Never heat the vinyl close to the area where it is glued to the panel, keep a distance of at least 10cm and heat from there. In this way glue lines and stretch lines are avoided
@@keydz1173 not too bad. Wanted to do the spoiler on my helmet. Thought i could do it with one piece but needed to do it in three separate pieces. The one piece wrap looked ugly on corners but stayed in place quite well. The multi piece wrap is better and doesn't peel on the corners. Heat gun is recommended. It's a cheap foil for the first time though
I'm sure anyone that has some kind of knowledge of doing cosmetic or different things to a car for looks can do anything like this but when it comes to corners and things like that that's where I believe a short would come in handy to learn how to wrap around corners
Small pieces like this are easy, and it’s not a piece that can be put on the car. The pieces people are putting on cars and trucks are a lot bigger and a lot harder to work with. I thought I could wrap my truck with vinyl wrap but watching one of these videos and I was wrong lol
@AllenCars I actually just started a few days ago, I'm wrapping my Harley, and being the noob that I am, I've been making it harder than it needs to be and this video is exactly something i was struggling with!
Question: just say that you were laying out just one piece of wrap (let’s say that blue piece in the centre of your hood as a feature) once you have laid it down, should you then add a small amount of heat to make the adhesive stick more or just leave it as is? TIA.
Stupid question my wrap came with a plastic layer on the shiny side. Do you remove that before heating up or once you’re completely done and have it all squeegee out?
That’s actually bad tension, once you cut and tuck if it heats specially on hood, it will start peeling because you’re forcing it to hug the edges. Pulling and stretching helps but it also makes wrap peel up fast on the long run
it is a 2005 chrysler crossfire Limited. the channels on this hood are awkward. since only chrysler seems to have cars with this type of detail. and it looks like a particularly challenging area. idk if lift and pull is the move or if we should glass, post heat, and work the groovesthat way @@AllenCars
Watched many wrapping videos, Tried wrapping my crv myself... pissed off the whole time, took 3 hours to wrap the hatch, just pay someone to do it otherwise you'll waste all your vinyl. I promise.
@@AllenCars been wrapping for over a decade you muppet…. You don’t heat on a flat panel like that, laying it on properly and tension is enough, I can wrap a whole bonnet without using heat until I have to seal the edges. If you want me to prove it and put you in your place and teach you I’ll make a video of it
