everynight for the past 5 days i come home and binge your videos instead of netflix thank you brother from seattle wa
Just about done wrapping my is300 sportcross. First time I ever touched vinyl and I was about to give up many times! Lol your videos really helped and the more I redid panels, cutting edges, etc, I became a lot better. Not ashamed to admit I used almost a 100ft x 5ft roll haha
More importantly, it gave me a deeper appreciation for this kind of work and your free knowledge. Much appreciated!
Ck your amazing at what you do. Also , like how detailed you are w everything. Keep up the good work!!!!!!!!
Man, you make it look so easy! Thanks for these tips/tricks.
Love your channel buddy. I know this is a older video of yours but i just clicked on a random one from your channel to comment on. I spent a good year or so just watching through your videos and learning slowly. Along with plenty of practice items like vented front wings (you guys call them fenders), a spare front and rear bumper i had laying around, i managed to vinyl wrap my track car and it has come out professionally. All thanks to learning from your channel!
You deserve alot more credit for the amount of time and effort you have put into making all these videos, and i hope your subscriber count keeps climbing! Thanks from the UK 🤙🏻
Your videos are great man! Your passion can be seen miles away. 👍

From Algeria 🇩🇿 Thanks a lot bro 🙏
Hi Elite,
I thought the same thing. Over 20,000 views, and 908 likes. But if you look over to the right, it says Subscribed 128K. So, Christian has a tone of people subscribed to his wrap channel. I guess that I'm guilty of not liking or disliking many things that I see on youtube. But it is a shame that those 20,000 viewers didn't take the time to like it. The very first thing I do when watching one of Christian's videos ( even before I watch it ) is like it. I already know that he's going to grab my attention with any wrap he does. Unbelievable guy, isn't he ? Total dedication, and he loves doing it. That's my personal definition of happiness: Love what you're doing, and being so damn good @ doing it.
My best,
Scott
Liked the Vid, thx. For some reason, doing Overlays always give me a tough time....it's weird!
Thanks for the tips & tricks though, APPRECIATED IT.
Cheers, A👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
That boy GOOD!
I can feel your pain in the heat. It's like painting, you can't have a fan blowing, just have to suffer. Great vids brother
He is the MJ of wrapping

You are f*cking awesome, very nice work!!
Hi I really love your channel. it's always a pleasure to watch you work and explain.
I know it's an older clip. But would you recommend the same technique if you would have to wrap multiple colors on the side / door? Do you always start with the bottom part / color and working up towards the windows?
Imagine you would have a bottom color, say red and then you have two color blue and black in an angle of 45 degrees coming down from the roof. I would put the red first on it, on the edge I would put the knifeless tape on, then taking the other color wrap it slightly over the red and knifeless tape and put one more knifeless tape on the edge from the second color. Put the third on. Cut the third with the second tape and after that I would cut all three with the first knifeless tape.
How would you do those steps?
Thanks a lot!
thanks as always! still waiting on your go pro point of view vids....would love to see some close ups as your working. still very much appreciate the vids though :)
O Man I'll try wrap my Vw Cc after watching how You do it!😁 Like watching People with PASSIONS TO WHAT THEY DO!👌any previous experience with it?chance you could give me a any advice? Thank you for your time mate 👊
Thanks for the tips do you have videos on how to do seams?
Amazing work I'm having trouble trying to tint a 2021 ford ranger taillight very difficult can you make a video on this in the near future?
I'm going to try wrapping my car pretty soon. Seems pretty straight forward to me, but I deal with vinyls and decals all the time. Even more delicate and you can't fuck them up or else you're screwed because they're factory prints. I think it's something I will be able to do. Gotta practice a bit on my car too before I try doing other people's cars. A good way to make some extra cash on the side while still working full time.
Your inlay and overlay videos were both really good. You're the man. Where is this shop located?
Have you ever done videos on types and applications for different types of knifeless tape?
Off for a training course in UK once this COVID nonsense is sorted, great vid! Gave me some idea what I’m up against, cheers bro 👍
Great video, thank you. Do you need to then use a heat gun to finish it?
Who the heck keeps putting a thumbs down on these awesome videos? Bunch of jealous haters! Keep up the great work and keep the vids coming Christian!
yea i know rite! its an instuctional video and a good one at that! It will be one of his rivals i bet!
rival wrappers
By the way your technique of inlays Etc so forth and so on very interesting and also. You know you are very patient with what you doing! your background as far as where you came from and the love that you have for maybe it's passion. I don't know? Maybe you figured some of it out....? 😊
Chris, you should start your Patreon account so we could support your educational work that you do for us. Do not underestimate Patreon ;) and a number of folks who is watching you :)
Great technique. But good amount of experience makes it better.
Ck I assume you should also do this with PPF? Or do you think PPF has enough stretch? for Overlay and Inlays?
I'm wrapping my motorcycle on certain parts with the vvivid Chrome iridescent rainbow chameleon wrap and it's a royal b**** to work with especially from my first wrap but little by little I'm getting there.
Can I do rose chrome as my first on my 2020 Kia Telluride as my first. Then another on my husbands hood on his 2020 Telluride only a different color chrome? In Montana we get lots of rock chips on the front of the car and I am on my 3rd broken windshield . Any suggestions would be helpful. My car is Pearl white. His is a metallic gray. Thanks Susan Twist. I watch everything you do.
Any advice on wrapping a t-top ? I’m in the process right now and I’m having some troubles.
How would you join the inlay and overlay on that bumper comming around the drivers rear and moving to the rear bumper? Which would you do first? The inlay or overlay?
In your opinion what is the best brand of carbon fiber wrap to use
on mirrors. R. Brown.
Thank you for your time.
Can you layer wrap in one install, for example say you did a carbon fiber hood and roof, can you then later gloss black stripes over that.
would it be best to do inlays and/or overlays with matte color vinyl when doing a grill for my xterra?
Is there an instance where you would lay knifeless tape down, overlap 2 vinyl panels, then pull the thread to create a perfect butt joint? Even if there was no tension in either sheet, would shrinking over time and the joint opening be a concern?
Hi buddy do wraps fade? ... If so can ceramic coating be applied or PPF ? Thanks Christian . Peace bro 😍
So depending on visual angle, an inlay in the lower center would go in, then wrap the mostly vertical bumper face, then an overlay outer horizontal sections?
I’m going to do a2015 cla250 benz in vvividd satin black inlay you think will work manly front bumper
Do you need to heat the area of the vinyl where knifeless tape will be applied before pulling the tape?
After yu throw away the top peice and retape it Do yu put the tape on top of the wrap? On the edge...but does it touch the wrap?
Can i aplly this method to other vinyl color like black doff
have you wrapped an entire steering wheel? no just parts but the entire thing, what would you recommend for the seems or unions. Thanks
Can you join wrap my scoda superb quarter back panel extends up along the side of the roof over the doors it will take a very large sheet to cover it leaving a lot of waste.
What kind of wrap do you guys use?
I watched both the inlay and overlay videos and might have missed the reasoning but why did you do the inlay where you did and not an overlay. is it because there is a trim piece that goes where the inlay was installed?
Summer school on Sunday here , your killing me 😀 , Chris , was this vivid wrap you just used ? Overall , which wrap do like as #1 to cover all the bases , inlay , overlay , shine , color etc ... I think I'm getting confident of doing my Corvette , I'm a detail person type of guy with anything I do , Thanks John from Harwinton Connecticut USA
Avery is the easiest to use but if it's too warm out then it will be very difficult as it turns very soft like bubblegum. Vvivid has great gloss and depth, especially to their new films. Again it will get very stick in higher temperatures but the film won't be as soft and gummy like Avery. Avoid 3m all together, their gloss finishes are very poor and the air release barely works
Chris have you considered wrapping a bicycle! Tricking out a bicycle. I ride one for my exercise and health. And........ 😋
but how does it hold up to delamination at the seam over time with sun , weather, water etc?
How cool would it be to have a machine like an auto wash that you drive the car through and it wraps the car, all that'd be left is cutting. I think I'd have more luck building that device then trying to wrap my car by hand, he makes this look way more easy then it is..
Were can i find the midnight sun wrap
👍👍👍
How would I put an invisible join in my carbon fibre wrap?
Can you make a video on how to wrap over sensors in the rear?
i realize it is kinda randomly asking but does anybody know a good site to stream newly released series online?
@Jett Mekhi i dunno atm i have been using Flixportal. just google after it=) -jamal
@Jamal Emmett thank you, I signed up and it seems to work =) I really appreciate it!!
@Jett Mekhi Happy to help :)
overlay overlay yee har!
Ok how did u seperate the top piece from the bottom piece i didnt see u cut it
How much overlap are you giving it? 1/8”?
So why is it better to use an overlay rather than a butlap (is that the same thing as a seam?) where you run side by side rows of knifeless tape at once. Lay down one piece and pull the outermost tape so you can discard the overlapped extra film. Then lay down second piece letting it run wild. Pull second tape which cuts thru both pieces of vinyl and now you have a butt joint and no overlap lines. Just explained it only because I might not be using the correct terms so I thought to describe it.
I did butlaps (or whatever they are called) for my hood and trunks different color racing stripe which created a perfect seam with no overlap or underlap, if that's a thing. Falling short and showing the cars paint. Looks perfect that way.
Im assuming we don't want that sort of joint if you are using one color as it might make a very distinct line even if butted tight? Or do we do overlays because it helps prevent separation due to the vinyl adhering to the other vinyl and forming a tighter marriage? Im just curious if im using the "butlap" when I should be using an overlay. I just don't like that you can see the vinyl from the piece that's on the bottom. Its like a bump. I don't mind the top piece cut line that is facing down in this vid as much as the bump of lapped film. Maybe im overlapping too much and have more material under than I should have.
Thanks for this one. I think I need to use an overlay for my Bmw Z3 (as I mentioned in a different video of yours) and now I know how to do it. Whether or not Its my only option is not entirely known to me. My hood has two body lines where I can break the material. I need to break it because the Z3's hood is wider and longer than 60"'. Although I have seen some wraps that id swear were done with one piece. Im not sure.
Im going to use carbon fiber so im also concerned about how the pieces with blend due to their being a pattern. I assume ill have to do my best to line up the design. Difficult if so as my first two pieces will be left and right side of hood on the body lines and my third piece should be center to properly overlay. So it has to match patterns of both left and right sides.. ugh
Oh ive also seen them break the material at the front wheel fenders by creating a line that does not exhist as if the fenders were separate panels. Doesn't look half bad but creates lines that were not there. Not contour but very obvious panel lines. Not sure how they did that as it does look like a panel. A space between the fender and hood. Might just be shadow or another vinyl underneath to create the illusion of depth.
If you seam it then you'll do the center first and the outside pieces after. This way the edge of the seam faces away from the eye. The hood can be done in one piece but requires more effort and skill when it comes to stretching the film
ah okay and thanks. Ya hood is about 6 inches longer and or wider than 60" So I guess that's not a whole lot if you stretch it. In fact I believe, now that you mention it, that 10% stretch is ideal. Thanks for pointing that out. I will try.
Christian I'm René All The way from Africa, Namibia. I just wanted to ask if Orafol wrapping film is a good brand to wrap a car in?
They are the biggest brand in the industry. The film is good
CK Wraps okay thank you... and keep up the great, very educational videos.💯
What’s the brands name
Also to have the overlay facing down the edge of the wrap will not collect water and dust and make it stand out more
want to wrap my own car, but the fact that id have to remove the trim and lights of the car giving me anxiety since im scared i might mess that up or not be able to put it back properly
Totally different question but would you wrap the hinges of a Jeep?
I'd probably suggest to the customer to plasti dip them in black. It will save a ton of time and money but yes I could also wrap them
Just a question,
Couldn't u just overlap the 2 vinyls that were going to stay and double cut them with the knifeless tape?
I think what happens is that over time the wrap could shrink from external heat etc, which could cause shrinkage, leading to gaps. By overlaying, the shrinkage is less likely to make the original paint visible.
Anyone with any tips to butting two wraps without knifeless tape?
Or with it but tracing an existing wrap.
I put down a racing stripe with vinyl and now I decided I want to try and wrap the whole car. But I do not want to remove the stripe. So I want to butt up to the existing stripe perfectly with no overlay.
My plan is to run knifeless tape along the stripe perfectly but im not sure I will get it tight enough so you cannot see the paint underneath on the new wrap area or avoid overlays depending if I drift in either direction. So the trick would be to run the wire on the tape exactly along the edge of existing vinyl stripe. Not sure how hard that would be but im really not sure theres any other option without removing the stripe, which is not an option.
Ideas?
remove the racing stipe, not much vinyl involved. redo the racing stripe, im sure client will agree. full wrap?

Can an unpainted bumper be wrapped?
no all wraps are somewhat transparent if your cars 1 color and the bumpers another color you could end up seeing a difference. also you need the smooth finish of a painted bumper for it to look right
