Like others have said, your skills are admirable but my biggest take away from your videos is the sheer amount of knowledge and experience that you are able to communicate. Thank you for helping individuals like myself improve my wrapping projects!
ive tried wrapping a few things in the past month and i have to say 2 things, #1 i’ve learned a lot from you & #2 you make this sh*t look easy.
If it's not flat, I don't even bother😂.
Everything for the first time is pain, but if you love to do it, then you can end like Chris here.
Its all about making glass, thats the secret. Hes a good wrapper
He does make it look easy.
But remember that he has tried soo many times.
In my country we have an education for it, it takes 3,5 years to learn properly.
And some other things related to it....
This guy is the Bob Ross of Vinyl Wraps! He makes it seem so easy!
I’ve watched you wrap hundreds of panels at this point - it was pretty clear to me that this stuff is more challenging than a vinyl wrap. Intimidating!
hey Ck i been watching for a while now and didn’t even realize i haven’t been subbed but just wanted to say i started wrapping my prelude when i was 15 and ur videos really helped now only 2 years later im 17 and have people coming to me for wraps and chrome deletes. you’ve helped me so much man and now i’ve wrapped my lude 4 times , my buddies 240sx , audi A4, bmw 335i , and now wrapping a subaru impreza next week. i wouldn’t have this income and experience without your youtube videos man!
This is great to hear man! There's not much more that I want than the success of installers and those who find something they love and are good at
Lies lol
@@MindsMouth if he didn’t care he wouldn’t post / reply back
You are the Bob Ross of wraps. 😂 I could watch you all day. Relaxing.
Yes!! I was thinking the exact same thing l, watching this. 😅
Been watching CK for awhile, He is like the Da Vinci of Wraps more especially PPF Carbon is what I've been watching
Your channel is the best when it comes to wrapping! Bought this vinyl and I´m using it to wrap plastic parts on a Ducati Streetfighter V4S 2021. Not easy, but its coming out nicely thanks to your instructions! Keep up the good work!
Love your content you should continue making more often I've learned alot from you and I decided to take a class and got certified as an installer watching you makes it much easier to understand why you do why you do!!!!
I love watching skilled artists in any profession amazing watching what can be done these days wrapping your car I could watch this all day stripes lights body work and styling ideas breath taking ❤ I actually have my car being done after watching you skilled artists do your thing 👍
Thanks Kristian hope I got the K right
Will start watching your videos...love the tech or physics part of this wrap...I'm a IT systems integrator so I can appreciate advancements in vehicle finish technology!
It's Christian, but it's all good. I'm glad that you enjoyed the video!
I’ve been watching your videos for a while now so I decided to wrap my hood and it came out perfect
Hey great video! Can you show an example of a car that has no tucking spots? How do you tape the edges to avoid water getting in?
This guy gets it, hands down. This is a well established business man right here. Keep doing what you're doing man!
CK, in your opinion, which carbon fiber wrap looks more like actual gloss carbon fiber, this product by FlexiShield or the gloss 6D by Tinybot you installed on the hood of that white Jaguar SUV about a year ago?
That's a good question?
Has Tiny Bot come out with 2.0 yet?
Xpel’s carbon fiber ppf looks AMAZING. I love love love installing it
Great job! Love your videos. So is this the latest and best CF film? Better than the tinybot film used in a previous video? Thanks for your time and teaching us the ways of the force!
Great video as always! Love the look of that carbon fiber.
Now this stuff looks legit unlike some of the previous CF wrap you made a video of. Thanms for sharing!😊
So a definite recommend for a Tesla hood? Any concerns with pealing it off later and causing issues with paint?
Damn, that is an incredible NSX. That spec looks amazing. That is definitely the best looking supercar.
You sir are a master at your craft and at teaching it to others!! Very impressed with the level of detail with this video. You make it look so easy. Question when stretching the carbon fiber, how sensitive is the material to actually deforming the carbon fiber pattern in the material itself?
That’s wrap is AMAZING, wish I had a local wrap shop to drive that to my roof for me
That Vinyl is absolutely crazy, I live in scottsdale and ordered some. That carbon vinyl looks real down to the fibers an gloss. I would highly suggest it. I used it on my porsche.
Have you experienced any delamination in film carbon fiber print? Several people I spoke to had it separate
First lesson I learned from this channel years ago was throw the release liner away immediately, got a chuckle out of you calling yourself out on it when you slipped. Keep up the great content 🍻
You sir are a master of your craft. This stuff looks amazing! Came out awesome!
I did the hood of a Model S in flexishield gloss carbon fiber and months later when the vehicle got some chips on the hood it did indeed fill with water around those areas. Usually dried back out but eventually caused some failures
sei veramente un grande , bellissimo video , io vorrei intraprendere in modo amatoriali il car wrapping e vorrei chiederti un consiglio sulle pellicole , secondo te quali pellicole potrei acquistare non spendendo una fortuna? almeno in Italia costano parecchio le piu' blasonate, non vorrei spendere una fortuna , grazie
Amazing product and great video as always.
Chris, you are a true master! Spectacular job.
In the 70s I did a gloss black on my bike the coverd a coat of clear I took a straw and lightly blow hollagram gliter over the intire bike another coat of clear and a light coat of the flakes and so on after 7 coats of clear I achieved that look u deserved the look was cosmic it was later stolen is was that beautiful and when light hit it u can say it exploded with that cosmic look to make that 50 bags of ten grams of dust will not work I suggest
Try a test az I did u can try to matching
To receive ur disered look great luck I hope u can achieve the look when accomplished its mesmerizing
Love the show I have learned so much
Keep up the good work
Happy fan scooter
Can you share the link of first dry vinyil from scratch testing? Please can you recomend best most black gloss vinil for interior, and also best mate carbon fiber look for interior,most black possible. In your opinion?
Hey what’s up man! Is there anywhere to buy your shirts? Specifically the one (or type) your wearing! Your logo is sick and the curved hemmed shirts are my favorite! That would be sick! Let me know Brotha!
Nice looking film. Wosh o could afford to take class to leran how to wrap and afford film. As single father of 3 and unemployeed its hard to make it work.
Keep up the good job. Looked at your videos for years now.
Keep your head up, things will get better. Can't imagine what it's like to have 3 children as a single father. We have 3 kids under 2 years old and keeps us very busy. If you have any room for spare time and can maybe find a shop to donate some of their leftover material that could be a way to get started. I give away material and tools all of the time to locals.
Thats a good idea and thx for the tips =) here where i live in sweden we dont have any companies who use vinyl wraping sad enough. But its totally worth of start looking around.
Thx for taking your time to give a response.
Very much apprecited.
Looking at your videos is what keeps me still motivated to learn.
@@tobbeh7780 that's interesting, I had to people come from Sweden for 1 on 1 training. Both of them are doing quite well but maybe it depends on the area?
@@CKWraps yeah the area is alot of the issue i think. Closest to where i live is about 3 hours by car wich isnt very far but far enough for now with low income.
And sad to say but in this country ppl rather throw leftovers away or still try to sell instead of give away.
But i will take your advise wich i really appreciate =)
Thx again for taking the time to respond =) appreciate it more then you think and keep do the awesome job with videos as you do.
Sir, you make it look so easy.
With the flexishield could I still use my pressure washer to clean my car?
Have you used STEK’s Dyno Carbon fashion film PPF? If so how does this compare in your opinion?
Why is an Acura NSX badged as a Honda? The hood badge has an H for Honda at 54:57 into video.
Acura is a North American brand, it's Honda in the rest of the world. The owner probably put that badge on
Do you have any videos to wrap the roof with a sunroof ? Great Video btw!
Love your videos, so much knowledge and helpful tips! I'm thinking about wrapping a few elements in a white carbon fiber. Do you have any product recommendations? (wing, mirrors, door handles, side skirt…for now).
How do you feel about tiny bot now? Saw your video a while back but I've seen some bad reviews since about the laminate peeling off. This product looks great and dual purpose but it's obviously a lot more expensive
Hi Christian, in view of this new film being PPF-based, how easy or difficult would it be to use cutting line tape. If it's fairly easy, would you expect the edge to cut cleanly?
I use 3M 2080 carbon fiber wrap, and it cuts well, but not so sure about a PPF-based film.
2080 is great, just not as durable as I would like (2 yrs max). If this was cuttable using a cutting line, it would significantly increase durability and save me alot of time.
Thank you for all you do to advance the DIY crowd!
Hey Stephen, you can use Precision Line to cut PPF and chrome. It works well and if done correctly it won't leave a frayed or jagged edge.
I’ve used design line on flexi shields cosmetic ppf. 100% does not work on traditional ppf but it worked really well with the cosmetic. 0 issues with knifeless breaking or fraying
merci pour ton savoir-faire et tes belles explications.
So thankful to the algo for bringing me here. Im now looking into this than the traditional vinyl wrap. Hopefully it wont be too expensive 😂
I've been watching a lot of car wrap videos and these are the best. It also doesn't hurt that you're foooooine.
Thanks you That was Real Crazy to see that for sure mine had got scratches and no matter what I did they go away but I Saw it no scratches awesome Product Thanks
Your videos are alway informative and educational. Badass! I turn to your and others TH-cam videos as a DIY tool and thank you and the community! I was a little disappointed when I searched the pricing of this wrap. I realize you don’t set the pricing of the products you use! I’ve purchased vinyl to do my own vehicle projects but of course I don’t drive a Acura! Thank you for the great video as always!
Bro thanks for the info! Lots of great tips!
Hi, could you please do a comparison between Stek and Flexishield carbon ppf?
They seem to be the only ones I can find online, but nobody's done a comparison.
Been watching your channel for years.
Gave me the confidence to wrap my own car with zero experience.
Massive thanks!
Hey Christian. Have you worked with Flexishield cosmetic ppf yet? Considering wrapping my car with it and was wondering if it is difficult to work with. Trying to find out if it leaves glue lines like 3M does if you peel it off trying to flatten out the material. Thanks!
literally been waiting for you to make this video since you showed off the PPF on the tesla no idea how i missed it
Hi CK how do you think this compares to Stek carbon?
BEAUTIFUL work... I always enjoy your videos
Nice 👍 appreciate all the details and info
Just a heads up, I live in the freezing cold winter in the Midwest of USA. I wrapped by car with PPF and on top of that a layer of vinyl. I didn't know how or why but my hood had a rock chip this winter. I thought it was damaged from the dealership but I couldn't prove it. So when I tested some spare wrap throwing rocks and small tools on some metal sheets, I found out the wrap becomes like hard plastic and becomes super brittle. I was very disjointedness since the film is already so expensive.
So how does this compare to the last carbon fiber vinyl you made a video on?
Bro I’ve never wrapped you make me feel like I can just order this and do it first try
The roof looks awesome🤩 mind sharing which wrap you used ? Sorry, Vid was kinda long and I didn’t catch it if you have mentioned it.
First to like! Haha love your work bro! Fellow wrapper in Singapore! 😊
Always top notch and thorough. Thanks.
I have to say,new fan here.
Wow! U are amazing!! 🙌 U make it look easier than it really is. Thank u! 👍
What’s the difference between flex & stek carbon fiber ppf ?
Car is gorgeous, and looks to be very quality work.
That roof looks amazing. That carbon fiber wrap against the piano black trim looks really nice. Man this could be what I have been looking for so long! I have a 2016 E400 Mercedes-Benz E400 with glossy interior trim. No matter how careful I am still it can easy scratch. Looking for something that is carbon fiber look. No need to spend so much $$$ on carbon fiber trim replacement or stick on which I don't prefer. Instead I can carbon filber wrap the interior trim. I like the fact its self healing as well. 👍
I’m sub 375 001 🎉 I honestly thought I subbed years ago.. haha. agree with everyone else. You’ve got mad skills in the wrap industry. Attention to detail is far beyond most people. I appreciate your effort and willingness to teach others. Thank you for your contribution to car culture! 😋
Wow.. that wrap film looks really good. And the scratch test at the end was really surprising. Cleared them right up when you added heat. Great video 👍
The flash hid most of the scratches. If you go back and look closely you can still see scratches in it. Ironically he moves the camera a lot quickly when showing that one in detail vs the others
It better look great and even better than that, that stuff is expensive! Check out their website! Unless I’m missing something their prices seem very high!
@@krazyd27he did hit it with a brass bristled brush though 😁 try getting those marks out of paint with a heat gun haha.. it’s ppf, just rip it off and go again if it’s that damaged 😉👌🏼
The exact video I was waiting to see. Great job CK
I love watching your videos, and I have been wanting to get into wrapping
Did you damage the weatherstripping i don’t want no leaking in the rain
Will knifless tape work on this film?? I have a 2023 honda civic TypeR and the roof is all one piece with the side pillars so there is nowhere to tuck on the sides of the roof.
My 06 mustang roof has some very thin rubber weather stripping all the way around the painted surface. i suppose with those plastic tools i can tuck it under the rubber?
The unsealed carbon can be ppe finished right? Which brand was that one?
What do you prefer, wet or dry wrap? Using the dry seems more difficult to me. But I’ve never done it and willing to learn
We'll never know
Went to they're site. Don't see a way to purchase. What am I missing? It doesn't say dealer only.
getting ready to wrap my first car
where can i order this wrap to practice with ..and what plastic do u put over it
Can the typical consumer actually order this stuff? or is this just for shops? i couldn't find how to order on their website.
Metrorestyling has it in stock to order, keep in mind PPF costs more than typical vinyl wrap though.
Very cool stuff, amazing video as always :))
Does tack reducer reduce the tack permanently?
Yes it does
What’s a good ppf product to use on plexiglass/acrylic t-tops?
Thanks for another Masterclass!
I likes the second time u rushed around the back of the car and kinda had a Laurel & Hardy moment with the banana peel lol for sure. Good job Christian!😂😂😂
You do a nice job wrapping
this is much better than the real carbon fiber
Do you know the carbon ppf from STEK? Its the best ppf carbon i ve ever seen.
it looks awsome i want my audi a3 roof done like this.
Bro, your close up videos are crazy! what about a Rattle snake wrap. That would be crazy! just my thought!
$2600 for 5'x60'!!! Who the hell is buying this!?
How does it compare to the STEK wet applied carbon PPF?
It's not appropriate to compare a wet install versus a dry.
Why
To be able to purchase this wrap you need to be licensed in wrapping and have a company and such? I’m a normal consumer and was wondering how I could get my hands on a good wrap like this
If in usa metrorestyling has flexisjhield in stock
Looks like you need to find a local dealer to order any wrap. No purchase options found on website.
Love the finish. Where can I buy it??
I like dry carbon with matte wraps. Stealth look
Link to this exact film?
how would you say this stacks up to tinybot vinyls 6d carbon fiber wrap? not sure if you mentioned it in the video i’m short on time to watch but a comment back will be appreciated. thank you!
The "padding" attached to the hood, is fire resistant. That being said, should stay. Incase of a fire, the plastic pieces that hold it up melt, allowing the "padding" to drop, and smother the fire.
Decided to try out flexishield on my car, let me say working alone, no tac reducer and doing hood made me swet lol i dont usually swet haha. Anyways it looked super glossy. Loved it, but now couple months have passed, i started to see dimples in a pattern on the ppf, could be because of cold or its just how this matterial sets after a while?
Which film did you use, was it the carbon fiber?
@@CKWraps FlexiShield High Gloss Chameleon i mean it looks amazing, but i just did it right before winter, and i keep car outside, now debating if i should do the whole car for advertising purposes or not
@@velocewraps PPF is extremely durable in all weather conditions, it's what it was built for so I'm surprised to hear there's something going on. Usually the sun is the worst enemy and not the cold. Places where there is high UV are often where issues are seen. I'm not sure what the dimples are but I haven't experienced that yet and I'm in Ottawa Canada. It gets to be below -40 here. I'd be interested to see what you're talking about but unfortunately pictures can't be posted in comments on TH-cam
@@CKWraps i tried taking pictures and just cant get it to show, its to glossy camera cant focus haha, for any other person who doesnt know i guess they wouldnt even notice those dimples, it does look kind of like orangepeel, but just at certain angle, other than that, i love the material and colors
@@CKWraps i was able to catch it on pictures posted in carwraps subreddit, if you could check it and give me your opinion on it, im debating that maybe it was my error installing for not using tac reducer
Where can I get that wrap on this car and what is it called? Plz
Would be cool if you tried the STEK Dyno Carbon and Dyno Black PPF. Seems like really good stuff.
Went to purchase some of this Flexishield carbon and the Metro store site says they recommend an edge sealing tape? Is this correct?
If you watch the video you'll hear mention many times that the edges needs to be sealed. Do you need edge seal tape? Not necessarily. But it depends on the type of edge.
this guy knows!
