Great job ! I worked with vinyl for over 30 years. There are so many types. Here's something you may not have known: The backing ( the slippery paper you throw away ) is run through what's called a release coater. Release is applied evenly on that backing. It then goes through a long ovens, temperature is about 250 degrees. The vinyl ( the face material ) is run through an oven @ about 225 degrees. That makes the vinyl softer and pliable. The backing then goes through an adhesive coater. The amount of adhesive applied is what's called a coating weight. The heavier the coating weight, the pricier the vinyl. It then goes through an oven again, then both the vinyl and backing are brought through a laminator. Once laminated, it transfer the adhesive to the vinyl. The standard widths of the vinyl are 54" or 60" wide. From there, it goes to a slitter, and is cut in designated widths that a customer has requested. There were four major manufacturers at one time. Avery, MACtac, Fassons and of course 3M. The thinner the vinyl the more brittle it is to work with. I wrapped my first car in 1988. People thought I had lost my mind. Until they saw the finished product. Ü Wrap on, Brother.

Hey thanks for the info, always learning. I do more calendered uv bus wraps and love pushing the vinyl past what data sheets say to do!
Hello Carolina,
I wish everyone that's really interested in wrapping could see the vinyl manufacturing process. It's an incredible process. Christian did get to see a little of the process, but because of rules of the vinyl manufacturing process, they don't want anyone to see how the ' sausage ' is made. If there's anyone that I would love to have seen the complete process, it's Christian. He'd have been very impressed. If you cut me I'd bleed blood, if you cut Christian, he's bleed vinyl. I hope Christian's honesty, hard work, knowledge and craftsmanship comes through to everyone. Christian's character and dedication to his craft are impeccable. On top of that he's just really a nice guy. I put Christian in that rare category of
" they don't make them like that anymore. " Thank you for writing, Carolina. Best of luck to you !
My best,
Scott
Thanks for the info. Keep grinding!!

I really like how you describe in detail what your doing while your doing it. This makes wrapping for first timers a lot easier
T;😢😮t😢 t5;,dtt😢 😮 t😮;😢 t. D; d 😮
ABSOLUTE RESPECT. Could tell you weren't keen on this job, but still gave it 110%
watching it all come together when you start tucking and trimming away the excess gets me all giddy and excited! I can't wait to try wrapping my wife's car soon!
You are a natural born teacher brotha! Just ordered wrap from Vivvid and your insta was on the packaging and I am so blessed from gleaning all your hard earned knowledge! What a fulfilling profession ya have there. You're a teacher and an Ar'Tist! Much love and I will share my wrap after it's done this weekend! Cheers brotha!
I'm Brazilian and I'm learning a lot from your videos. I work with automotive adhesives for 6 years, today I have my company and every day I discover new and technical things that are making my job much easier. Thanks for the knowledge and continue with your videos. One day I will go to your workshop to exchange knowledge. Good work.
Pretty amazing how the stuff returns to its original shape after being stretched and wrinkled and heated and cooled and heated again... and how the adhesive pretty much only sticks when you want it to. Much more forgiving than I would have guessed.
its forgiving and not at the same time, there is a fine line of limit .you can stress it and make it do things you wouldn't expect but it lasting, is a different story . fun stuff .
Its magic. Saw the bumper and it seems like there is no way.....and all of a sudden DONE !! The Wrap Magician
I get tired of being so low to the floor, so my goal is to start raising all vehicles up! Great watching you wrap! learned alot, long time fan.

Menuda vinilada!! Increíble trabajo!!😍😍
Great Job. Very amusing learning video. You know how to keep newbies interested in the subject. Amazing ! Than you for sharing. Appreciate this very much. Keep up the good work !
I like the way it looked at the beginning of the video... grey with the green accents.
I'll give you an A+. Excellent video! Well Explained and in depth.
Your Amazing Bro! My wife wants a wrap on her Smart Car!
All of the videos had 2 people working together. You did a great job by upload your video 👍
Very good job with such delicate vinyl
Christian your videos are tremendously helpful.
Very hands on and informative.
I feel other installers show you snippets of there work ie before, during and after.
All week I have sat for hours watching you work.
One question for you.
Do you go through a few heat guns?
As sometimes you can hear it bounce off the ground lol.
Keep them coming best videos on RUclips by far.
I go through my share of heat guns. When it comes to doing a good job or sacrificing a heat gun I'll take the good job over the heat gun
Just stumbled on this video series, when I saw you doing the rear subie trunk, I was like does he know what he's doing. After you had finished I thought WOW this guy is gifted for sure! I then watched a few more and have to say your a pleasure to watch, you seem down to earth and care about what you're doing a trait that hard to find sometimes. He the good work going A+!
Your work is amazing brother!!! Amazing!!!!
He's good if I didn't watch this video I would have thought it was another car great job dude !!!
This exacerbates my anxiety level lol
Excellent work man...good job
How did you do those corners under the headlight / fender if I may ask?
What kind of felt do you use on your squeegees and do they scratch the surface any? Thanks for all your hard work showing us how to wrap a vehicle.
James
Love your work
Been sitting here going through videos and I would have never guessed you were up north in Toronto after the video the other day talking about it being 95 out.
Seeing it go from a piece of vinyl draped on a hood to a second smooth skin is what does it for me
Brilliant video boss you have serious skills.
Hey man love the videos bro I've been subbed for quite awhile now and its amazing to see what you can do with these wraps...
And do you own the wrapping shop you're in or do you just work there?
We are now more then a year beyond when you posted this video. Can we see how the car looks now?
The client would need to bring the vehicle by on their time. If it ever comes by I will do a video
Great job 💪💪💪 thank you very much for your vedio lessons
Excellent job buddy 👏 👍🏻
nice video!! do you have any video wrapping with teckwrap vinyl? thanks
Pretty much my favorite new channel to binge on. Thanks brother!
the fact that this professional appears to have a struggle just shows how difficult wrap install can be. patience and technique is key.
the beauty of it is how bad it looks at first, and how well you can perfect it when its done .
what is the protective tape you are cutting on? I totally agree on the "wrips easy" 3M
love this video great job👍
“Just so we can get in there DEEP” and then he held himself 😂🤣 Am i the only one with dirty a mind???
Was gonna paint but wow!
Awesome!! I love your videos man. How long will this wrap last on that bumper?
The best ! CK. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Great vid bro, may i ask you what would be the best brand and black shade color for a white vehicle? I have white charger 392 and how difficult would be the hood wrap for a first timer like me
Awesome work bro!
Thanks for the video.
Which cutter do you use ?
Man U make this look easy
i just saw this exact car at the chicago auto show today in that same color green. dont know if it was wrapped or factory paint but i think it was paint.
GREAT JOB BROTHER
Holy Crap!!! Do you sell a box or two of patience to be able to do that?
Great job! Thanks for the videos!
very good job
Looks like a good shop. That shade of green is too Xmas for me but it still looks good.
Wow!!! Che spettacolo. Fantastico colore. Fantastico lavoro.
Good job. My only concern was the blade on that grill!!
Hey do you have a video on the best heat gun. preferably the ones that dont auto shut off or auto cool after using it.
Gonna be doing this on gravel✌🏽
You are really amazing thank you
You make this look so easy. I've wrapped some of my cars before but with cheap ebay noname.. Got to redo a rear bumper and was about to pay for 3M (Newer 2080) have you changed your mind on the new 3M or still find Vvivid more forgiving..
Thams up 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 Khalid from Saudi Arabia
incredible !!
Can you do a video on how to print the car wrap and what the best equipment is ?
CK Wraps, can you tell me about how much Vivid wrap I would need to cover a 2007 Dodge Charger? I really like the Vivid brand. I watch you use it all the time and it's a very forgiving wrap to work with and even a novice such as myself should be able to apply it. Please include any extra you recommend as I plan to wrap the entire car from bumper to bumper.
This looks like a pain in the butt... 😝 I wrap buses.. I’m so ready to start learning on other vehicles.
Great job my man
How are you man, how much for the same wrap if I want it for 2013 mustang?
Speechless with appreciation for you sharing. Thank you. Chris.
You are the best man, honestly best RUclipsr their is
Thanks man 👊
How did you keep from getting the glue lines at the headlight area when you stopped and left it? Then came back? With 3m id have had a glue line galor right there i feel
My favorite color!!!
Bro how are you going to look at the phone ringing and not answer?? It was me, and I'm watching you...🤣🤣 JJ, jj 🤣🤣🤣🤣 But seriously though, people don't realize how serious this wrap thing is. It can be time consuming to get it RIGHT!! And I like your work! Very detailed. That bumper would have scared some off! Awesome job!! Oh yeah, and I subbed!👍👏👏👏
Great job 👌👌
Great Job💯👍
Good job 👍👏
