Don't mean to be the old fart in the comment section..... I was doing full wraps with words and logos that had to be level on winston cup cars and the car haulers, befor the air release tech. Now any swinging tool bag can look like a hero.
yep no skill required
I used to cut down trees with an axe, now any fool with a chainsaw can do it.
I doubt most people could do this perfectly, even after this beautiful presentation.
That is why people that could build a 200mph cup car brought them to us back then. Now alot is done in house
I was sending messages to people on foot, sometimes on horseback riding for days between cities. Now any fool with a phone can look like the pony express.
The one thing I admire about this guy is that he stated that he doesn't turn down a job after three shops turned the customer down. He found a way and did quality work. Good video bro.
Yeah, what sucks is I have this truck and will be attempting to do my lights myself.
@@Cliffhanger_MFC just take your time with it and be patient. Make sure to yous a good brand like Vvivid
@@moe1547 I took my time driving to Atlanta Custom Wraps and had them do it 😂
And on top of that, low-key says “be done in 45 minutes”
“I’m not saying I’m a master”...are you kidding me? You’re the freakin’ Yoda of wrapping.
Unbelievable work! I've watched probably 12 of your videos and have been working at tinting every reflector and light on my Mustang Mach-e with the exception of the headlights. Those I will do in a few days. I've learned as I've gone along but I feel like you've taught me a new skill that I can share with my family and friends. Thank you so much.
I bought some of this wanting to do my headlights and taillights but was told by a friend that in PA they enforce lighting law's heavily. So instead I decided to use it on the chrome trim on my car and it actually looks amazing.
That is true, my lights are blacked out on my charger in NY, the only time I've ever gotten harassed about it is when I cross the border into PA
jhoppy18 I live in PA and i kid you not that i swear we are one of the hardest states to pass emissions and anything else car related.
don198769 pics?
*PA is an absolute ass buster when it comes to car regulations.*
don198769 they certainly do. Joey mod your headlights. Thats what i did and they turned out great. Looking differently dark from different angles
Thanks for all your vids! I just finished wrapping the lights on my Model S after watching your work about 20 times. A bit of a learning curve working with the material, but all your advice helps a lot and by the 3rd piece I felt like I really had the hang of it.
I also have a new respect for car designers, there's so many subtle shapes that get overlooked.
3-4 shops turn it down and you nail it with ease!!! We should call you "Wrap Master C".
why would a shop turn it down?
Could be a technical thing like he said: couldn't be done well with a wet application
Could be that they didn't want to risk liability for applying illegal tint, some shops won't tint windows beyond what is road legal for the same reason.
@Villain Of Brandon, some clients actually use the '' I asked for 5%, they made it 25% at the shop'' excuse, and for the life of me I have no idea why they do it...douche move.
angel because it's illegal
@@angelvigilante82 shops turn these down because that shit pills off after a few months that and people complain. My company used to do them and clear bras and we quit two years back because the products doesn't stick to plastic good at all. We went through five manufacturing companies.
Spray foam glass cleaner works really well for prepping surfaces. Much less aggressive. I'm an automotive collision painter and I'm looking to get into wraps. It's very similar steps to prepping cleaning and masking a car for paint. Love these videos, its giving me the extra nudge to git it a try.
Christian, you're amazing dude!
You're the only wrapper on RUclips that I'll watch. Your knowledge and techniques are second to none! Keep up the good work brother.
I tried this on a ford and failed miserably. I tried again a couple hours later and it was much better but not perfect. Im hoping 3rd time is a charm. Great talent shown in this presentation!
So many of you are crying about it not bring legal or why tint the lights... As far as it being illegal I'm sure just like MANY other shops they put illegal tint on cars/trucks all the time. They turned this one down because of the difficulty. As far as why tint the lights... who cares. It's what the customer wants. It's not your truck so don't worry about it. That's why he's the guy making the money. Excellent work. Great video.
Just finished doing my 2022 F150 Powerboost. Your video saved my ass and a shit load of money. Took me 3 times to do the first light….the key being heat control and not over stretching. It’s not an easy headlight to do but watching how you handled the lifted plastic for the turn signals was 100% “stone cold” helpful. BTW..you are a master at this but more important an excellent teacher.
Best video yet! I think I now understand the theory of no tension. Anchor to the body before stretching and make sure you have extra product around the edges to release.
"Is it legal?... nope."
LOL, nicely done bro.
Arkast off road use of course 😂
In that jurisdiction, he's way more likely to be ticketed for the license plate cover (a lot of people in that province put covers on, even clear ones, to protect their reg plates as they are made with the durability of tissue paper in a light drizzle, yet, clear plates are contrary to the HTA/obstructing view of plate: $100 ticket, or so).
Also, he's a Firefighter. A Constable who tickets a Firefighter for something like that is a right dick.
Probably why the other shops didn’t wanna do it
@@ubosmash360 pretty sure he said it was hot in canada. therefore, not florida
@@ubosmash360 Toronto Canada
Main take away: I like this guys passion for what he's doing. He will succeed at anything with his attitude.
this job would be a nightmare I sweat when i put my phone screen on
Hey bud!.. Well I'd have to say your a pro. I followed your link bought the tint followed all your steps and failed twice 😂
I'm not one to give up so will give it a 3rd try tomorrow.
Keep up the good work!
Bro, watched your video when I wrapped my headlights!! Litterally ONLY video that actually gave good instructions on how to tint. Never tinted, wrapped anything in my life!! And Chevy Tahoe have same strange headlight shape as these, 5 companies in town turned me down, figured fuck it do it myself only be out $ for product!! It wasnt this video I watched, a little car was what you were doing. BUT man 3 months later still holding up, did my 3rd break light on the Tahoe and it was so easy after watching your videos!! Still having trouble with the 17 Tahoe tails, due to so much bending but think I just need to cut out bigger pieces to work!! Awesome videos man, keep it up!!🤙
Great work CK, look amazing.
why do you not have a wooden stool, drill a hole in the middle, slightly larger than the mouthpiece of the heat gun, then you do not have to take it off the ground every time.
This is what I did, and it saves you a lot of bend work, and you have the heat gun immediately at hand.
It's just an Idea.
Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much for your video! It helped alot, I just finished wrapping my husband's truck lights and surprised him with it. 😊
Man, that is crazy how good it looks! I am genuinely impressed!
People are missing the point here, you handle that tint with ease. Air release, fart release, whatever release. Thing is this stuff is sticky and will stick to itself in an instant. You Sir, nailed it!
Love the quality work!.. it’s so stressful dealing with shops who don’t care.
I admire anyone who has mastered their craft, no mater what the craft. Nice vid.
I have a 2005 Nissan X-Trail with a similar bulge to the headlight. It's on the top, but now I know it is at least possible to tint it. Thanks for the video.
I just bought the Vivid hex dark tint for my headlights and tail lights for my 2020 F 150 and I am so glad that you did this truck to help me.
I can see am watching this 3 years later but it's still an awesome job even if it was today
I like people who do videos like this. I don't know why it was in my suggested video feed, but it's cool.
Dude ur the man. I’ve gotten so many ideas for my 2018 f150. Didn’t even know about wrapping until I watched ur videos. Keep it up brutha!!!!
Thanks for this video. Just purchased my 2020 F150 in oxford white. It was a little too shiny for me. I have done a few vinyl jobs doing lettering and such, but never did a wrap. Thought "what the hell, I can try that." Came out great. So good I decided to do the tail lights too. Truck looks great with a little less shine to it.
"Is it legal? NOPE!" Hahahahah. Story of my life.
I respect everyone's opinion but there is no doubt that it looks freaking awesome after all and it will protect the headlights from all the elements they are exposed too on the every day use, great job dude!!!
My old boss NEVER turned down a job either. It was pretty tough sometimes. But he always said "nothings impossible, it just costs more". Which meant to me, that it was his chance to earn more money while mastering his craft. Lol
Most satisfying feeling ever when your trimming with the back of the blade just gliding so smoothly
chill vid casual DYI not scripted at all 21:31 easy to follow need more DYI's like this
At first I thought this sounded dumb.. .but then I remember getting blinded a few times and I think this is awesome...Good Work by the way. Looks great.
Challenge: 2018 toyota camry tail light.
I just did a bunch of work and had success thanks to your channel. However, nothing on your channel has prepared me for my camry's tail lights. I've failed with 2 16"×48" rolls of this tint. Thank you for the vids man! You do great work. Please take the challenge and post a video!
"Is it legal?" 'NOPE' lol thanks for adding this in. A lot of people lie or are just uninformed, I've noticed, and it's much better to know ahead of time than to trust someone just trying to make a buck.
You're like a surgeon with that blade. Awesome job!
Excellent video, Really helped out being the first time to wrapping my headlights. I hope my turns out as well as yours did. Many thanks
Wow. It looks perfect. Like it came from the factory from the end results. Excellent job
A little caution to you for future customer complaints. We used a thick laminex brand on many installs. Stuff was like 12 mil I think. Popular with the mustang's. But we had customers calling us saying their lenses cracked and wanted warranty. Anyways we found That the issue was they installed aftermarket HIDs which Burn at a higher temperature than factory. The tint would trap that heat and the crack factory glass light lenses. Just a heads up incase this issue happens to someone else.
People saying these are too dark, you are all acting like its painted black, its not even a really dark tint, looks smoke to me, pull your pacifier out and stop crying like babies. Its amazing looking and it does make the whole front end look way more aggressive.
When I first saw your video of tinting tail lights I went and bought some, tinted my dads suburban then my moms Durango. Then a week ago my ram. Love your videos CK!
o HITMAN14 o how hard is it would you say?
So before watching your video I was never a fan of tinted lights. Mostly because I always thought of just the completely blacked out ones that I almost rear end because you cant see anything from them. After seeing the vvivid light smoke application on the 18-19 f150 headlight I have a new thought of them and ordered the tint and will be giving it a try. If all goes well I will try and get a video of the 2nd light. Thank you for the video and inspiration to try some cheap mods!
I like this dudes wrap tint videos, he's really graphic, thorough and Smoove... I don't have any experience, but was able to do a pretty good job on my second try I admit, it takes mad practice and technique..but yea, anyone can do it if they really want too...great video vivid wrap dude!
Thanks for the help. That looks great. I bought all the supplies for the job from your links. If all goes well and others want me to wrap their lights ill be back for more stuff.
Dude know his craft....Looks good.

CK Wraps just a heads up, the light smoke you have on the link actually takes you to a matte finished product. I ordered and installed it. Now I have some frosted headlights lol. The film is cool, but not for this type of application. I'll be removing it.
Blake Gomez same here. Ordered. Installed. Then turned the lights on and realized the mistake. Hopefully people see these comments before ordering.
Blake Gomez I'm so sorry, I'll fix the link
Truck_addict _ I'm sorry about that, I'm fixing the link. I didn't realize it was matte. It didn't say matte in the description
Everyone complaining about losing light like come on seriously these headlights on brand new trucks are way too bright to begin with.
Jordyn Martinez yeah they are super bright to begin with.
@Brosephsride correct, and a lot are just jackasses that ignore the fact that HLs need to be adjusted.
Whenever I’m coming home from work at night, people always flash me or highbeam me because my lights are too bright, I honestly think my lights are too bright. I have them ajusted as far down as they can go and I still blind people, I like being able to see, but I think the gov should have regulations on headlights because they are dangerous almost they are so bright
For sure. Those damn lights are incredibly bright and rough on on-coming traffic. They may afford terrific lighting / visibility for the driver, especially on work-sites and on farms in rural areas, but damn, they are rough in suburban driving.
Shhiiiiii man, the govt is the problem in this regard. In the US you can't do any changes to the headlight systems other than headlights that turn left or right when you do. In fact Audi or another German car company has developed systems that will use a front facing camera to see where other drivers are and then will direct the headlights away from them as well as illuminate darker areas when possible. So you can essentially drive with your brights on all the time but the headlights never face other drivers. This debate came up briefly when that self driving Uber test car hit that woman on her bike in Arizona. I watched that video and man she came out of no where. Wasn't the self driving car's fault. Hell that car probably reacted quicker than any human would have. Point being this is a new system that the US DOT has regulated illegal that needs to go. Especially if we want self driving cars.
i love yall alot yall inspired me to try and tint windows n made me follow my dreams love yall
You did that bro pulled that one right off like you were doing a tutorial 💯👍
24:55 He won't get pulled over since he's a firefighter lmao
Very clean work bro I am about to do my bmw with light smoke but started watching your video had to watch whole thing. I will be using wet but was just interested in this. Really impressed!! Five star job right there!!
I honestly don't know why anyone in your area would even go to a different shop for wrap work.
only logical reason would be because they didn't know about him....
Or, they're trying to be frugal in selecting their tint work?
Zach Street then they'll learn the hard way lol. One thing I've learned is that when it comes to car modifications/parts/repairs is that you get what you pay for. Get it done right the first time
My neighbour knows Christian, and he said that social media has made him look better than he actually is. He messes up a lot
Greg M. I couldn't agree more. Wish he'd move to northern Cali. You can't trust anybody here to do good work. By the way, nice truck. It really did need the tint. Without it the lights are a bit gaudy.
Wow. You sir are a wizard with anything vinyl. Absolutely incredible 😯
Awesome video. The fact this headlight is going to be my 1st try has me worried big time that I will not be able to to it.
Reading RUclips comments is better than most best sellers.
Great job on the headlight - of course. You make it look sooo easy that anyone can do it, but you are very talented. Challenge for you, a newer Dodge Caravan Tail light in Vivvid Light Smoke, one piece.. Those are CRAZY hard...
Hey man, I love watching your videos, giving me many great ideas! just got my Vvivid Smoke Vinyl Wrap to wrap Head lights and taillights, got my little cousin wanting to learn how to do this! He just started to follow your channel as well!
I tried some of that Vivid film and ripped it off after I seen how purple it looks. Terrible
You do a great job Bro!! Looks like you are following your passion. Best of luck 👍👍
You’re a craftsman at what you do looks great
Damn even that light tint made it look way better.. ur a master for sure
Thanks so much for this tutorial I was able to do my F150 with no problems. Great work as always!
You did a fantastic job on this, good work. I would suggest for the future that you edit out or cover your customer's license plates.
Last night I tried to wrap my Accord (2016 sedan) headlights and I couldnt get it at all cause of a weird peak that rises from the surface and causes fingers. Gonna try again tonight with a different approach and hope for a different result.
Would love to see a "Stump CK Wraps" challenge where Christian wraps what people claim is impossible. Just a thought.
Why didn't I find you before I got my tints done... Damn it!
just tried to tint my lights and fail xD
seeing this vids get me lots of knowledge, thanks for the vids :D
I wish I could come to Ontario & have you wrap my headlights & my cars body. You're so talented! Love your videos! 💖😘
I have a 2021 F150 FX4 and I'm having a devil of a time finding anyone willing to take on the challenge of smoking out my tail lights with either wrap or tint film. I'm located just south of Charlotte, NC, wish you guys were closer.
Nice...I'd like to see vivid release a super light or clear version also that would give light protection with even less reason for law enforcement to take notice of your car than the light version.
SayWhat? Or a dry ppf. That would be great
This guy shows how he masters his craft and while doing so gives helpful lessons on someone doing these things themselves.
Anyone that feels they need to give him a legal or moral lesson needs to have their mouth or fingers wrapped together. He will gladly do it at no cost I bet!
Once again props to you for what you do.
Unbelievable patience and technique!!!!!!!
👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
This stuff is great I retinted the headlights and taillights on my 13 Accord that I previously did wet, what a pain in the ass that was. I also did a set of Maxima headlights that I previously failed at with the wet app. I did all of this in about an hour and a half
Next try a 2017 Nissan altimas headlight..these things are kicking my ass with all the difference angles and depths
Sounds like the nissan juke 😂 Dont be afraid to inlay it with cut string. It will make things easy. I did these with one top layer and one front overlapped. The front top lights I did in 3 pieces.
www.caricos.com/cars/n/nissan/2015_nissan_juke/images/74.html
You make it look easy...That's what pros do....Great job!
Thank you machine gun kelley
Ah shit, you did him dirty man. Don't insult the man :D
You did a fantastic job wrapping those headlights !
I guess that I’m old, but they use to sell blackout lens for the front and the back lights. Everyone complaining about less light. Pretty sure that the company was GTS. Back in the nineties.
love the look of the new F150
You are the best man! Thanks for sharing your skills with us!
Great job. I did mine myself I use the vivid tint pretty easy to work with Just one problem I have when the light turn on it give a crock look. But I guess that's just the air release technology
Awesome job but more importantly can we get the specs on wheels and tires and lift kit. The stance on that F150 is no joke. Looks sexy and aggressive at the same time. Love it!!
I bought the dark smoke from Vvivid and that turned our way way too dark lol. Gonna probably do this light smoke. Looks perfect
Really clean looking wrap on those headlights. Looks good
Thanks for all the information and learning skills my friend. I'm doing a BMW 1 series. Mad black glitter and it's looking awesome.
I wrapped Ford Focus taillights yesterday and they had that same protrusion!
This vid gave me a great idea 😎 I'm going to put limo tint on my rear view and both side mirrors. 🌕🌓🌒🌑
Great work. Small details like this make such a big difference!
Great work !!! Just sent five request on yelp for estimates on tinting my headlights on my f150 and all five said they won’t 🤣
Just send them the video link lol
The Bob Ross of headlight tinting
if you heat it up more and let it fall into place itll last longer..and post heat is necessary because it gets rid of the memory of the vinyl. stretching is bad, there are air channels in the vinyl use them
I have been through 2 rolls trying to do it myself. You make it look too easy. That damn steep angled light is killing me. Still cheaper than paying someone. We need a closer look at this one.
My friend you are a tint master, awesome job!
Nice job. Best one I've seen yet
People are so uneducated in this comment section. First of all, the tint that was installed on this truck was very light, so the intensity of the light will barley be affected. Second, people tint their headlights on cars ALL the time. It’s a way to make them look more aggressive. Lastly, tinted headlights are typically not a common thing to be pulled over for, especially if it’s as light as the tint is in this video.
ZMC exactly
What one cop or inspector may overlook another one won't, I had a friend that had factory smoked headlights get a fail at inspection because the inspector said the law states no tint on them, the tint was permanently applied and he even showed them the window sticker stating it was a factory option, dude didn't care, he had to drive to a different station to get it passed.
Wrong out here in California people get pulled over all the time for this stupid shit. My company charges $60 just to remove the tint off the lights.
@@RHEC1776 California... nuff said 🤣💀
@ Correct. Keep clingfilm in the kitchen.
Wish you were local to me, I had my tint guy try to duplicate what you did on my 2018 f150 but he couldn’t do it.
I’ve learned a lot from these about to tackle my 2014 GMC Sierra headlights soon
Not sure why I watched this video, as I have zero intention of ever tinting my heads or tails. Very informative regardless.
I would love to see you try and do the 2017 F150 lariat taillights. Not one shop I have been to will touch them been to 5 shops in 2 diffrent city’s
I love your videos bro…thank you so much for sharing.
