He said it was a difficult light to tint, but he made it look easy. Great work.
Right lol. He did this in 20 minutes. Same lights took me 1 hour each 😂
Christian, you make the most difficult tail light look easy. Excellent job. For those of you that were wondering what Christian said when he muted the sound when the tint had something under it and he ripped it off, it was this: " Gosh darn it ! I have a little something under the tint. Not a problem, I'll just remove it and start
over. " OR, something very close to that LOL. Ü
My best,
Scott
I really appreciate your videos, especially this one. I picked up the film on Amazon and then set out figuring how to apply it. Came across your videos and then got a recommendation for this one which is my exact right truck I’m wanting to do the tail lights on. Super helpful all the info you share. 👍🏼
Man this makes me feel so much better about my 3 attempts it took me on my Volvo XC-90 back lenses. Crazy curves and size.
Thanks for the vid! You touched on all the issues I've been having wrapping a BMW side mirror in Vvivid carbon. This should help with my edges that keep pulling back. Thanks again Christian!!
This is exactly my problem with Chevy Bolt taillights around a top corner. Your a master vinyl technician. I’m gonna try again this weekend.
Great video. Definitely the most difficult wrap job I've attempted. Even though it didn't come out perfect this helped alot. Thanks.
I don’t feel like so much a complete failure trying it once now. Thanks
Great demonstration brother, I’m kinda getting confident try to tint my car
Your good at your job man. I’ve tried this and I’ve failed with the new super duty tail lights ... good content
That was INCREDIBLE work. You make it look effortless buddy, keep the videos coming. They are much appreciated
Very nice as always, love seeing some wrap being done on a truck
Trucks are gay
He's like a wrap wizard. Makes it look easy and it isn't!
Thanks Christian for another great video, I love doing taillights with air release its so much better.
The day you do a BRZ/FRS/86 is gonna be amazing. I just tried doing my 2014 BRZ and it was...rough to say the least 😬I did an okay job for being a TH-cam learner and it being my first time but it’s a beast of a light I think. Either way you’re the best tinter on TH-cam for my money. Thanks bro
all that remains vinyl looks badass on that truck
Best example of how to apply this stuff. Thanks
You're very good at what you do. I just did my Mustang Mach-e following your tips and advice.
Dude THANK YOU! I have a 2018 Forester and the headlights are obnoxiously square with round corners. O never thought about stretching the WHOLE thing over the headlight
Thank you so much!! If it wasn't for this video. I probably would of pay on how to do this. Same problem with my tail lights curve in the corner with flat in the middle. I did exactly what you did in this video and it work out pretty good. Thank you again many blessing 🙏 subscribe!
Man your amazing I wish you could do my truck lights and roof. You do amazing work
Such a great job man, i want my 2014 F150 taillights done like that
Great videos. You do an excellent job showing and explaining the work. Thanks!
Very nice work sir. Love the detailed explanations, tips, recommendations, etc. Very meticulous when you work, how it should be.
I'm converted. I need to go home and do some tinting. A process I have always considered stupid :)
We need a 2014 - 2019 tundra how to tail light wrap!
Ruthless Bone make one
I’ve done it. @theheadlightguy on IG. You have to stretch over the fins then cut around them and leave untinted
Been a fan for a long time. Amazing work and demonstration!!
CKWraps #1😍💯👍
I hoping for you to do a 17 Raptor or newer. I saw the one you did the headlights but I’m waiting for the taillights video. .thank you for all your videos!!
All That Remains yeaahhh !! Awesome video, really nice work Christian, i've watched for a long time now, and you are one of the best i've seen.
I would love to get in to wrapping, i have wrapped some small stuff on my BMW. But the wrap is insanely expensive over here i think, i dont know how much is costs over at your place? But here, a roll Avery Dennison, Gloss Black, 82feet roll, cost 1020$. isnt that very expensive?
Avery Dennison Black Chrome, 75feet roll, 3500$... insane
I did my 15 duramax last night. Wish I'd seen this before hand. Have tp order more tint and redo
Christian starts by stating how difficult this will be then does the job in a few minutes 🙄 the boss.
Would it be easier to wrap the taillights if you take them out? I want to do mine after I wrap the truck I am just curious.
Nice work bro
Not too sure if you read these older comments but I have a 2021 GMC Sierra AT4 that the back of the headlight is not flat like that. It has a big recessed area in the middle. Any suggestions or if I still stretch it this exact same way and then Work that recess? Thanks man I sure learned a lot from your videos.👍🏼👊🏼
Man I wish I lived near you
So you should definetly wrap the film around the edge/corner to tuck it in towards the paint? So he holds better and doesn't show the taillight?
What do you charge for both rear lights on that truck? I wonder if I'm charging too little.
Just curious. Wouldn't it be better to take off the tail light? I want to try to tint mine myself
Thanks
Amazing job, have you been able to do the '19 Silverado tails? I ended up just spray tinting them! 2 light coats seemed to be plenty.
The 19 tails are a PITA, I’ve done them twice and fail at the top and middle side low part. Third times a charm. I was thinking of spraying but I wouldn’t pass yearly safety inspection in my state
Done them, you have to stretch around whole light or you will have too much excess film along the top section. @theheadlightguy on IG
I am looking to try and tint my tail lights on a 2011 ford Edge do they need to be done in two pieces?
Thanks for your awesome videos and sharing of knowledge. You make it look easy. Was the wrap used in this video light smoke or dark smoke? Looks perfect. Thanks again for producing this awesome channel.
Can you let us know, the look is awesome :)
Would you recommend doing it with the tail lights removed?
Looking for some insight from Christian, as well as others that have done or dealt with tint before. I have a Satin Steel Canyon. Should I go light smoke, or dark. your feedback is appreciated.
looks great
@ckwraps can you do Jeep Wrangler 2018 tail lights. Those are the hardest one.
How much do you charge for tinting both tailgate lights?
You should try doin the 2014 is350 lights they are crazy hard
Could you wrap a tacoma 2018 taillight? Can you make a video?
I like how there's 2 dogs playing right next to you lol. Ever get any hair under the wrap? 😆
I'll try to follow your steps to go over a Nissan Versa's taillights, hard as heck
Good vidéo. I didthe same technic with the same material on my GMC Canyon 2015. The taillights are the same than yours. It looks great at the beginning but after a time the vinyle stretch back by quartet of an inch at the top and bottom. I'd like you to show us the condition of thèse light after 3-4 month. Maybe removing the lights and Wrapping them out of the véhicule should by easier
Have you ever tinted the front around the lamps not over?
Good teacher
How much do you charge for a job lile this? Great video!!
Is there anything I can replace the isopropyl alcohol thing with? Has everything else cept dat
My tail lights have tiny raised lettering in one spot from the factory and it looks like I have bubbles there but I don't. Any suggestions?
I should’ve TH-camd this before rawdogging my last 2 failed attempts 😂.
Looks like I need a faster blowing heat gun first and foremost cause this baurer one from harbor break 🙃doesn’t blow as nearly as fast. And I’m guessing full hot is what I need to have it at from the speed your tint went pliable?
Wish I was able to send pics of my botch job to see if I could get some more pointers in the hex tint wrapping around my triangle taillights (93 Honda Prelude). 🤦 and this video is the closest I can find with the sharp angles.
Anyways thanks for this video, I didn’t think about using the vehicle as a second set of hands 👍
Good video thank you! I might be redoing my Kia stinger taillights currently have nite shades spray tint looks good but want to switch to vinyl wrap. have you done these taillights they look kind of difficult. Would you suggest doing in pieces? Any advice?
Great video. I've studied your tail light videos before trying my car. I'm practicing using the same tint on my 2001 Trans Am. The entire tail light is about 24" wide and a double curve so it's pretty challenging. I've done it twice and it's close to perfect. Hopefully third time is a charm.
Doing this same model vehicle tomorrow
Question, wouldn't it be easier to tint the lights if they were removed from the truck?
Can you wrap chrome trim with that?
So it can be done🤯🤩👋
This whole time I thought you were based in LA or America, and you're closer than I thought. How can I inquire about some small interior trim work with my own wrap? if you guys do that. Thanks. Awesome Work!
Do you have any suggestions for a tint that doesn't have the orange peel texture? My car (19 veloster) has what I would call moderately difficult shape, but I really hate the texture.
Awesome job
Do you have a video of wrapping the front headlights on that truck?
I am also looking for an example / how to on the headlights. I have not found one yet. some before and after shots, but not a how to.
Why you didn't open the trunk door during tinting?
Have you had any luck tinting the 2019/20 Sierra headlights??
How does it hold with car washes drive in?
Hey Chris how much runs the taillights like that. I thinking I am charging too low, but sometimes too much. If you can answer that. Thx for sharing buddy. I did the GMC yukon Denali which fail me twice.
These are $300
Can you show how to do a 2014 Nissan Altima headlight? It’s the hardest tail light I’ve ever tried.
I tryed wrapping my 2019 tacoma tail lights and I failed i didnt try from bottom to top but I think I’d appreciate you finding a tacoma owner who wants to wrap their tail lights 😞
Have you had a chance to do a set of 2019 Sierra taillights yet? They’re similar to this but have a set of compound curves on the tailgate side too.
Brian Chastain that is a 2019 Sierra
Jeremy Rohl Those don’t look like my 2019 AT4 taillights. Close but not exact. My taillights aren’t flat on the very rear, the sides look the same.
Brian Chastain agreed, my 19 slt tail lights have the extra curve that you’re talking about. The truck in the video is a lower trim package (elevation) so I’m wondering if the Sierras without the multipro tailgate have slightly different tail lights too
Do they have a mid smoke?
Have you done any 2018 toyota camry taillights? I want to do mine but they have so many aggressive line.
I did this on a new Nissan Tundra's taillights and they failed badly. Used Vvivid air tint. I have done tinted over 200 lights with a different material without any issues and with Vvivid I've had a lot of jobs come back. Any tips? I enjoy using it but it seems to fail often.
Nissan Tundra? lol... im sure you meant Toyota Tundra.
@@VictorSalazar44 he prob meant Nissan Titan lol not sure
Have you ever tried 2017-2020 f250 platinum tail lights, tried yesterday first time alone then second time with help and failed both times they are really really hard tail lights, I’ve done plenty on other cars and never had trouble, same film vvivid air release
I did a set for a customer and they were some of the hardest ones I had ever done. I'm with you that I would love to see how he would do them
anyone know what can be used instead of Isopropyl Alcohol? tough to find during todays conditions
I'd like to see a 2022 outlander
Yesterday I tinted a Honda Civic 2019 using earl release from vivid it was challenging
Can you try to get a VW Atlas in your shop to tent the taillights. I tried and failed horribly. I was left scratching my head
@ckwraps Please show me some Tundra tail lights. Those wings on the lenses are killing me!!! Wasted so much material already.
I’ve done them. @theheadlightguy on IG. You must cut around fin

Do you still do the classes? I have emailed multiple times but I never get a reply.
Thanks.
Hey, I'm sorry you didn't get a response. Could you please check your spam folder?
CK Wraps
I did. I can check all folders at once. My email is stlrimz@gmail.com. I wrote in the chat thing twice, which I was under the impression it would be emailing, and be seen by someone, but never heard anything. Idk if having my email will let you find it.
Email me nav@ckwraps.com , the chat and emails are 2 different things :)
Ah ok, usually the messages do go to email but wix doesn't always send them for some reason. We'll email you directly
@@CKWraps Ey bro by any chance have you done 2022 ford escape taillights tint I have learn a lot through ur videos but 2022 ford escape taillights are extremely difficult it would help a lot if you make a video if you ever tint taillights on 2022 ford escape
got a gmc canyon that is about as bad maybe worse. Might should have took very very very difficult as maybe this shouldnt be your first taillight to tint. I got it on there in one piece but there was to much tension at the edge and and it peeled back
Can u do an 07 escalade tint ?
Great job...
Want a difficult light? Same year Silverado. I did mine using your techniques... kinda. First timer, and I know it's gonna fail :D Help a brotha out!
How did it come out on the silverado
@@joshpuckett7897 pretty good but stretched til the edges and got some pull back
Hi I try wrapping my tail lights that came out really awesome but when I park in the Sun the starter raise up like they had to pull back what did I do wrong
You stretched too much to the edge. The film can be stretched across the light, but you can not stretch all the way to the edge of the light. 1/2 inch before the edge of the light lift and heat to allow it to shrink then smooth it out and squeegee. @theheadlightguy on IG I can help you out more message me!
Would it not be easier to remove the whole assembly.?
GREAT JOB
Good job brother
Great video as always. Thanks for the tips to help us out. Also was wondering if you would do a comparison video with vvivid smoke tint vs luxe smoke tint. I have used luxe and have had it tear on me several times and i dont really like the after finish as well. It would be cool to see your opinion on the product as it is an expensive product. When i reached out to luxe about the failures i had they pretty much said their film does not fail ever and they couldn't do nothing for me. Thanks man
I've been trying to tint my 2007 Infiniti g35 coupe tail lights, and tried twice with no luck, I've found it to be extremely difficult with the indented circles, any professional tips you could suggest?
Message me @theheadlightguy on IG
@ckwraps I hope your able to show us a set of 2019 Silverado Tails, I’ve been struggling with mines at the top and side low portion, tried doing what you showed here but always have pull back at the top and middle side
They can be done one piece, but easier with 2 pieces. Knifeless tape. Message me @theheadlightguy on IG if you need help
Perfect
Can you do a 2019 navigator? Feel free to use mine as a demo
How do you fix hard creases?
Peel it up, hit with heat. If it doesn't co.e out with heat, it's damaged and need to start over
Awesome work as always. Would removing them have been an easier option?
No
Do 2018 Honda accord tail lights. Those are beyond difficult
