Video Details:
This week we break down the cost and the complexity (or lack thereof) involved in wrapping your own vehicle. Our friend tackles wrapping his Model X P90D with vinyl film he purchased from amazon for around $700.
I'm glad ppl like Thin exist, they're normal Joes and inspire me to take on big projects like this. Thanks for sharing!
This video inspired me to wrap my own Tesla. 5 Days of hard work. I am almost there. :)
Pictures, or it didn't happen1 ;)
Please, share!
@@michalmousyak2317 yes, I agree show us the pics
So?
Very nice job. It takes a lot of patience, but at the end, looks great.
Rich Rebuilds shout out at 4:22. Hilarious because I immediately thought of his "primer paint job" when I saw this video. lol.
I used to watch him but how he does things makes me feel he an amateur than trying to look like know what doing
Love that you said “You need Rich Rebuilds” 😂😂
JP Gentleman 😂
For a very first wrap that's an awesome job dude 💯👍
Wrapping a Tesla is a piece of art. Well done!
He did an awesome job. I looked into a wrap for my model 3 and didn't want to waste the time or money knowing that I'd make mistakes. And the shops prices were outrageous. I had my Audi s4 convertible wrapped for 3500 but they wanted 6000 for my Tesla. Just pure robbery. Decided to plast dip the entire car for about $500. Came out great.
Plastidipping a tesla makes no sense.
@@ConceptWraps changed colors 2 years ago, but it’s still going strong.
@@durrsky1515 ... I don't even want to talk to your iq lol
It looks really nice so he should be very proud of himself and also don't forget to thank the wife.
Honestly, I have a hard time putting a screen protector on my phone.. lol.. well done! I would wonder how dust affects the wrap. I had the front of my S clear wrapped up to the front doors and windshiled and love it. I think that the ceramic coating is actually a great diy. as long as you get the car super clean first, it is pretty easy and works great.
Chris Bates which material is your wrap of your Tesla model S?
Wolf Of Dubai hmm 3m I think. 10 year warranty. No rock chips at all. I had a broken windshield but no chips. Looks like new still
Wow, he has some skills....looks really good. I do not have that skill....wish I did, but yeah, mine would be a tragic mess.
I'd pay him to do my car.
Just starting to do my car. Door handles and mirrors so far. I’ve been watching CK wraps on the youtube and others on Rumble. Bought all the specialty tools and started the learning curve.
@@bearlemley how did it go?
Seriously. Update. Hope it came out great.
I love the color and look with the wrap. I am a dyi guy, but this is a major tedious job that I would hesitate to tackle myself. Kudos to Thinh for getting his car almost completed and it looks like a pro job to say the least.
So awesome, great savings. I believe 2600 for my full wrap is the most I would pay. If I get a model x someday I will do it myself and save 6k. Thanks Kim
Dude that guy has 3 Tesla’s I can barely afford one
pretty sure those are Kim's.
onehawaiian don’t know don’t care all I know is that I can barely afford one lmao
@@user-mg6rp5dq7x at least you can afford one😭
higher education has some merits after all. pursue it with all the vigor possible! good luck.
Thinh has good taste in T-shirts, love back to the future.
As an installer, I see multiple problems here. First, he over paid for the material by about $200. Second, the front and rear doors are different because certain shades of vinyl are considered "directional" and should be applied the same way on the whole vehicle. Third, one just doesn't watch some RUclips videos and buy some material and then know how to wrap. I've been doing this for years and I'm still learning. Fourth, teslas are cake to wrap.
Wow that color wrap is so nice. He’s doing pretty good. U just got to be careful with the cutting knife but besides that it’s all good just takes time.
I really admire guys like that. My brother is one of those guys.
Your brother is Asian?
@@lijie6431 I meant guy who take on challenges. No matter how difficult it seems. The DIY guys.
BigBwoyTing nowadays anyone can be a dyi guy with instructional videos on RUclips. It just takes practice.
@@lijie6431 Yep, You are certainly right. My wife brake light went out and they wanted $150 to replace the bulb. I went on RUclips and had it fix in 10 minutes. Same with the side mirror again RUclips to the rescue.
I just was behind him on 400 in Buckhead and his work looks great!
I always get exited when you post a video! Great work! Keep going! I love it!
Edit: by the way love the new logo! It’s awsome!
Can you post the Amazon link of vinyl wrap color and brand please.
I'm wrapping my convertible saab 93 purple and black I messed up a little on my first panel but the more I do the better it's getting 😁
Rock on to all the DIYers out there, especially the ones who create how to vids for the rest of us chumps! :)
It looks great, I never would have thought to apply wrap yourself. He made it look pretty easy!
Once you do the wrapping you basically change your car color. Do you have to report that to DMV of the car insurance?.
I did the same thing with my model 3 I did a red satin wrap all by myself it came out great !!
I’m about to wrap mine matte (for practice) did you remove the bumpers?
3:27 the office has ruined my brain (that's what she said)
Then it cuts to him wearing a dunder mifflin shirt lol
I do like a DIY tho.. (that's what she said)
Definitely harder than I thought.. (that's what she said)
PPF is less forgiving because if you mess up, it’s more noticeable. Any artifacts left behind on the surface before applying PPF will be visible to the naked eye, where as a colored vinyl wrap can hide them.
Great Job on the wrap Thinh!!
Mad skills and attention to details!! Nice job!!!
Are the front and back doors supposed to be different shades? That would drive me nutz.
Wrapper here. The roll of vinyl is directional meaning you have to install the pieces the same direction. Front door is probably horizontal and rear door is vertical.
Noticed that, too.
What r the legal implications of the change in color?? Does the car need to re registered?
In our countries (Australia/New Zealand) you don't need to re-register the car, you just notify the Vehicle Licensing Authority (think in the US its called the DLVA?) of the change of colour so they can update it in the system.
How does it look behind the doors when they are open? Please send pics!
This is awesome...great video! I'm just finishing wrapping my Model 3 (have the front bumper left to do as of 7/14/20). Wrapping a car in this hot Atlanta weather is brutal.
I usually like Doing things my self. But for having an expensive car, I wouldn’t bother doing it my self . At longest I had a Honda or something. Lol
I’ve watched tons of your videos! I’m in the market for a model 3 and your videos have helped me heaps! Definitely subscribing
When wrapping the sensors, are they cut out individually or just pressed in with a tool?
Big ups to him... and to do it without taking anything apart 😮.... this guy is amazing. Thanks Kim for introducing him to us. I think he may have just found a side job once he gets his completed. I can see people contacting him to help with theirs. :)
Awesome video, Kim. I've watched this channel for a long time, read Clean Technica and Elektrek daily, and am now ready to step into the world of Tesla. I recently purchased 5000 shares of TSLA and am hopeful that it gains enough after the 2nd Q earnings announcement to pay for a new Model S for me. Cheers!
What an amazing Job! I was curious to know DIY/3rd party, does removing the wrap/vinyl effect the original color of the car?
Looks rad. Great job.
How is it to remove the wrap if you mess up or want to change the color?
See our next video coming next week.
Thank you Kim and family for doing the video! It was lots of fun. BTW, love the channel!
Great job! I love your choice of color , Gun metal gray, isn't it? Thanks for given me an idea to wrap my Model S! Minh from Orlando, FL.
Tell Carter I said Happy B-Day Sorry I couldn't be there
Looks great.
Wow.
Very impressive
Let’s say I mess up and want to remove it. How simple is that, can there be damage to my original paint etc, and how messy of a cleanup? In case I want to scrap the project and take it back to normal.
Props to this guy I tried doing a hood ones and I almost lost my mind.
I thought about similar. I bought a 3M sample book and watched youtube videos on how to do it, it's quite doable. Shop prices are a bit outrageous but diy, you could try a wild color. I actually think mirror chrome is pretty striking although not a subtle look :)
Great video as always from u and the gunmetal grey color looks awesome 🔥
Trinh's a super cool dude and did a great job wrapping his X!
How does it hold up to the weather? UV, temperature changes expansion/shrinkage? Is it easy to wash?
I’d like to know more about the methods he used to cut out details in the pieces he’s wrapping like the piece mentioned on the outside over the front tire and the center console around the silver piece that sticks out for you to push it open with.
I'm not overly familiar with the sensor placement on Teslas, but I see small circles around the front of the vehicle that are flush with the body, I simply assumed that those are some of them. Would wrapping your vehicle require you to keep those areas exposed and if so, I'm curious how much they would stand out on a completed wrap? Love the videos BTW.
Mind- BLOWN, as vinyl price comes down, you can do a piece at a time and change and do designs, great - thanks for sharing, looks great.
6:00 do you do it over the ultrasonics?
Badass BTTF shirt!!
I've got a paint chip at an edge and some dings already 12mo in to our X. I'm seriously considering a wrap / ceramic + PPF on the front.
A vinyl wrap does not fix or cover body damage and will make it harder to cover. It's important to fix the body damage before applying the wrap or else you will end up having bubbling. Rust can actually cause corrosion over time and cause the wrap to get loose and bubble up and rip. Fix the damage before wrapping.
@@Vision33r bubble rust on aluminium car??
Wow, it would save a lot of dough to be able to do this yourself, depends on how good you and whether you want it perfect or not. If I tried it I would practice on something else , like a mailbox or something around the house before I made a mess of my Tesla(or any car ) . I think because of the high price of professional labor for PPF and other wrap installers which most people can't afford it would be worth a try at least, not to give any insult or disrespect to those who do it for a living , they do know what they are doing . You were right Kim, his Model X did make for a great video! ( Really hate to see the black covered, it my favorite color for any Tesla lol !)
right! black cost extra, mind as well have gotten white!
Nice
Oooh. I'm not much of a DIY person, which is weird since I coach a Lego robotics team.
But this looks super interesting. I figure if I try it I'll only completely mess up about... hmm... 5 or 6 times at $700 a roll. Maybe not the best idea. haha
Very cool!
Very informative. Thanks!
Vinyl and PPF is not really the same to apply. I'd say PPF is harder as it's thicker and you should not use a heat gun.
Well done! The guy has skills for sure.
My local wrap shop is doing my P100D 3M full wrap in satin black, a chrome delete and ceramic coating for $2,950 which as far as I'm concerned is an amazing deal since most wrap shops won't even do the wrap for less than $3,500. I wouldn't dare try to wrap it myself. One little mistake and you have to start from scratch. No thank you.
I’m definitely doing this
Looks great!
I’m always curious how the inside of the doors look and do those edges peel up over time?
Kimberly Petras depends how good it’s made actually
Came for the wrap...stayed for the girl.
We have a Preformance Model 3 for our production studio. We want to do a wrap and this may be how we do it...
Went to a ridge wallet 2 years ago, they are awesome and simplistic!
that's color look great. Satin grey. Wow. i should do mind.
bro owns 3 teslas he can afford to get it wrapped legit
Awesome video Kim, Can't wait to get my Model Y delivered...
A lot of people wants to wrap their Tesla because Tesla doesn't offer too many colors. Pay $2500 for a color option for MX and you have very limited choice. For that price they should offer another 10 colors. Maybe I am wrong, maybe not!!
Very nice what color and material brand?
Looks very beautiful 😍 that's my favorite color😃
Wow, that guy did a great job...Mad skills!!
But are the front and rear doors the exact same color? It appears the vinyl may have come from 2 different “dye” lots...
I think that has to do with lightning and the camera. Doesn’t look different in person.
@@ItsKimJava, Ah...I was considering that MIGHT be the issue. Thanks!
Is the vynil gets ruined in brownbear carwash??
Yes if not hand-washed
is there a follow up video of the final project?
So crazy I was googling car wraps for this same type of color and finish for my M3.
Ricky Alvarado I have an M5 and I can tell you it’s wayyyyyy harder than a Tesla. I had mine professionally done and the techniques they used were pretty trick.
Eric Liss bro I bet. I would def go professional. I barely have time to wash. There’s no way I can wrap the car with no experience.
Nice job bro ... pls what's the brand and color code of this particular vinyl ... I like to know pls ...?
Do you have some pictures of an open door to see what the wrapping looks like around the edges?
The color of the wrap looks sick. But leaving half undone looks just that, undone lol
Fitting seeing as the base black paint coat costs an extra 1000 now
Hi Elon, it’s nice to know you watch Kim’s channel 😁 Yeah was thinking to order a black M3 and wrap it up in whatever finish I choose. Now I’ll go the free plain white and maybe apply quicksilver chrome? 🤤
what wrap is this? love the color and would love to get the same one.
I chrome deleted my model s and I'm happy with it. I got a rediculas quote. And probably saved over $1,800 doing it myself .I did around windows,directionals,door handles,and chrome strip on back.im happy with it ,and I wasnt worried about how many pieces were used. Great video Kim. And yes he has skills .but that front will be very difficult to do...
“Did someone help you while you did this?”
*walks through B Roll of him getting help*
you are amazing.......i can't wrap my sprained ankle
This is fun bro and sis! Thumb up
I'm Sold! DIY all day..
Ridge wallets are awesome.
Looks great
You save so much money doing it yourself...I'm going to wrap mine in ppf. Just the front bumper, hood and mirrors though, not the entire car. Wish me luck.
I'm not a fan of the Teslas but that's not a bad wrap job for a non-pro.
Word of advice don't leave the wrap over 3 to 4 years especially the roof area. The wrap glue will penetrate the paint and ruin it.
Do you know that for sure?
@@MechInvent I had a white BMW X4 had the roof wrapped in gloss black, the vinyl ruined my roof. Speaking from experience.
I love your videos!!!
Cool,..His car look so awesome’!..good job!!!👍
Is it legal to change car color without DMV application form?
Loved the video! Keep them coming!
Nice that you could get a dress to match his wrap. Very thoughtful of you.
