Sir!... wow! Just wow! I can't believe this video is actually free. Thanks a lot man!! I did my friends car in 6 hrs but it was my very first time. You rock! Thanks again
Thank you. I absolutely love watching people wrap cars. In want to get My hands in there so bad. I have all the tools ordered and am waiting on my first roll of material.
Take their avery dennison class. If you choose the right one he may even be teaching the class himself. But the other instructors are fantastic as well. Its pricey but you become a certified avery denison installer and that's very valuable to wrap shops.
i was gonna paint my car till i found this , i thought at first vinyl wrap was same as window tent , no this guy make me wanna get out and do my own wrap. cool teacher , thanks very much ,
Thank you, I think this video prepared me really great for my first practice. I tend to be careful but now I know how hard I can pull and in what direction.
Incredible display of expertise and knowledge, this guy communicates it well and people like him who are an expert in their field and can teach something so well are hard to find.
5 years late..but def! I've been installing for 15 years, and there is always room to grow and learn something new. But Justin Pate is on a whole other level though...probably the best I've seen actually. Would really like to take a class with him 💯
Jim will know how hard to pull by pure instinct. It's all about feel and experience - just like anything. Also, I've wrapped small shit like a few pistol slides and whatnot and I question the ability of the adhesive to remain durable after 2 dozen sticks and lifts like you guys are doing. That glue isn't invincible. "Wrappings cars is kind of like going to the gym". That's a legendary quote
this is incredibly helpful. i thought i would rip the vinyl with a decent bit of tension and was scared to pull. currently wrapping my car for the first time and have messed up the bonnet (easiest part of my car) 3 times. gonna use this technique!
This is a great way for your material to shrink back to its original form due to heat over time and now you have catastrophic failure. Only glass unless it really calls for it like trying to get around convex shapes. Leaving the vinyl in it’s original state on a nearly flat surface ensures that you won’t get your material to pull back up.
I was doing this work when the vinyl first came out. It didn't shrink though. Once heated, it was stretched. You youngins' are having some fun. & if two glue sides touched the piece was done! Unless it was cool out, you could never lay on dry, bubbles would not travel and you'd be popping holes for a week.
So true, I started using vinyl on commercial displays and all your points are spot on- I use a solder rework station (SMD) heat gun, it gives pencil tip control and remove the bubbles by heating IN PLACE. Many of the materials I'm wrapping, like MDF, are air permeable and the bubbles actually escape through/into the substrate, unlike cars. But heating in place limits stretch and the SMD rework gun is absolutely an excellent tool - about $70, cheaper than a commercial heat gun.
wow, I have been doing this very thing for years . I did not know it had a name . cool . the amount of stretch you can apply will always depend on the type of material you are using an the air temp you are working in . its easy and fast to get the stretch you need on a warm , mostly sunny day . 80 to 85 degrees is good for a tan and a workout . the warmer the air temp , the less strong stretching you will have to do . just be sure to lay down the material as you move around the bumper as the sun and the warmer temp will cause the air-release feature not work as well . don't be afraid of the sun , it can save time and stress on your back after a long day .
Very useful videos. Thank you for sharing. I have a quick question - I have few scratches on my front bumper. Should I just clean it then wrap it? How should I smoothen the surface?
This is fascinating to see you in action. Is this material different than clear ppf? The reason I ask is because you apply this dry vs using a soapy water solution and alcohol/water stick solution.
Very impressive stuff but I wouldn’t recommend his second demonstration. Where he pulls the vinyl back and cuts the backing. There’s adhesive and there’s dust everywhere that can get onto the adhesive. I know he’s in a Well ventilated area but for reg people like us, keep vinyl backing facing the car and pull from under
Trying to do it myself on a bmw z3 I ruined the decklid and did ok on front panels can you give me some insight on technique for by yourself job, it’s really hard with on person
How would you tackle a bumper with the glass game as a solo installer? I can tell you that bumpers are definitely a nightmare for me and I never look forward to them.
Basically you do a quarter at a time. Cut the backing off the half of the bumper and use magnets to hold the other side with you pull and stretch each section.
You are a natural teacher. Thanks!
Sir!... wow! Just wow! I can't believe this video is actually free. Thanks a lot man!! I did my friends car in 6 hrs but it was my very first time.
You rock! Thanks again
thank you! You probably saved me 20 hours of failure and $100's in material cost by watching 1 hour of videos. subscribed!
Thank you. I absolutely love watching people wrap cars. In want to get My hands in there so bad. I have all the tools ordered and am waiting on my first roll of material.
gunnerm1 what material do you need to start, I’m super interested
How did it go? Did you make glass or a pile of screwed up vinyl and a head ache ?
Take their avery dennison class. If you choose the right one he may even be teaching the class himself. But the other instructors are fantastic as well. Its pricey but you become a certified avery denison installer and that's very valuable to wrap shops.
Thanks to you I now have a better understanding of the pull method.
i was gonna paint my car till i found this , i thought at first vinyl wrap was same as window tent , no this guy make me wanna get out and do my own wrap. cool teacher , thanks very much ,
been waiting to cut this nice and smooth without mentioning any cutting tape
Very good video educational and well done please keep going with grill inserts and the finish.. thank you 👍
Thank you, I think this video prepared me really great for my first practice. I tend to be careful but now I know how hard I can pull and in what direction.
That's the issue I have is not pulling enough because I do not want to damage the film

The commentary was simply amazing
Take a shot every time he says glass

Amazing video skills and presentation. Subscribed!

I wanna see this Guy make a video Where he Lets someone wrap a car that never did it before and then give tips on the way.
Came here to learn how to wrap, ended up learning how to make glass. Life is crazy
I see what you did there!
All about those glass man
I just love watching this stuff he is a great teacher tho.
I feel like this is just like me putting plastic wrap on leftovers... gotta be perfectly smooth on top. LOL
this is incredibly helpful. i thought i would rip the vinyl with a decent bit of tension and was scared to pull. currently wrapping my car for the first time and have messed up the bonnet (easiest part of my car) 3 times. gonna use this technique!
We’re you ever able to finish wrapping the hood
This is a great way for your material to shrink back to its original form due to heat over time and now you have catastrophic failure. Only glass unless it really calls for it like trying to get around convex shapes. Leaving the vinyl in it’s original state on a nearly flat surface ensures that you won’t get your material to pull back up.
thanks heaps. some great tips in here. i so have to give this a go!
Great demo sir!
Insane in the glass game.
Nice work man
Excellent video!
“Pull it like a man...or a woman” 😂😂 thank you for the content! New installer here, this is going to change my world!
OK, enough of the glass, show me how you cut into all of the curves of the front spoiler...
I'm with you my thought was to get the inserts and grill area should you be pulling or heating 👍
ikr
so did you know how to do that ?
hahah they never show the hard parts.. every video is showing how to do the hood. hahahahahha
CK Wraps regularly produces videos doing curves & recesses

Having a heated show helps. I've had vinyl tear on my when it's 40f degrees outside.
The vinyl manufacturer should have told you youbdont wrap in 40degrees. Im not pro and even i know that
@@GetKinetic1one I don’t have that benefit.

Nice wrapped around
Great video
Very useful videos. Thank you for sharing. I have a quick question - I have few scratches on my front bumper. Should I just clean it then wrap it? How should I smoothen the surface?
All depends i think, how deep/wide of scratches are we talking about? is it a painted bumper or just a grey/black plastic bumper?
I can’t wrap
To save my
Life I have to use a lot of little
Pieces utterly
Impressive how they do this
yo yo way to go Jim !
AMAZING 👌👌
... when your helper isn't listing

This guy’s house must be made of glass lol Great vid

Great Video! Follow Paint is Dead to see other great car wrap videos!
Really cool
Hey Boss what brand of material is better for beginners to use like there any difference in the brands of the quality ??
does pulling make the material uneven ? ie, parts that gets pulled is thinner than others , also does it cause the wrap to age unevenly ? thanks
Super cool
Nice video👍👍
Pulls my vvivid+ yesterday on fender... tears 🤣
tried this with some cheap wrap i had and it just rips when you pull it is there a way to make cheap wrap last a long time like a year at least
I wonder how long it would take him to wrap the alarm clock on his wrist?
how to you play the stretch game if it has a pattern? it will all go wonky....
can you guys show how to do tailights with curvature
Now this is Glass...
Definitely “COOL”
great help. does carbon fiber 3m 1080 work the same way or is it harder to work with? thanks again.
Same way. I wrapped my hood and mirrors with it a few years back.
What kind of material would you prefer to drink beer out of?
How many tonnes of glass do you produce a day?
I fired Jimmy 😂😂
Try doing that with the metallic chrome colors
19:07 clutch save
Lool
Thanks
Every time he says glass take a shot ...
I will glass game on my bmw e92, has some huge pannels, huge doors and hood
You need to watch multiple videos to see those little details that are left out as a beginner
What color is the green vinyl called?
Question: Is there a search engine to find qualified installers? Help?
I want a brother like Jim
Roberto Avila my dads bald
Would a 5×55 foot roll cover one car and allow mistakes for a beginner
Trying to do it myself on a bmw z3 I ruined the decklid and did ok on front panels can you give me some insight on technique for by yourself job, it’s really hard with on person
Liked this video cause there was no ads
Damn it jim
So I was using the amount of tension you were using, the problem I saw was a lot of air bubbles, like everywhere
What brand material is he using?
that g shock is fugly, but this dude is the zen master of wrap.
kiss is going to give it a kiss of heat...
Im pretty sure that this is a no but.
Will wrap last if you wrap over a rusted spot? Result?
It's one thing to glass a front bumper...another thing to trim it.
What color is that? Where can I buy?
GLASSSSSSSS
This guy sounds EXACTLY like the Call of Duty RUclipsr "Hutch". Unreal
What brand of film is that
Me puedes decir el nombre del vinil que marca es gracias buen video
But did you make glass?
try that with Profix vynil green metalic colour. i want to see how to handle this vynil
When you stretch the material that much aren't you thinning the material and have a higher chance of it to rip/tear?
10% he said. But be within tolerance...
i dont have a car... but i spend 2 hours watching wrapping videos... omg...
good!!
How would you tackle a bumper with the glass game as a solo installer? I can tell you that bumpers are definitely a nightmare for me and I never look forward to them.
Philipe Jose exactly! For about a week my cars will be wrapped except the bumpers.. pain in the ass to do.
Basically you do a quarter at a time. Cut the backing off the half of the bumper and use magnets to hold the other side with you pull and stretch each section.
May I know What material is this?
Exelent thanks
I want to come to your academy
So when you do carbon fibre, will it distort the pattern by pulling that hard .Allso what’s the best out there as in the make
Heat will distort
Hola que material usan
try wrapping a screened grill. Inside and out on the holes
Alex Kumlin thats just silly
What's the name of that color green? TFS.
