Im wrapping my first car tomorrow which is my own car and I hope I can pull it off... this is something I really want to learn
A little update I wrapped my hood only and came out good!
Another update, I got my first 3 clients to wrap their hoods and roof. Nothing big just starting off small! 😁🙏🏽
@@iAmJxrry great job, can you tell me which brand did you use. Im thinking about wraping my car.
@@Марс-щ4ъ I used 3M materials
@@iAmJxrry yes, 3M is best material and most expencive if im not wrong. Can you please tell me how much did you spend to cover whole car? Thanks a lot for your answer!
Good Morning
I love your videos I really like your work, I've been working in this area for 20 years and I still can't be calm and do a job like that, but here in Portugal nobody wants to pay for a good vinyl thank you
Surely most problems due to adhesive separating is due to an incorrect post heating process? Obviously some cases can be down to purely poor manufacture of the vinyl, but most of the time will be down to over heating while post heating?
Thats a NICE color on that jeep
CK. I am able to remove the lifting in that V like you show and it looks great afterward, but the following day, it is back to the same problem. I have tried post heating but it still doesn't seem to stay. Do think I am not getting it hot enough on post heat?
CK, I wanted to update this. I tried using a laser thermometer on my post heating of the V to ensure I was reaching 170+. It seems to have worked. No more lifting in the V last I checked and your method for 'fixing' the V works well, just make sure if you are reading this to put plenty of heat in it. Also I noticed my cheapo vinyl gets tacky when it's hot so I have to let it cool a bit before pressing it down into the V.
Do you use a temperature gun?
I had my work van fully wrapped and im having all these issues you are talking about. $3500 latter! POOR prep and attention to detail! Im thinking of suing these MTFs!!
Can i use needle to rid of those big bubble at 6:10?
Ive had a problem where I tuck the vinyl in heat it after to the right degree and a few days later the ends start to lift again what could it be.... using hexis vinyl aswell.. wrapping over straight panels is great but anything that bends or corners is horrible
I'm having the same issue 😕( same brand ) Did u ever find a solution?
Wrapping sticker on the Matt finish painting?
Love the videos! How do you make vinyl stripping to stick to plastic pieces such as side skirts, rear diffuser, front spoiler? I used a promoter and still wouldn’t stick… any tips pls
Did u ever get a solution?
@@stephaniea3688 3M Primer would work I think. although wrapping a diffuser is so common it should work anyway...
Would you be able to cover how to wrap vented hoods? getting into the vents i found very difficult
This
I would lay over the hood vent, but kinda form a slight air bubble above the vents on your hood, then I’d cut slits between each vented part and add heat, then smooth out by hand or what you got
Do you use rollers especially the roller-s from 3M when post heating in places like recesses or do you only use the glove?
Any recommendations for headlight tint that can handle the heat? I used vvivid blue, and I had to remove it because it turned black from the heat.
How can I remove my bubbles from my roof of my car I messed up and I’m wondering if I pole holes and I wash my car will that mess up?
Ck does that apply to Nonna commons ouch!!
Can you wrap over scratched up and rough plastic?
Is that a ball-point-pen?
What color is that jeep. I see you got the wrap on the wall too. Is it vivid wrap?
Sinue Medina it’s new kevlar chrome! (Not sure the brand, Maybe hexis)
He has a video of it on his channel.
I thought the same thing that color is crazy !
Is there a way tell if the vinyl has good adhesive? I just purchased the VVivid high gloss carbon fiber you used in the Tesla interior, and it wont stick to crap! The backing is barely hanging on to the vinyl! Not to mention the tape that was holding the roll had yellowed. I ordered from amazon, should I have ordered directly through Vvivid?
They have a shelf life before the adhesive stops being so effective.
You have not done a video for posting heating for temperatures. What is post heating? Am I heating the surface or the vinyl?
Post heating is heating the vinyl after you installed it in stressed or recessed areas to "kill" the vinyl. Each vinyl has its own temp, so check that before you post heat.
PsychoToys he has a detailed video on this on ckwraps.com
I interest the work wrapstyle
Around the 8 minute mark with the bubbles... I'm facing the same issue even after having cleaned and post heated. My guess is it's just a high tension area (tailgate on an SUV around the license plate). After heating again and removing air, the area will lift again after about 20 minutes or so. There a way I can inject some primer 94 with a syringe into the lifted are and fix this issue or will it not tack enough to adhere to the wrap? Pretty irritating.
@Bill Rupp Thanks, all what you say is true. I've redone my tailgate, but had to first lay a piece around the license plate area and trim at the contours. My second piece covered the whole tailgate where it was trimmed up to match and very slightly overlap the first piece. The result put much less stress on the wrap around the recessed plate area and it looks great for about a half year now. Have the whole car done in the Vvivid + grey forged carbon matte wrap and get positive comments on it all the time. When done right, all the hard work pays off!
At what temperature setting your heat gun is when stretching?
At what temperature setting your heat gun is when post heating?
Reinout Van Vlaenderen this is on ckwraps.com
@@navfrancis4516, thank you, it's been a while ago since I had the honour to talk to a smart ass.
is not necessarily a matter of heat gun temp setting (a lot of installers use simple guns with just 3 settings low/med/high or a gas blow torch ) the temperature you should be concerned is the actual film surface. for stretching you simply feel the film getting softer and for post heating 80-90 celsius (measure it with a ir gun )
i hope this will help
@@mirondraghici5356 thanks. That makes sense.
@@reinoutvanvlaenderen720 use a temp gun, dont worry about heat gun temp.
What do u mean by recessed area????
Hey I’m In high school, I wanna either have my own shop for car wrapping or work for a business for car wrapping, Any tips on what class I should take or if I should learn about mechanical services
No classes that can be taken in school for this field of work! You just have to get hired in to a wrap/detail shop that does it and get some experience.
You can get a 3M certificate
Did you successfully start a business bro?
great video, can you wrap over a bed liner? My truck is comply rhino lined and I want to add mossy oak 3M vinyl to the rocker panel, thank you
I'm pretty sure you can't..rhyno liner is not flat so either it won't adhere or it would look like crap
@@motosapien2310 thank you
The surface needs to be smooth for the film to stick. Bed liner has too much roughness for sure.
I have had success in small areas going over bedliner with some good heat and some primer 94 in some areas. Problem is it is very hard for wrap to adhere to the rhino liner and you may not find it worth the time.
Which Brand film are you using please？
I'm about to wrap my car and would love help in the form of what kind of wrap is best to use I want the rose gold wrap
I keep hearing in wrap videos vivid this and vivid that so Im gonna guess vivid is the best. If you are going to wrap it your self Id advise using cheap china ebay wrap until you get good at it or you will just waste money. Also Rose gold sounds like a chrome wrap which is the hardest to do. Pay a professional to do it or you will just be throwing money away, all cromes turn white when stretched or heated even slightly, its really hard to do a wrap and almost impossible for any type of chrome unless you are very experienced. Good luck
I started with avery and it was actually not that bad for a first time so I can recommend this.
I used satin black and did a hard mercedes grill with that!
How would I be able to wrap over a rust proofed bottom side skirt? Would I have to remove the rustproofing in that area? How would I go about doing that?
Clean it up very well and you could use the primer 94. Don't over apply though. I have my wrap very slightly sit over my spray bedliner edges and the primer helps adhere vinyl to it.
Hey I have a question..I recently got my car wrapped & I wanna add a rear spoiler on my car ..the spoiler requires me to drill 2 small holes on the trunk lid ..would this harm the wrap?
I would lay some low tack blue painters tape covering about a 3-6 inches around the area you drill and take your time (drill periodically) to allow it to not get too hot. The tape coverage will also minimize hot metal flakes from landing on your wrap.
Wrap police has more contents on how film fail. I know you hated that page but i look at it in different way like its a reminder for me to always put the costumers interest first and never do a short cut.
What about if you have ceramic coating can I wrap on it ?
I doubt it
no you can't sir
What color was that jeep?
Can you do a taillight wrap for a 370z? I did mine myself and i have a lot of wrinkles in the boomerang shaped area....
Did u figure out how to do it? Have same issue now 😕
@@stephaniea3688 Nope, still looks sad. haha
Does temperature affect all films equally too during install?
I have some satin militare KPMF I am waiting to use when it warms up. KPMF say to install 21c to 24 c.
GTR-J post heat temperature is slightly different between brands, just double check with the manufacturer for proper temps
It's helps to use the film at room temperature or a bit warmer. Cold temps make it harder to stretch and could tear the vinyl. Doing it on hot days has some drawbacks too. Matte is very picky with a heat gun (glosses up) ,so heat carefully. Satin isn't as bad, but be modest when using the felt squeegee. Satin is my favorite to work with looks great!
Is that jeep wrapped? What color???
Looks like HoK candy apple paint
How you gonna love my comment and leave me hanging 😭. I need that color in my life.
Why don't u guys show us how to wrap a dispatch box
I really need that
And I have been looking for it everywhere
my first time mistakes :)
Must see video! 🤘🏼
Man....what color was that jeep?
Red Kevlar chrome
Do you have any videos on how to wrap tubing like a bicycle frame? Thanks
Look into using knifeless tape. Always try to overlap your seams to prevent better adhesion and reduce the wrap from pulling back.
You mention "atleast 70% isopropyl alcohol" can you use 99% or is that too much alcohol to use with vinyl?
the difference between 70 and 99 is the "aggressive"... you can use 99% too by right handling, but it maybe crack plastic and spot repair areas. 70% is more safer in right use.
Thanks♥️♥️♥️♥️
Can super glue be used?
Bro nooooo🤣🤣
What is the color name of the wrap on your jeep?
I’m not sure kuz I’m a viewer just like you but looks like a matte metallic charcoal. That’s the color I just ordered and it looks just like it. (But there are other colors similar so not 100%
@@dsciulli Thanks! He mentioned it in the video being a wrap he was demoing at some point I think
Also fails because every film has a factory prestretch so I can’t just push it in a recessed area if it’s aggressive . U need to heat the film and it will shrink then work it it. Never knew till inozetek taught me in their classes.
@Bill Rupp 50 years, sure bud
@Bill Rupp damn bro how old were you when you started???
Awesome video!
Has anyone ever had a reply from this guy CK?
Lots of replies
dang... i did not know that! thanks for the tip going to wrap the superstang in novemberish and love those tips thanks..
I fail in post heating 😅
It looks like this drive.google.com/folderview?id=1ERzvCDrSzdT3lrpD4VwatVumysc8ruCv
I love your videos, but I don’t understand anything you say, kkkk, I’m from Brazil, this one can put subtitles in Portuguese, I would appreciate it! congratulations on your work and q God continue to bless you
Is vivid bad ? I see everyone talk bad about it.
Bwahahaa love these failures like did ppl think wraps were permanent or something?? Bwahahaa
Lord what color is the car
My rv is fiberglass the wrap will stick
Seems like for all questions this guy wants you to just continue going from video to video for views. Not sure it helps to go to different videos instead of seeing it explained in one.
Number one reason your wrap failed - you did it yourself xD
