Everything I've ever learned about wrapping has been from CK. I'M still not very good but with practice it's getting a lot better. First my little hotrod speedboat. Next one of my old British sport cars. This is fun and addictive. Great teacher Thank you !!!!!
same here, just wrapped my truck by myself and wrapped my brothers truck with his help, and im pretty impressed as how well they both came out just watching tutorials and giving it a shot
I like this video because you re showing real difficulties and how to overcome them. Nice job closing the loops....once the edge is done, the job is done too!
There are a lot of people in the world and I have no question that there are many people better than me. I suppose the ones who have said that probably believe they're the best. There are many very large ego's out there. I just do my best, whatever that is to people then so be it.
I’m doing the wrap job on my e92 m3. It’s the first wrap I’ve ever done. It’s taking me forever but I’m almost done. The rear bumper was pretty difficult for me to wrap. Lots of curves. It didn’t turn out exactly how I want it. I’m not too happy with that so I’ll probably end up redoing it. I still need to do my front bumper and trunk. It hadn’t occurred to me to do inlays. I might just copy your technique and replicate the same inlays. I will say, mad respect to wrapping guys like you. It looks easy but trust me it’s not.
hey man keep up the good work... you point out alot that people criticize your work, if they have a problem with how your doing it why do they continue to watch your videos? LOL its funny cos your methods have worked for me and its probably the most efficient and effective method to wrap. I'm using Chinese vinyl also so your method does work. Thanks for the videos
A big hello from Germany. Now this man know what He do super info at all. Thx for All the help. No Bad music at the background and the vid cut is realy cool. Thx man.
Awww man I wished u lived over here on England UK Christian. I could sit there alday and just watch. Incredible work and u make it look so easy. Just wished I could do this for a living as iam really intrested in it. Top job mate
I just got a M2 front bumper all primed and unpainted. This is such a clutch video for me right now! Longtime channel subscriber and joining forum this weekend.
Your vids are spot on with helpin me learn. Tried wrapping my battery cover for my motor bike. It like a have egg shape. With indents and other bits. So i tried stretching it slightly and it shrunk onto it. Finished off not too bad for a first attempt. Had too cut the sides and over lap but it worked. Id love a purple chrome on my own car!
You killed it with the education. the raw video and even the uncontrolled variables ie temp. Helped show what a well balanced installer needs to manage and deal with. Keep it up homie 👍
Well my bmw job today was horrible :( Did trunk first but did it from top straight down then tried to wrap edges. Wish I had seen this video first. Did it like a hood. Secure middle line then move to the outsides one at a time. Had so many wrinkles due to pulling it back off and reheating it to remove wrinkles I believe I was just activating the avery vinyl adhesive over and over. By the time I gave up it was hardly even sticky anymore. Side note when the vinyl arrived it was full of creases. The backing looked like varicose veins or little squiggly worms. The actual vinyl had cracks like if you were to fold it hard. As I worked the vinyl with the squeegee I left all sorts of scratch marks behind as well. I think it might have been dirt traces kicked up by the powerful ac unit, even though I cleaned the area I was working in. Will try again another day.
No voice at the end of ur video 😟 I have a question!! What kinda film r u using? Mine is kinda thick one and urs looks really good to me and looks thinner than mine which is looks awesome!!! So which one is better for u? Thick or thin? Thanks
Hello at CK I was going to do a DIY wrap for my BMW 07 328i! Was wondering do I have to take the bumper and trims off but I guess not... This video has me rest assured that I can complete it with doing that extra part. Is this true or do I have to take them off?
Do you use tack reducer on a body part with sketchy paint like that? The cold coming in must have been super frustrating and sketchy AF! Any great video...Thanks dude!
Dont use blower ... do a cold press first if you heat and pull you will strech and also activate the glue and best film 3m 1080 series for us beggginers..
It looks like he is using Vvivid gloss Smurf Blue. It is a thicker film than most. Therefore it can withstand more heat, before encountering problems. Cold stretch the film, and add heat as a last resort, instead.
sometimes you use a wrapglove. but not on this one. when is the need for it the most? in my mind a glove would be easier to move your fingers around and over the the wrap.
I don't like doing bumpers by myself..Although I can. I know torches are frowned upon but for something like this I usually use two torches (one in each hand) and heat the film thoroughly top to bottom and have another guy help me get it glassed out in one shot.
Dude is that your garage. Shut the bloody doors and switch some heaters on:))) ! I have a question . Im about to do my 7 series myself is the next shape g12 but still m sport and will need some advice on the parking sensors. Do i have to remove and wrap them or its fine to stay on the bumper? Thx and have a nice Christmas.
I actually have a video on doing them for this car. But you can just wrap over them and leave them uncut. It's easier for some people and there's no risk of messing it up.
I thought I would see him using more knife less tape being used for the inlays. I’m confused how he’s getting the giant bumper piece to match up with the inlay edge perfectly just by using his knife. To me it seems when you cut the big piece by hand when matching up the the inlay it’s either going to be doubled up or there will be a gap between the pieces. Can someone please explain this. Thanks
@@CKWraps thanks for the quick reply Christian. Got it. I’m a tool and die maker. I should be able to do this as a first timer. A lot of precision work for my day job. I want to do my 1993 Mazda RX7 with that flexi shield carbon fiber ppf that you really like. I think it will look mental
Dont understand. Some suggest to almost never use heat gun as it compromises long term integrity of wrap and makes it more likely to unpeel later but he uses the heat gun everywhere here so whats the truth? Heat gun or no heat gun?
I ordered 5’x70’ for my first wrap on my E90. I had a little left over but I made a few mistakes. It’s always better to have too much rather than too little.
Future reference on BMWs they mostly have 5 T20s two on the top one behind the wheel arch and two next too the headlight between the light and the rubber housing too the grills(or where the grill would be) Great content brother keep up the hard work♥️ Ps opening my own wrapping company soon🤙 KhameleonWraps🙏
