Kev, your attitude and approach to life is absolutely awesome. Win or lose your positivity towards everything is so refreshing! My fav RC channel by a country mile! Keep up the fantastic work!
Hey Kevin I've actually done both vinyl and carbon fiber and I've learned that the key to making it actually look like a creaseless seamless paint job is to do it in sections top half from the trunk to the hood then the front and rear bumpers would be done separately and then the sides would be done separately and my experience I had good results every time no creases and the heat gun made it look great after a while I began combining that process with the hydro dip mixing paint jobs with vinyls and paint jobs with carbon fiber
Good try, you did a lot better than i would have. Here's a thought for you, build a box frame and attach the vinyl than heat it up and press the body down into it.
The right way of working on your RC car is with Kevin & Stempy in the same room so that you can laugh your butt off with the two crazy awesome guys who are insanely silly. 😂
13:34 🤣🤣🤣that was some funny shit, I couldn't stop laughing. I really thought it was gonna come out good, than, pop hahahaha. Give it yiannimize he'll get it done for ya
Can do in one peice with quality film. They do alot of complex stuff. Quality film can stretch so much if it's what your after def worth the few extra bucks for good vinyl. I do wrap and custom paint. Honestly just paint it with the same hobby paint. Just paint the outside then use a premium plastic clear coat. Shouldn't flake off but worth a shot. And if scratch up the clear coat hit with sand paper n shoot more clear.... just idea
If you were going to be putting a different colour on the windows and bed then I'd say it could be done. First work out where the panels join on the real car and that's where you have your edges. Secondly do the back (starting right behind the cab) and work your way back, you're going to have to make some cuts on the corners, so have the edges end up where the tailgate sides are. The front is just about the same but you're starting on the back of the cab and working forward. If you are putting on the decals after then you can use them to cover the joins. Don't forget that when they wrap a real car they make lots of cuts, thy just know how to hide them.
Chores buddy, chores. Like an adult you got to work to get your toys. I am currently saving to get a UDR. I can not justify 900 in one go so I am saving up for it. Also kinda cool to have something to look forward to! (UDR + charger + lipos = 900)
Im thirteen two my name is shannon im using my mums account i wanted a traxxas slash forever i had a really bad siezure was in the hospital for weeks for mri and lmbre puncture when they let me go mum brought me a traxxas slash im so happy with it
Kev maybe you could cut out some graphic designs or separate panels with the wrap instead of trying to wrap the whole thing at once. Could spruce up the look of it without too much hassle
Ha ha Kevin your so funny mate. 🤣😂🤣Great tips on the body but leave the wrapping alone lol. Thought you had done it. Great attempt mate. Fantastic vid .👊👍👊👍
great first go, you didn't fail.. you just found one way of not doing it :) .. it is totally possible to wrap that in one go.. as others have said.. definitely need high quality wrap, and more practice.. watch vids of the pros wrapping car mirrors.. pre-stretch, then form.. , and as others said.. you can also try hydro dipping, very doable in a home shop.. also with some practice and watching some vids to get the general idea :)
It is possible so u can try to do it from the bottom and Mack your way up cuz if you do it from the top you get more chances to make a mistake .try to use a credit card to smoth it out better
You got guts lol as someone who does vehicle wraps for a living for the last six years and I wouldn't want to wrap my RC body lol, they are too flimsy and you can't pull the vinyl like you want not to mention the key to wrapping is heat like a torch or heat gun and I'm sure the lexan or whatever the bodies are made out of will melt.
It's doable but it would be very difficult, expert level, and when you did manage to get it on it wont last as you'd over stress the material stretching it that much.
