Great video! Just in time for me to do my Chevy emblems. I watch your video before my wraps. I’m still n amateur but so far good work as I’m told by my family Thank you
Late but for anyone reading in future I tried on my Mazda’ unless you are amazing with vinyl it’ll never look good lol’ bubbles tears fingers 🤦🏻♂️ I have in and did black plasti dip and top coated it’ still Holding strong 3 years later Watch a few vids there is a process like all painting’ 4-5 coats of plasti dip and it perfectly peels off around logo’
Hi Christian!🙋🏻♂️ You're the man - love this one! I'm familiar with vvivid, however, I couldn't find a way to get in contact with Avery Dennison to buy their vinyl wraps- I'm from Ottawa Ontario.
When you are watching a pro at work it becomes so relaxing. Love the video and was wondering. Can I use this video for my compilation? You will get fully credited! thank you
Can’t believe that I found you guys on RUclips right after I sent you an email for a quote on my new Benz. You’re up in Canada right? I‘m in upstate NY about 2 hours away.
So after watching a bunch of CKs awesome videos I got me about $100 worth of vinyl wrap including tools. I went out tried to tackle it with my truck and failed miserably. I realize I can’t do this shit , it’s hard as fuck, and I took it to Atlanta custom wrap and had them do it and it’s beautiful.
Its something you make mistakes early on and learn how to apply later and not easy as it seems. Im on my second car wrap and prob wasted about $150 worth of material just from too much stretch or manufacturing defects. Out of 8 vvivid rolls 5 arrived defected with damage scratches or whatever at beginning of roll, usually throwing away first 2x5 feet of material. Also all my bad rolls were shipped in plastic bag no inner cardboard core, whereas perfect rolls were in blue/purplish cellophane wrap and 100% clean. Trying to determine where those vvivid rolls come from, perhaps canada??
Love watching your channel. Very informative. One question though, is it necessary to over laminate the car wrap wether wrapping a whole car or just the emblems? Or can it be left as is with just the vinyl wrap?
I'm not sure what your trunk area looks like, but I just hyperdipped my E coupe's badges & emblem today & had to mask off the entire rear end almost up to the rear windows. I know it wipes off easy, but the overspray was insane. Wasn't expecting half that much
Every time I wrap it keeps pulling back I’m trying to practice on my car a lot I really don’t know why It keeps putting back maybe I’m over stretching... sometimes I feel like I’m not stretching at all and it’s pulling back still
Are you using high quality wrap? Some emblems you just cannot wrap because of the way they are shaped. Are you using too much heat? Lots of factors and I can tell you from my experience that wrapping is one of the things that takes a lot of skill and patience to master. Hope you managed to get it👍
@@xckjyt yeah most likely too much heat if it's pulling back, crumbling up, or shrinking on you. You can't leave the heat gun (or hair dryer) in 1 spot for too long & only really need short bursts. I'm far from a master, but have noticed the heat creates that extra form-fitting bond in the blink of an eye. You also may be cutting too close to the edge & not leaving enough material behind to shrink when heated.
I have learned a lot from your videos You Attaching links to all the tools that you using But you forgot about one thing which is very very important snap off blade bank disposal case Can you please share your secret which one you are using Thanks
It looks like he removed the emblem twice, once to lay tape and once to remove. Those tape layers are way too clean to try and precise cut into that. And its time consuming. Notice he frame skipped that part starting to take tape off 😂. He mentions wrapping without removing emblem so he showed it that way
Damn I was going to ask about the Audi emblem, did you happen to record n post it?? I switched mine out but would still like to see it. If it’s available obviously… Mercedes emblem looks killer🤘🏻🤘🏻♠️♠️
How about wrapping the car, but removing and plastidipping the amblem? Have you tried? I'm too OCD for "so many" pieces on that amblem. Would it pull back/shrink over time on such a small area?
Honest question - would a GMC tailgate emblem be a piece-of-cake for you to delete the chrome around the edges? I’m looking to do that, and if in your opinion that’s easy, then I’ll give it a shot.
Really nice.. but wouldn't have been just as sturdy on a hard surface.. like a cutting board nd the heat on the car paint... the blade really makes be nervous on the car... idk
The only downside to what you did is that you pressed the emblem back into place while the vinyl was still hot, and left your fingerprints impressed into the vinyl. That said, I assume you re-did that for the customer. Pro work, otherwise, C!
Ive installed cheetah more than any other material bc of its popularity and personally I say its 100% legit and you will be satisfied with it. Theres better material out there that could have better results such as avery or 3m but i still recommend cheetah for more budget friendly full wraps
@@dorito7480 you’re a life saver bro, i’ve been debating either doing it or not.. Yeah, it’s significantly much cheaper so I wanna give it a try & see how it does!
If I painted cars and this was a paint channel then I probably would have painted it. However, I can wrap it faster (no need for cure times) and we can also remove it to restore it back to the original.
Thinking about wrapping my F250 front fender badges. They have small (3/4" tall and 3/8" wide) letters noting the trim level. Any suggestion for how to press into such small spaces? I assume use Avery and warm it up a touch, then use a detail tool to press into the corners while warm?
Plasti dip my friend’ it will peel perfectly at final step and looks great if u do it right’ vinyl wrapping tiny letters etc never gunna look good unless u have a machine to do it perfectly’
@@joshymcdaniel9233 I literally wrapped them yesterday in vinyl. Couldn't get the letters to press in, but the bulk of the wrap turned out fine. That is until the temp dropped over night and the vinyl just peeled right off. So yeah, Plastidip FTW.
does anyone know where you can get black chrome lettering "civic" for the honda civic's? I am going to attempt the logo myself but the lettering looks like it would be just to much. get video.
@@hassanhasan5703 Actually if the layers are thick enough (4-5 layers of PD) it will come off as if it were vinyl. Although you are right, normally the finish is matte, you have two options to make it glossy, either apply 1-2 coats of glossifier on top of the matte or ... use the (new) Hyperdip black which has a gloss finish. I've done my emblem like this more than a year ago with no change in color or any other problems since then. I find that it's an amazing alternative for more complex emblems. You just have to be careful how you apply it and be aware of the temperature of the environment you are working in (which applies to vinyl as well). In the end it's just a matter of preference of vinyl vs. Plastidip, each having their own pros and cons.
@@hassanhasan5703 You must be dumb. Plastidip peels right off bro. Go do some research. No need to wrap small parts, they don't hold well. DIP it instead.
@@sharkparty1027 you are absolutely correct. Plasti dip comes right off no matter how thick or thin the coat is. It preserves the emblems or rims and is easy to take off. Easier than wrap. It took me about 20 minutes to takeoff my head wrap and only one minute to takeoff plasty dip.
@@Cliffhanger_MFC If you look at the wrap, you can see that it is going to start to peel. Also, the prep work and time is not worth it. No one ever said, "oh I can tell you wrapped the car, but it sucks because you dipped the emblem." Never happens. No one cares. Work smarter, not harder.
This is like the Bob Ross of car wrapping ☺️
You make it look so easy. Great job.
U can to with practice...
Sounds like Bob Ross painting video.
“Just gonna give a nice little cut right here, nice and gentle”
Least it's not trees 🤣
Omg! I said the same thing!
I know it is kinda randomly asking but does anyone know of a good site to stream new tv shows online ?
@Titus Amos I would suggest flixzone. Just google for it :)
@Huxley Jaxtyn Definitely, I've been using FlixZone for since march myself =)
Great video! Just in time for me to do my Chevy emblems. I watch your video before my wraps. I’m still n amateur but so far good work as I’m told by my family
Thank you
IM NEVER GOING TO DO THIS BUT I KEEP WATCHING BECAUSE ITS AMAZING - GREAT WORK
Dude, so helpful. You have taught me everything I know, and this stuff is popping right now in upstate NY. Thanks bro. Seriously
Best viynl wrapper on RUclips.
Love these vids, it's like educational ASMR.
I watch Gibi for ASMR. 😂👍
Great video the “relief cut” was pure experience thankyou ! GREAT VIDEO from a craftsman
Thank you! I wrapped two of my cars, and the third one on the way.
Congrats! That's my dream.
@@leojohnwayne1422 Amazon has the 3M vinyl
Amazing man. You’re inspiring. I’ve wanted to jump into the vinyl game for over a decade and now I think I may.
Really bro 10 years? What are you waiting for just do it 😂
I’ve been watching your videos all winter and I’m finally wrapping my charger now that it’s warm.
Glad I saw this..I was gonna be a few days and a few rolls of vinyl in..I thought I should do the emblem in one piece.. thanks a million!
Great work. Been watching your vid's for a few month's and all the tip's have helped me improve wrapping my own bit's.
I thought "hey! Yeah!" ...then I quickly realized that my Buick emblem is not as simple as a Benz emblem
When I did my Buick emblem I let the heat gun do most of the work for me I also did both part at once and it turned out 😍
Lol I'm bout to do my BMW
Tried doing my VW … I ended up spraying it lol
Late but for anyone reading in future I tried on my Mazda’ unless you are amazing with vinyl it’ll never look good lol’ bubbles tears fingers 🤦🏻♂️
I have in and did black plasti dip and top coated it’ still
Holding strong 3 years later
Watch a few vids there is a process like all painting’
4-5 coats of plasti dip and it perfectly peels off around logo’
U make this look WAAAYYYY easier than it actually is. Wish I had ur experience.
Hi Christian!🙋🏻♂️
You're the man - love this one!
I'm familiar with vvivid, however, I couldn't find a way to get in contact with Avery Dennison to buy their vinyl wraps- I'm from Ottawa Ontario.
Chill dude. You are doing a great job. No need to med "shaking" I am a wrapper as well.
When you are watching a pro at work it becomes so relaxing. Love the video and was wondering. Can I use this video for my compilation? You will get fully credited! thank you
Super easy emblem to do. Need to do something harder, like the VW one.
Really learning a lot from your videos one thing I wondered is how you deal with vehicles with the parking sensors on the bumpers?
Wax pencil ✏would make the cuts so easy. I don't know how you pull that up if it was down with double sided tape(?)
Jared Padalecki wrapping cars now? Neat. Joke obviously, but I've been obsessed with these videos lately.
Bruh you been hitting the gym more? Bulking up. Thanks for sharing too my man.
I'd love to see this on a Lexus emblem. Thank you!
The Toyota emblem also.
Is cricut vinyl appropriate for emblem wrapping? I’d really like to try with a matte pink.
What would be the benefits of wrapping the emblem as opposed to painting?
Can’t believe that I found you guys on RUclips right after I sent you an email for a quote on my new Benz. You’re up in Canada right? I‘m in upstate NY about 2 hours away.

I would be fascinated to see the front emblem if it's the fully 3D (not radar) version. Did my front and looks like asshlole 😂😭
This is a perfect video.
Lord bless you CK man ... Sorry I ain't been in touch brother ... Been super tied up CK ... Love u buddy 💝👍
great video!!
How much should you be paying for a chrome delete?
CK, freaking awesome. I can’t believe how easy you make it look. I will continue to pay Atlanta custom Wraps to do my wrap projects.
Love watching your channel. Very informative. One question though, is it necessary to over laminate the car wrap wether wrapping a whole car or just the emblems? Or can it be left as is with just the vinyl wrap?
If it's a custom printed wrap then it needs a laminate. Most premade colors are already protected.
Hyperdip all day long is the way to do this. Takes 5 mins, no taping off, lasts forever 👍🏻
But its matte
I'm not sure what your trunk area looks like, but I just hyperdipped my E coupe's badges & emblem today & had to mask off the entire rear end almost up to the rear windows.
I know it wipes off easy, but the overspray was insane. Wasn't expecting half that much
A freaking magician!
Was the film used Avery Dennison SW900?Great video!
And what if the emblem is attached with double stick tape and can't be moved out slightly?
Thank you
Great , let's see you do a Lexus rear emblem :)
I did two of my Infiniti emblems.........guess i should have done two pieces. 4 years later the corners are popping out.
thanks for all your vids.
Did you happen to make a video when you did the Audi emblem?
Thanks 🥇
Great job nice video 🤙🤙
Nice tutorial!

Always a solid job
You have to charge at least $50 to do this, doesn't seem worth it when a new black emblem is like $9
But people probably pay him to do a chrome delete on the entire car and not only the emblem
My cars new black emblem costs about £35. Wrapping it will cost me less than £5.
I have learned a lot from your videos You Attaching links to all the tools that you using But you forgot about one thing which is very very important
snap off blade bank disposal case
Can you please share your secret which one you are using
Thanks
Great work! Super clean 👍
love it
What is a good price range of wrapping emblem? I did an Audi was a pain in the but.
Did you tape under the Benz circle or did you exacto cut the tape inside?
It looks like he removed the emblem twice, once to lay tape and once to remove. Those tape layers are way too clean to try and precise cut into that. And its time consuming. Notice he frame skipped that part starting to take tape off 😂. He mentions wrapping without removing emblem so he showed it that way
Excellent but do the outside(ring) first makes life easier

How about wrapping the car, but removing and plastidipping the amblem? Have you tried? I'm too OCD for "so many" pieces on that amblem. Would it pull back/shrink over time on such a small area?
for this do you use dry application vinyl or the heat activated?
How does vinyl wrap on emblems hold up through automatic car washes?
Honest question - would a GMC tailgate emblem be a piece-of-cake for you to delete the chrome around the edges? I’m looking to do that, and if in your opinion that’s easy, then I’ll give it a shot.
👍
What happens when you wax the car and wipe of with o cloth?
How much use hot temperatures of hot gun machine tool for control normal hot?
Really nice.. but wouldn't have been just as sturdy on a hard surface.. like a cutting board nd the heat on the car paint... the blade really makes be nervous on the car... idk
Is there anything that can't be wrapped?
Excellence 👍👍👍👍👍
The only downside to what you did is that you pressed the emblem back into place while the vinyl was still hot, and left your fingerprints impressed into the vinyl. That said, I assume you re-did that for the customer. Pro work, otherwise, C!
1st time its out in the sun they would disappear..
So in this case would you still post heat or is that not necessary because there wasn’t enough of the material stretched?
Say do you know of a source of the same thin film only clear translucent or like clear Chameleon film?
Great job, what about durability?
Question bro is all the wrap papers are the same or just the vivid is good enough to maneuver they way you do it ?
Any recommendations for the Holden lion emblem?
thanks alot
Wrap and Audi Badge - then I'll be impressed :P
I've wrapped one before in Hexis chrome
Can you show how to wrap front bumper grill?
Yea, that video will be on the website
Why not do it with knife lees tape instead of guessing where to overlap 😬
Im wanting to wrap my scatpack in gloss sandstorm, do you think cheetahwrap should be good? Or do you recommend another brand instead.?

I second this, cheetah has some solid colors. Easy to work with, does have to be relatively warm about 69-72 degrees
@@Ericegen awesome! For sure will be giving Cheetah a try! Thanks!
Hy please tell me how many degrees do you use the gun? Thank You
If you remove the emblem, Why don't paint it and reinstall?
If I painted cars and this was a paint channel then I probably would have painted it. However, I can wrap it faster (no need for cure times) and we can also remove it to restore it back to the original.
How does it hold up to pressure washers?
Are you in Texas. 🙏
No he lives in Canada
How did you wrap that chrome bar on the trunk?
Beast!
Respect for you doing this man but ever since Hyper Dip from Platp dip came out it is so much easier and it looks insanely good.
Does anybody knows what vinyl brand are they using?
He likes to use vvivid, and avery dennison. Idk which one this specific one is tho
This is Avery Obsidian black, he mentions it at the beginning of the video

Why don’t you just remove the emblem and wrap it after that
theres no way i can do this with a audi badge.....ill just spray paint it haha
Seems like it would be easier to plasti dip the emblems. Great work though.
And easier to buy the $10 black version of the emblem lol
O, I would suggest to people like me to plasti dip the emblems.
