I saw my vinyl guy do my chrome delete with a torch. Looked perfect. I wanted to try using clear yellow tint on my fog lights. I think I’ll go with the heat gun.

Great comparison.
We have also found that digital heat guns will allow you to accurately reach the proper post heating temperature.
Post heating is important because it allows the vinyl to "cast" to it's final shape. If you do not properly post heat your vinyl, you will have peeling, curling or tenting when your wrap leaves the shop.
