@CK Wraps, I must be one of the original wrappers as back in 1970 while being a mechanic at a new auto dealership I would install the fake wood siding on station wagons, around door locks, align the wood grain, going around wheel openings etc. I never thought about what I did until watching this video, so I was vinyl wrapping some 52 years ago and I'm 75 now still messing with hotrods and race cars. Keep up the good work, never retire, not healthy keep going. If you rest you rust. Wonder if I can still wrap something, hahaha probably (not).
Wow would love to see and hear some stories. Been in the business myself for 23yrs. now and finally own my own shop. I love what I do, I started out on jean jackets in the 80's and have never really stopped expanding my knowledge. I have removed alot of old wood panel vinyl that was real wrapping with no air escape adhesives. And oh do I know the pain of that vinyl.🙌🏽🙏🏽
your videos same quality as a job training course or college lectures. I am learning very easy with your videos. thank you for not doing BS and giving straight information and teaching us
I am loving these new vinyls and how easy they are to apply. I started wrapping in 98 and there was nothinglike this available. Been in the business myself for 23yrs. now and finally own my own shop.

Greetings from Italy Chris. I will always be grateful to you for your videos, which allowed me to wrap my car myself with an excellent result and a truly ridiculous expense.
It’s like @Alex Beckers channel did a car wrap on a Tesla, what a trip! You did an amazing job giving details on installing and ur tips and tricks are priceless to anyone in this trade
That is so cool. When you were applying it to the hood of the car it looked purple and yet when you moved away from the car the hood looked blue. Amazing
@@seven7hsine it’s I used the carbon fiber one and it got wrinkle and air bubbles. I couldn’t lift it no more without tear. It’s 85% clean but them wrinkles make it look bad up close. I’m going to chock it up as a learning experience
Get it right, get it tight!! I gotta say, my doing many many cars all around window tinting for years🤔 Im pretty confident that to do car wrapping isnt going to be at all much different of a project to set out and accomplish in a portion of ones day!! Looks awesome and bonus part is its all easily replaceable and easily reinventive on new looks!! And way less expensive than any paint job. This product has me sold!!!
I install vinyl flooring and use vinyl stencils to paint logos, and lettering on gym floors. This is the only other trade I’ve ever seen that uses the same skills. Sick
The PPF Galaxy color is similar to the 3M 1080 deep space metallic wrap. The Deep Space changes six different colors depending on the angle you’re looking at it. It’s the most amazing metallic color changing rap I’ve ever seen. My Camaro is amazing with the Deep Space. Can’t even get it anymore.
Apparently you can't get this one either. I went to the website for FlexiShield and looked in the Cosmetic PPF wraps section, and no mention of a Galaxy Purple. Just a Plum Purple color called Perfect Plum, and 11 others. Sure they look good, but I really like the blue and purple in this wrap. Reminds me of the R34 Midnight Purple paint. Though the R34 was a bit more subtle.
I love these vids because I've been covering model airplanes with similar materials and processes for years. It's cool to see the same technique used on cars. You are an artist.
@@tylermills79 yep that's the stuff! There's better material available now that lets you do more complex surfaces but the techniques are still the same ones you already know!
Man that purple is Sic! I loved the last purple wrap you showed. But this PPF is like real paint. And you can dry wrap this, Van Dame! Always great demos with the latest and greatest products. CK the Greatest Wrapper Alive!
I saw something a lot like this on the road yesterday here in Orlando, except it was gold, then orange, then yellow, all depending on the angle of the light, and was also on a Model 3. Normally I'm not a big fan of flashy looks, but I thought that it looked great. This color would be a lot more my style though.
Tesla has really boring paint colors, so a wrap is a great idea. This is quite a dramatic color. I admire this fellow's craftsmanship. He is quite talented at this. He makes it look easy, when it is not easy.
That car looked great by the end of the video... but I have to say I also really liked the way it looked at the beginning with just the side panels wrapped. From the front anyway, it looked really cool. I'm sure from the side it'd look odd to not have the rest wrapped too.
Almost like tinting windows back in the 1970's. I have one main question to ask... maybe two. How long does the wrap last and is it okay to survive in the Texas climate all year long? Thanks
Very exciting stuff! Wish I saw this video before sending my Model Y in for a full front PPF this morning. I'll have them do this wrap on my next vehicle.
Mr C K Wraps can you please post the link to your first video regarding step one to car wrapping. I don’t have the time to scroll but I want to learn this intuitive skill
this is an amazing ppf holy!! looks like paint! I need this in my life! also I think personally it would look great on a nissan GTR or an audi R8 🤔 love it
Looks great. It would be interesting to see the long term comparison to regular PPF. Is this flexishield thinner than regular PPF? Is it still self healing, and how does it look after 3 or 4 years? I might have to get some and play around with it.
Jus wrapped my interior wit red carbon fiber vvivid vinyl was tough at 1st then jus kept goin thank you CKWRAPS you helped me out a lot did my own instead of payin some one too I owe you one Brotha
@CK Wraps Can you put vinyl or ppf over textured areas like on truck rocker panels or behind wheels rear wheels in order to protect from rock chips as I live down a gravel road.
no wonder people say if you ask how much for the wrap of the whole car, then it is too much for you, all these work you put on it is an Art, not just a wrap already.
I am new to wrapping (total noob actually) this video makes it clear this is not something I can do myself and why it costs thousands of dollars to have it done professionally. I wish it wasn’t so expensive but this video helps me understand why.
I did my Wrangler by myself with Vivvid. It took me about 40 hours, messed up a few pieces and had to trash them, but overall it came out great and I even won first place in a 4x4 show that I entered. I spent $500 total for the film and the tools. If you have the time, just go for it.
It really looks great ! Would you also say that if you cover your whole car with this Vinyl , It will offer great protection against flying rocks nicks or dents and even protect against rust ? Or will it ad a lot more protection to the car ?
this reminds me when i started in 2002. Mix release liquid from 1/3 washing-up liquid and 2/3 glass cleaner, then Wrap the car with plotting film. Carwrap film wasn't on the marked this time.
I don't know if you remember this stuff but it reminds me of Zap. Was something you could put in your water gun which changed colors when you shot it at someone
Have had nothing to do with vinyl wraps. I live in Western Australia, so don't know if anyone does wrapping... I'm fairly confidant that someone does?? 1. Once it's done do you wash the car as per normal, or is there any special requirements needed? 2. Do you wax or polish the surface the way you would a normal painted surface? Interesting video... thanks for doing it!👍
This reminds me of the Ford color shift paint. Man this PPF is wicked awesome. I'd imagine it's much more expensive. I'll do my own if I can get the product direct. Now, does this new PPF have much of a color selection yet?
I wish there were a decent wrap shop near me. I'm out in the sticks but would love to get my car wrapped by someone who knows what they are doing like this.
@@AlphaFlight it’s not even necessarily a business, it’s me trying to further myself as a beginning at home installer. The course is on my purchase list after I get bills paid. Don’t read to deep into it, we all watch the vids and we all take pieces of information as we go. That’s the beauty of RUclips as a platform :)
I have a question. Where you live do you have to register the new color to the DMV everytime you change the wrap? I ask cuz if the police run your tag and it says it's a white car but your wrap is red won't that get you stopped so much if you don't have to register the color difference? Maybe it's a stupid question but I have always wondered. Thanks.😁✌
@CK Wraps, how would a material like this handle when wrapping a motorcycle? Looking at say a Kawasaki Vulcan S gas tank specifically? Would you inlay or try to single piece it?
Is your name CK? Cuz CK you are the Mega Man of Vinyl! I don’t see anyone that knows more about it than you. I’ve followed a couple of your videos and they are really helpful and I bought some VVivid wrap. Wow it is a great product ! Other cheap vinyl is garbage. Keep up the great work can’t wait to get some more free time to watch more from your channel!

Yeah we used to do it in the Air Force on jets as well on leading edges, helicopter blades, etc. Then all the aircraft markings squadron insignias.
The Bob Ross of vinyl wrapping. Oddly meditative!
I was at a training last month and one of the reps was talking about this. He said it's going to be a big thing, which appears to be true. Cheers.

How your business?
@@YarikIphone for now I have 2 costumers, I'm still trying to market ND introduce the wrapping here in our place.
Used flexi highlighter yellow on my motorcycle. Looks like paint. Soooo much better than average vinyl
28:00 when you moved the camera angle, that color just totally lit up! So beautiful! Wow.
It's crazy wild, you'll see the walk-around video. It's supposed to be sunny tomorrow so I'll be able to get it outside
It’s like @Alex Beckers channel did a car wrap on a Tesla, what a trip! You did an amazing job giving details on installing and ur tips and tricks are priceless to anyone in this trade
Your ability to extend a video through repetition is awesome. Great skills.
That is so cool. When you were applying it to the hood of the car it looked purple and yet when you moved away from the car the hood looked blue. Amazing
Some people are good practitioners and some people are good trainers. You excel at both
Today I tried to do my 1st wrap, and boy do you make it look easy! I have to reorder me another roll and try again.
Right. It took me 2 hours to do my hood with mediocre results . 😔 had to throw away the first attempt.

Been watching a couple of your videos, I gotta say your really good at explaining and breaking things down for your viewer's. Great content 👌👍
Just looked at the roll to buy it for my plaid and its $6000 😂
Msrp is around $1,800usd. I don't know why it shows $6,000. Metrorestyling.com should have it posted on their site for the correct price.
@@CKWraps They appear to be sold out of all Flexishield products. The 6k site seems to be the only option
HELL YEAH man!!! new stuff!! this was a great video brudda - I love hearing about new products and this one can be a real game-changer.
I think I can hear his heartbeat at times! Either way great vid

@CK Wraps great video man I'm the roofer who worked on your street couple years ago. I'm back there now , love the new hair style !

I need that color on my bike. I will be ordering this
yes but where ???
@@laurentcrozet2622 right that’s what I wanna know
Nice! A lot like wrapping my countertops but massive and just as frustrating. No wonder it costs so much! Beautiful work and lots of patience!
Almost like tinting windows back in the 1970's. I have one main question to ask... maybe two. How long does the wrap last and is it okay to survive in the Texas climate all year long? Thanks
Definitely ceramiccoat it
Great video, thanks. I'm holding out for a red/black colour flip
They told me yesterday that there is a black / red coming. I'm also waiting for that one haha
Dude you have Mad Talent and patience!
YOOO!! I just painted my Maxim 750 that same 'Stellar blue', caught my eye, like that color
Man IF I had the patients to do that...This video is AWESOME...I need my Audi B8 wrapped after watching this video
* patience
Very exciting stuff! Wish I saw this video before sending my Model Y in for a full front PPF this morning. I'll have them do this wrap on my next vehicle.
I love iridescent paint/ wraps. Solid gamer color scheme.
best sales pitch for this stuff i want it!!

Literally answered some of your questions in the first two minutes
I just looked at your website and saw the amazing colored mirror surfaces available. Stunning. But I'm surprised they are street legal.
Nice how much does it cast to rap a pick up price compared to painting a truck
Man you did an excellent job explaining everything. Well done!!
Ha! Been taping off sentry mode for years! Love it
Love this galaxy color !

That is a very cool color blend.. amazing stuff
Damn! Great looking wrap Chris! As always another great job.
So, what would be the advantage of vinyl wrapping a car vs spray dipping it?
Or
Let's say pros vs cons??

@CK Wraps, will that kind of color shift vinyl wrap work on a stainless steel french door refrigerator? Asking for a friend.
That is what I want on my car. I love that color
I took a shot for every time he said ppf... I Just awoke from my comma and started again just to finish the video.
Sweet wrap. Back in the 90s we called this paint color “mystify”. Was pretty expensive.

Hi ck.
Love what you do! Thanks for all the tips and trix.
What in would love is if you could hell me with Mercedes estate trix. The boot is so hard
What is the purpose of wrap? Is it to replace paint or cover over old paint? How permanent is it?
