have used rapid tac? To assist?

exactly how I did my mirrors in carbon fiber, always running away from the center, Christian you are spot on when saying it is a mistake to run the carbon all one way. I mean it just looks horrible and stupid looking, thanks for making a video on it!

Really love your videos man. You are an excellent teacher. I haven’t even attempted putting wrap on a car yet but I still enjoy watching your videos for education and it’s just enjoyable to watch someone who is passionate and so skilled in what they do, really good stuff.

Me and a buddy want to start a company doing ppf, vinyl, window tint! You rlly make it look easy doing my first wrap on my car soon

I actually like matte carbon fiber better, looks more noticeable I think

I think in this car hood will be better the hole part in one wrap. Not divided.

In your opinion What is the most forgiving gloss wrap for a beginner to start off with ?

Recently did a high gloss carbon fiber(Avery Dennison) on a hood wrap looks like the real thing just slightly a lighter color

Im new to car wrapping and been watching all your videos to learn more mentally,i just wanted to know whats the safest or best Temperature to wrap a vehicle In?AND BTW YOU ARE A AMAZING CAR VINYL WRAPPER AND LEARNED ALOT FROM WATCHING YOU AND WRITING DOWN THE THINGS U SAY

Hey brother! You had mentioned linking the gloss carbon fiber you prefer in the description but I could not find it. What brand do you like best???

I like the look of running opposite directions. I think I'm going to start to run all my hoods that way

if you want to do everything streamlined you have to turn the vinyl for one side around 90°, so this only works with pieces that aren't longer than 152cm. And the light reflection might be different as well. streamlined is not the perfect solution. The perfect solution would be to have 2 different carbon vinyls by the manufacturers. 1 running left and 1 right.

Thanks, I must absorb the best knowledge and I must master carbon fiber in order to break the rules, improve things, to help make the world a better place like Steve Jobs & Elon Musk. God bless, Mother Mary loves. Proverbs 31.

how's this stuff do against cleaners found at 1. car wash 2. winter weather (salt, snow, sand mix ... for the random storms anyone can get caught in..) and 3. day say accidental fluid like... brake fluid? power steering 😭😭😉, or the dreaded antifreeze, wiper fluid, or even sight over spray from brake clean? i was messing around with a different product once that looked like this stuff.. 3d looking carbon fiber vinyl rubber... but.. it was not wrapped it turned out to be stamped??!?! it looked good... right up until i screwed up and thought it be a good idea to spray 2 stage clear coat with some stuff that turned the rubber into sticky goop. could not fix it no matter what. tried alcohol, made it worse, it was just down hill from there lol. it was cheap.. ebay thing u know how it goes

I’m surprised that companies wouldn’t make a hood specific piece that would cause the directional look you want but without a cut down the middle.

Ok how about the rear .. Should I ad another seam on bumper deck lid and wing .. Did the top black so that isn't a factor.. ive been searching n searching looking at supermarket vids n no close ups.. i.drive a coupe btw if that helps

custom laptop covers.. oooOo so easy.. make a turd look like a beast of a device..... had a dell laptop like that once.. they did it nice though it didn't feel like wrap.. almost like a thick mold over the cover.. very good quality.

Do people really stretch regular vinyl that much?😳. I've wrapped 4 or 5 things so far and never did that much stretching or even used that much heat other than post heating on the

i want carbon fiber it virtual 3D 2560x1440p, maybe even 4k resolution. Is that possible ? 😉

I have wrapped a couple little things on my car, like the rear diffuser and my gas cap, gonna try the roof soon 😏

I bought a roll of chameleon carbon fibre wrap last year. Planning on attempting it this year after watching many more of your videos. I was freaking out, thinking that I may have bought matte but it turns out it's glossy 🙌

i bet there's people passing off fiber glass mirror covers as carbon fiber online.if they did a solid wrap job.. i might not notice as a noob.. might not even care especially if it looked good lol

Look good on V shap but we don't like sim on the midle bro but any way i love your vdo thanks stay safe cheers diesel

What brands were the peace’s you used in the video? They look very easy to work 🔥

Gonna do a new beetle rockers in dry/matte carbon fiber any tips or things too look out for?

You deserve way more views and way more subscribers my dude! You have a lot of passion about your work and it shows!

What are your thoughts on vivids 6d carbon fiber wrap?

I was trying to run the whole piece across the hood 😢

I did mistake nr. 1 with my mirrorcaps😅😂

First!!

would u guys judge me if i wrap my prius in trees?

great idea very inspiring greetings from sticker craftsmen

what name a green rope for cutting vinil ?

Thank you! The concept of using the mirror image from one side to the other is so obvious, AFTER you show & explain it. I’m only doing my mirror caps, but this will save a ton of wasted material and time. I would have wondered why on earth it just doesn’t look right from one side to the other. And why does it look deformed? I did it just how they show it on RU-vid!? THANKS!!!! PS - Of course had I already ordered the CF you said not to. I just ordered the gloss you have in your description. I’ll try them both out on my 2005 XKR and see which looks best on the almost vintage Jag.

I was dreaming about a double reflection process I'm thinking The project using old tech will impress. The starting finish needs to be mirror quality for definition and suspension of image details there needs to be something like 2 mm Clear coating or vinyl top it with a two way window fim laid reflection facing the bottom coat it reflected outcome will be amazing.

Hi I just came across your channel andb and I have to say your videos are pretty awesome I have a question do you have a video on vinyl wrapping round objects I want to vinyl wrap my speaker tower pods for my Jeep and they're round. Want to vinyl wrap them carbon fiber also which carbon fiber vinyl wrap would you recommend that looks realistic and high and gloss.also can you spray 2k automotive clear on to of vinyl wrap? thanks again keep up your great work new subscriber 👍👍💯💯

Thanks for these tips; actually just realized for #3 mistakes, nice V shape

I have a question I seen the Mercedes Benz glk plasti dipped video you guys posted and I was wondering how much it would be to get a 2010 glk 350 plasti dipped?

That’s how you do it. You are the best. Half and half. Right down the center. I was trying to take one whole sheet and lay it down. It wasn’t working at all. It makes sense now. Should I use the rapid tac, or not necessary. Since I’m going to do half-and-half.

I wish knew this last weekend lol.

I like matte carbon fiber when laid properly. It reduces imperfections better than gloss too. The reason it's popular is because most people who are buying it don't have a flawless surface to begin with. Not everyone has the access and means to make everything look perfect.

Carbine fiber is dope,on the inside.

I did my tailgate and mirrors and grill/trim 21 F150 in the matte old school carbon fiber. After watching this video, I want to redo most of it with gloss. So much better. Is the gloss new? I don't recall seeing it around last year.

Sir plz motor bike engine side cover wrapping video making plz

great video as always thinking of wrapping my sons GTR ourselves your videos help alottt

Hey brother,.nice vids very helpful. Wanted to ask about deep scratches and chips in hood. Will the wrap or a certain kind of wrap hide them or will they show no matter what wrap is used?

Carbon fiber is laid a particular way to exploit the strengths in the direction the force will likely be applied to the carbon fiber because carbon fiber is very week if ran in the wrong direction.you want the pattern lines to run towards the likely direction of force from impact so it can flex when impacted what it can instead of instantly cracking.but usually its ran in a diagonally direction to make it strong more equally in most directions.iv researched this extensivley since i was beginning to use real carbon fiber to make some parts for my racing quad

Really great content and info there! I have a matte finish carbon fiber bicycle frame that I want to vinyl wrap it. Can I vinyl wrap it with basically all sorts of vinyl wrap materials out there? or is there a specific vinyl wrap material for matte finished carbon fiber frame? thanks

Thank you for the instruction! I was having a heck of a time figuring out how to apply the carbon fiber wrap to my project.

Just tried to wrap front diffuser lip on 2017 Maserati Quattroporte and failed miserably.

hello boss,, greetings from Indonesia,, the material is very good, in Indonesia there are many imitation materials, so the results of the surgical work are far the same as the materials you have there,, I as a sticker and wrapping sticker worker want to use the same material as yours 🙏🙏

Dang already wrapping my car on Matte Carbon Fiber. I guess next time I’ll try the Gloss one! It does look really cool and the V style really makes a difference! Thanks 👍

I literally bought some gloss carbon fiber to wrap my car and was looking for tips from you and now you launch this video haha. Some connection right here. Thanks for sharing your knowledge bro! Greetings from Chile

So I am going to wrap my boat, so I decide to go to RU-vid for some insight on how to do it. Now I am addicted to your videos ! me Being a machinist your attention to detail is awesome !! I am an information sponge and now I cant get anything done cuz I spend all my free time watching your videos... lol Thank you for what you are doing, most people just want to charge a bunch of money to just tell people how to do things. You Rock !

Your videos are so Inspiring dude. I've been watching for years and I'm just about to try wrapping for the first time on my van. Straight in at the deep end. No training and wrapping alone. Hopefully it goes well ha 👌

Thanks for the videos... just ordered the recommended exterior carbon fiber for my mirrors.

First off I Love your videos. Your videos gave me confidence to wrap interior trim and exterior panels on my car. I totally agree that the gloss looks WAY better than the dry carbon. I ended up settling for the dry look just to mellow the reflection of the sun. Keep up the great work!

Or you could have real carbon fiber like some of us

Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you SO MUCH. Really needed this

How do you remove water spots from a dry carbon fiber wrap? Or is it pretty much ruined after that?

Plus gloss carbon is easier to clean. Matte carbon tend to have texture that dirt can stick on.

Do you have any videos on doing the v shape carbon hood wrap? On your website

@22:20 ... Yes. 👍

2 things. 1. Lots of people dont like it. 2. if you do it V line, it will need to be overlaped or if you do it end to end, there is potential it will shrink and than you will see the color of the car later.

Colour changing carbon looks the best

Any tips for wrapping sun visors? Is there any materials vinyl doesn’t work on? Thanks

Thank you for sharing the tips.

Link?

you are best teaching and explind👌

That looks so good brilliant bro good looking out

That is definitely the best look.

Love your work brother

Your lessons are really insightful. :D I have a question regarding the length of wrap, like i want to wrap my Cruiser and as we know that the fuel tank is going to take most of the vinyl. how long will be 30*120 cm? will it cover my entire bike?

great work

This guy's the Wikipedia of wrapping! Thank you sir!

He had a really hard time trying to show the wrong way to do it, man so good he can't fail even on purpose 😆😆😆

Boys I’m new to wrapping I was looking to buy some wrap and I was wondering is paradox wraps the same as tech wrap ?
