Another tip which I see way too many people miss is - any time you have to make a seam (like on a bumper) make sure the edge of the seam is pointing away from your eye. The edge of the vinyl should point down or inwards AWAY from the viewing angle. On multi-piece situations like bumpers - Inlays are done first so the vinyl can wrap over them and point away from your eye or if you need to do a seam at a body line, wrap from bottom to top so the edge of the vinyl is always pointing down. Makes a HUGE difference in the final product.
All’en I appreciate the advice in this video. Right to the point, no BS, and showing how to treat your customers with respect by doing it right the FIRST time. Thank you 🙏
Thais guy is so honest and genuine I love it. If anyone had any idea from the companies that damaged vans in the beginning. Oh I have stories.crazy ones insane actually what I went through when this shit first came out.
question: i seen someone wrap one of tbose sparkling carpet wrap, pre wrap then the sparkle glue. if u have rock chips, can u use a thick ppf to smooth it out then wrap it ?
I'm on a deep dive into this concept. I haven't started wrapping my car yet, but it's a good idea to get tips from different people because everyone has different experience.
Great tips! I'm going to roll counter clockwise and start at the ds fender every time! Also, I'm going to use backing from larger pieces to template smaller pieces. Your videos are edited almost as good as T. Macdonalds, maybe you should put out a wrap song.. Wrapping my car, raising the bar, looking brand new from near and from far...
thank you for this video, I have done some intensive research and no one has mentioned about directional wrap, unless I have not done enough research lol.
easy, well not exactly but for example, You do Driver side with arrows facing the front, you can continue the circle up over the hood and run it left or right. This way is not so drastic of a change for both fenders.
well the hood and some trunks wouldnt work going to the back. they need to have the arrows left to right because the hoods Mainly are wider than the vinyl roll. www.allencar.net

What about putting that certain adhesive on the edges ? I’ve seen some people do it, and some not. What do you recommend for someone first time attempting a hood or roof of a car ?
You seem like a pro... what is your opinion on wrapping 4 wheelers (ATV's)? In other words wrapping plastic... and if it's a good idea, what is a ball park estimate on what that would normally cost to have done? I have a Polaris 700 that has camo that has faded, and am looking for the best way to make this bad boy look good again!
inlay, You cant reasonably stretch the vinyl to get full coverage without risk of failure, so you look at the bumper in flat sections following body lines. This makes that impossible looking bumper very possible.
I’m having problem with the unpainted 2006 mustang bumper not sticking, do the bumper has to be painted to give the adhesive something to grab perhaps adhesive promoter etc 😣
Something doesn't make sense with #1. If you wrap front to back down the first side, then across the back and back to front on the other side, what do you do on the hood and trunk? Either way, you will have a big mismatch between the hood and trunk and one side of the car or the other. Wouldn't you do the bumpers bottom to top in the front and top to bottom in the back?
Or you can do both side same way and front top rear from front to back! Because if you turn around your bumper will be from left to right and your hood front to back it will not look good bumper and back same way as the hood and top always!!!
I always hate when I see a knife cutting the wrap on the car... I was a mechanic for years and I used to freak when I saw tint guys and wrapping guys doing that in our dealership. I was like DONT DO IT!

There's SOME nonsense though.
If you wrap the sides with the arrows going one direrection what way do you face the arrows on the hood , roof , trunk ? All towards trunk ?
Was going to ask the same question
easy, well not exactly but for example, You do Driver side with arrows facing the front, you can continue the circle up over the hood and run it left or right. This way is not so drastic of a change for both fenders.
Yes all the other panel should face towards the back if you started like he did

No problem. You may want ti look at our online classes for your reference when wrapping complex areas Www.allencars.net
What about putting that certain adhesive on the edges ? I’ve seen some people do it, and some not. What do you recommend for someone first time attempting a hood or roof of a car ?
Take a class is my top reccomendation
So if I’m wrapping my 350z I’m confused which direction to put the hood. It’s Deep space. Do I do it the same as the bumper or the driver fender?
The hood doesn't alter the direction

Yes you can wrap it but it maybe harder to maintain depending on thw Vinyl you use
@@AllenCars Thanks for the reply brother. My main concern is pressure washing it after mud riding all day 🤠
@@chrisa1125low low pressure, a pressure washer could force the edges to lift if there’s any gaps at all
Why not face all arrows the same way? Like having all arrows point towards the rear?

Something doesn't make sense with #1. If you wrap front to back down the first side, then across the back and back to front on the other side, what do you do on the hood and trunk? Either way, you will have a big mismatch between the hood and trunk and one side of the car or the other. Wouldn't you do the bumpers bottom to top in the front and top to bottom in the back?

Inlays are where you will wrap in a separate piece deep recessed areas. these areas will typically fail if you wrapped it with the whole bumper
Www.allencars.net
I appreciate the help fame hope u getting some rest too
Thanks man. We are definitely getting more rest too lol
This guy explains it pretty good.
We know people have these same problems. www.allencar.net
Or you can do both side same way and front top rear from front to back! Because if you turn around your bumper will be from left to right and your hood front to back it will not look good bumper and back same way as the hood and top always!!!
