Thank you taking the time to make and share this process. Apparently 8 disliking people did a better job than you but were too shy sharing it. :))) Cheers!
Thanks and thanks for watching!
That's beautiful..
Thanks!
Great demo! Can you use the wrap on the palm rest and trackpad? For a newbie like myself which wrap is easiest to work with and most forgiving? I know vvivid makes plus, xpo, ultra and architectural it is there a better alternative that vvivid?
Yes, actually. I had carbon fiber vinyl on my gracias at one point lol! Other alternative vinyls include Avery Dennison SW900 series and 3M 2080 series
Thank you very much for showing your excellent work!
Thanks and thank you for watching! Much appreciated.
This is really silly, obviously you can scratch your laptop with the blade
You'd be surprised by how much of a revelation that is to some people lol!
great idea. great tutorial. ( black part around screen is called a bezel :-) )
Thank you and thanks for watching! Sorry for the late reply.

Hello, I have a Dell inspiron 3580 laptop and the surface is not flat, it is an anti-scratch surface, can carbon be glued?
If you remove the vinyl after a year, will it leave the glue, discoloration or any dents on your laptop?
Second question, can it be used in
If you use a high quality automotive vinyl wrap, it "should" not leave any glue or discolor your laptop. It shouldn't dent it either, as the vinyl is just a "skin" you are putting on. Any dents would be from something impacting the laptop. All things considered, I say "should" because with everything, there are numerous factors to consider that may result in different outcomes. But automotive vinyl wrap is specifically designed to be removable without leaving residue. If residue is left, it can typically be cleaned up by wiping it off with a microfiber cloth and rubbing alcohol.
Thank you. You were great.
Thanks you and thank you for watching!
How do you deal with getting the bubbles out? It's so hard to lay it on flat like what you do and I have to spray the laptop with alcohol and squeegee them out.
FWIW I'm using a different brand of vinyl that's cheaper, but it's the only option for clear, dry-application vinyl.
Sounds like you might be using a vinyl that does not have air egress. In that case, I'd recommend applying the vinyl from one side and squeegeeing the vinyl down as you go across, while peeling the backing. I've pasted a link to a video I made of wrapping a desk, where at about the 4:00 mark I show how I applied the vinyl to the desk top in the manner described above. th-cam.com/video/nmHFxhZ9sAk/w-d-xo.html
Otherwise, I'd recommend using a vinyl with air egress. This is why I specifically used automotive vinyl wrap for this project...it makes application and pressing out bubbles super easy!
@@ColorChangeCustoms Thanks for the reply! I ended up doing what you suggested and it worked waaay better. Ultimately I guess the vinyl I bought was too cheap and didn't have that feature. Next time I'll buy the same brand you're using.
@@matthew_pike I'm glad it seems to have worked out. Thanks again for watching and if you have any other questions, just let me know. Cheers!
Would you ever consider doing this as a service? I’d love to pay to have a holo wrap added to my laptop, but I don’t know who to go to for this kind of service, and I don’t quite have the confidence to do it myself.
Hi there! Sorry for the late reply. You could go to a vinyl wrap shop in your local area and ask them if they could grab your laptop for them. Or, you could just get some cheaper vinyl wrap and practice a few times before doing it for real. Just take your time and you’ll be fine!

Excellent video!!
Thank you and thank you for watching!
Is that vinyl easy to remove?
Yes, it comes right off. It's automotive vinyl wrap, which is intended as temporary and removable.
@@ColorChangeCustoms Thank you!
Does a vinyl wrap come off easily after say 1 year? Or does it get messy? How does cheap vinyl fare against the premium ones?
Generally yes, vinyl wrap does come off easily, but it depends on a lot of factors. Brand can make a difference, and generally name brands tend to be better in terms of quality. But, other factors play in as well, such as the surface the vinyl was applied to, preparation of the surface, environmental conditions, how long you leave the vinyl on, etc. Here’s a video I made showing removal of wrap I had on the hood of my car that had been on for over a year and it came off without any issues:

@@ColorChangeCustoms Thanks for replying. I'm planning to put on a vinyl wrap on the top lid of my ThinkPad T14 because it tends to get scratched easily.
Even if the wrap does leave some residue when removing it, I should be able to get rid of it easily, with things like isopropyl alcohol right?
Also is it a bad idea to apply the wrap without any used of heat whatsoever?
Right on! I've got several videos on laptop wrapping. Hopefully they'll be of help when you wrap yours.

@@ColorChangeCustoms You seem to be using the heat gun there as well? Is it possible to do without the use of heat?
