Yup, it definitely works. The piece of vinyl that connects the base of the pillar to the corner of the hood looks great. The who thing would have looked odd without it. A+ on that solution you came up with.
I've been in the auto restoration business for 37 years, IMO paint reflectivity will be at a higher level until the wrap technology catches up. I'm an auto painter/body man, and I personally like them both for different reasons.
I was a Property & Casualty agent for years. If you have a show car, especially older, you can get a stated value policy from reputable insurance cos. It is worth it if you have a sentimental ride or one you sunk in alot of work and/or money into.
I've got TeckWrap on both my car and my motorscooter, the latter is which I park uncovered and it still looks new. I have no idea what that black gunk is on the roof there. That said, this 2-tone fix looks beautiful!
That's been exposed to the sun without ceramic coat . Here in Arizona regular paint looks like that on top panels. Looks better how it came out in the end congrats.
Nice video, I've been watching for awhile now and have a few questions and would like your opinion on. 1. what would be the best type of wrap to purchase as a first time diy wrap? 2. how much wrap would I need to do a aw11 mr2? 3. would you recommend I even try? Thanks alot!
@@ParadoxTheWrapper I was thinking of getting that true blood red gloss aluminum vinyl wrap off tekwrap, aswell as some carbon fiber to do accents with. Would that be user friendly for a 1st timer?
Just saw his Instagram wanted to see how the car looked in the daytime his wrapped didn't end holding up feel really bad for the dude's car.... he ended up getting a different project car
I'd have had you carbon out the mirrors too if it was my whip. Maybe I missed something, but did you guys not notice the top of his spoiler being fucked up too?
Love that idea Hey if you dont have the bread and you want to look fresh you have to make do and you did that awesome just gave me an idea for my 10th gen si
I got 5k for my first sw20 mr2 when some lady smashed the door and buckled my fender I’d send you pictures if your interested paradox but yeah she had full coverage and here insurance company luckily gave me a good amount for it
i picked up my VR4 as a salvage and i'm almost ready to start dealing with cosmetic issues. i have a lot of my clear coat pealing and there are some dings that have chipped through the paint. the main question that i have is what kind of prep work do i need to do in order to do a decent wrap? would patching it with rattle can paint and clear coat work being that i wont even see the colors once i put the wrap on?
@WeAreWatching Yu well if the cops run the tags and see it was registered as red and the car is blue they might give you shit for false info. Id atleast ask ur town dmv or something to be sure
HEY MAN! I have a question about wrapping I have a 350z and i just bought a rocket bunny kit and wanna wrap it but don't know how much wrap I should get to do my whole car. Please someone anyone tell me how much wrap I need to get to do my whole car. _ _ x _ _
Raccoon if you plan on wrapping it yourself that will be a terrible choice as a first time wrapper. But It’s teckwrap mystic chrome series, from teckwrap.com.
David Nguyen oh yeah I did it on my Instagram. Didn’t do a youtube on it back then. I prefer to not do SUV and trucks because it’s just too big for one person
Man how the hell do you do this stuff by yourself, i have experience working in body shops and on cars a lot but i tried doing my hood in carbon as well(also 8th gen civic) and the amount of creases and bubbles was stupid. I spent HOURS trying to work it all to just rip it off and throw it away the next morning. Very frustrating considering i basically balled up a 50 dollar bill and threw it in the trash. Not sure how all you guys on youtube work with this stuff so easily. I think ill stick to painting because i know it works
Thats crazy man you got some skills. Guess im just old skool and would rather paint instead of trying this again. Too expensive to just be experimenting with, i just find it very hard to work with especially not having an extra set of hands to help me out. I tried doing a partial peel of the backing paper and slowly work it down but found that harder to do so i went for it and peeled the whole back then just was a nightmare trying to get the stuff to not wrinkle which youd think on an 8th gen hood wouldnt be an issue but it was for me. I was using vvivid gloss carbon vinyl and the clear gloss coat ended up peeling off when i touched another piece to it because i got a 2.5x5ft roll and didnt take into account the corners of the hood so i had to cut two pieces for that which went great but the big piece was just ridiculous to work with.
@@ParadoxTheWrapper after my second attempt with a larger sheet it came out a little better than my first attempt but still looks terrible. Truely stumped as to how to lay this stuff down flat. Especially on the front corners of the 8th gen civic hood
I dig it that 2 tone is sick

That's awesome - buuuuuuuut
on my VR4, I'd go the extra and get the qtr panels redone - hellz - maybe even just change color for fun at that point.

I like how it looks faded in like that.
Damn. Sold my 8th gen today.
But I picked up a mrk3 mr2
Love that car. Make sure you clear out the precats
Great job on this, I really like how the car turned out. Did you ever find out what that roof and trunk damage was from? Looked like sun damage?
Luv the way u saved that civic. Man 👍 . if i was living near u i wud deffo have u 2 Rap my ride Bro 🤙🙌🤙

That's slick how you did them pillars in black that's tight 👍🏿

It looks dope like that and has some character and some flare with the black
Bad ass, really good idea. You are the man. Another awesome job👍❗❗❗❗
You did a great job on the stained green car 👍🏻
Think it looks better with the gloss black top! Clean work always!🔥👍🍻
👊 thanks for the support!
Nice video, I've been watching for awhile now and have a few questions and would like your opinion on. 1. what would be the best type of wrap to purchase as a first time diy wrap? 2. how much wrap would I need to do a aw11 mr2? 3. would you recommend I even try? Thanks alot!
Thanks for watching! You should try it for sure. I would get the standard 60 feet of Avery or Teckwrap
@@ParadoxTheWrapper I was thinking of getting that true blood red gloss aluminum vinyl wrap off tekwrap, aswell as some carbon fiber to do accents with. Would that be user friendly for a 1st timer?
That actually looks a lot better than the 1 tone 100%
that is good job yo you a genius ✌🏼👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Colors like that one are carried thru House of Kolor, CA. an Dupont, North America but like u said its about $5-7k or more
You can wrap raw plastic?
Just saw his Instagram wanted to see how the car looked in the daytime his wrapped didn't end holding up feel really bad for the dude's car.... he ended up getting a different project car
SIK!!! Great fix! Looks good. Getting down
I'd have had you carbon out the mirrors too if it was my whip.

How much wrap is needed for an 08 civic sedan?
Typical 8th gen problem lol
Id be happy with that fix up and spend the money id save on painting celebrating 👍
Chimney Doctor - Sweep, Repair, Parts right?!
What did you spray on the front bumper and hood before the wrap? BTW your way of solving the damaged top was perfect. Car looks great!
Soapy water first then 70% rubbing alcohol and water solution
Set up is sic!
I really like the two tone effect 👍🏽👍🏽
Paradox I would've had you put the carbon viber on the trunk and wing until I got tje other one.
I like how it flows you did an awesome job bro them body lines tho
Kyle Rodriguez thanks! I didn’t know if it would work

@WeAreWatching Yu well if the cops run the tags and see it was registered as red and the car is blue they might give you shit for false info. Id atleast ask ur town dmv or something to be sure
