    I have playing with some ideas for the Chevy C10 Shop Truck and a vinyl wrap was one of them...so I had to try it.

    For years and years ive wanted that generation of truck. Well.....pretty much.....I want that truck just the way you have it there. With all the custom bits. I personally, money aside, want it on airbags. Sort of something to take to car show from time to time.

    • @Thefabforums

      +jesse foulk Yeah this truck may end up on bags at some point...maybe a winter project

    Clean ass shop truck! Man that stuff is pretty much like laying tint. Try a soapy water solution. Not too soapy, just a little soapy. Keep the sticky side wet then squeegee and heat the bubbles out. Gotta be clean, clean, clean too! Air hose get the lint off. I hate laying anything like that.

    I watched this when you first put it up. at the time I was trying to figure out what to do with my fiberglass dash cover for my VW bug. I didn't want to get too carried away on it. I never really considered vynil wrap. and I think the brushed metal will work perfectly. great idea, thanks for sharing. I think your truck would look sharp I like the embossed effect too. I ordered a German Eagle/VW decal too, I think will look sharp.

    It took me awhile to figure out the difference between the two paint and wrap I appreciate you showing us your first attempt, and although I don't think it's that much of an improvement to Merritt putting in the effort for you to do it it's good practice and it sucks people in the comments didn't get it.
    The paint is better than the rap but a different more expensive wrap or LOL I don't know Flex Seal be cool to see

    a tip from when I was doing window tint ,get some baby shampoo mixed with water in a spray bottle ,spray the panel first then lay it down and push the air pockets to the edges

    • @Thefabforums
      @Thefabforums  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      that would be cool if this stuff worked like that. almost 100% of wrap material is designed to be applied dry

    I have done wraps before and if you use a spray bottle with a little dish soap and water in it and wet your area down before you apply the vinyl it truly helps with the application of it. you can slide the vinyl to desired location instead up pulling it back up and then just squeegee the water out from behind it after you get it where you want it and use the heat gun when needed.

    Your going about it all wrong you need to tack down a small area in the center of the panel your wrapping and the pull to all four corners so the vinyl has no wrinkles before you squeegee...never squeegee till the vinyl is stretched wrinkle free...I've wrapped many many cars. You can find videos on wrapping on TH-cam search "Justin Pate car wrapping" he has a bunch of tips

    Amazing how much closed minded negative feedback there is on this video. You can tell who are not fabricators. The ones that used their imagination to understand the purpose of this video and see what it could be have the right mindset to fabricate and build awesomeness. The negative comments completely overlooked the purpose of this video and dialed in on the defects in the material that he already warned you was crap and being used for a test. The best sense that I can make is that those negative people are probably only here looking for "Vinyl Wrap" videos and are not your Fabricating brothers.

      I have been welding and fabricating for the last 20 years, my Neices husband dose that wrapped for a living in the bay are of California he does that on building's BART TRAIN station what not. It's his truck he can do what he wants it will always come off eventually. My self I would not put it on any of my rides. To each as own that's what I like about the transportation auto world everyone has there own vision what why how it should look or be and believe me I live in California and I seen many many diffrent builds paints and anything else you can put on a transportation. I even watched men paint jet plane's then use that plastic wrap to put it on but they put some kinda coating over it to protect it from the high winds and weather even aircraft paint is diffrent from automotive paint.

    I'm not positive on this but I think the flat paint finish was giving you trouble not having any clear coat - smooth surface Is better You should have a company make a wrap with your business logo and just have them install it real quick If you trust them to Advertisement is everything...If you over-stretch it you will get fingers...and shrinkage in a few days...

    Kyle,
    I like the fab sticker idea. I'm not sure I like the wrap, if it's going to be a shop truck change the wheels to a vintage style and go with a distressed paint. like scuff it up in some places. Just a thought.

    kindah looks nice
    you where realy working that foil and i think this is one of the eazier spots to have it lay flat without wrinkles , i think you be foaming at the mouth once you get near the upper front corners (hood and coupound curves toward the headlights )
    i would set the truck in the sun for a while so you see if the the foil will lift from the inner corners like on the flare out of the fenderflare , there variations in quality and most of that is to the gleu they use and the UV resistance
    like the ghosting logo too
    since the truck is prolly going to represent youre company you might want to consider getting help from someone in the trade to at least do the harder to form stuff and give you some pointers on the rest it allso be handy for holding up and sticking the huge sheets ontoo the truck once the backing is removed

    If you sprayed the truck with soapy water it would a a lot easier to work with .. Then use a squeegee to push the water out from under the wrap ... It also helps prevent air pockets under the wrap that are a pain to remove ..

    • @Thefabforums
      @Thefabforums  8 ปีที่แล้ว

    @zeemanjr 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Looks like it will look good but I would have done the tail gate because #1 you would've had enough material and #2 there weren't as many curves to worry about but the only issue or problem you may have had is the lettering Chevrolet stamping but I'm sure you would've figured it out a smart guy such as your self.
    Regards and best of luck,

    • @Thefabforums

    • @zeemanjr
      @zeemanjr 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      cool man,
      I think that where you see the wrinkles around the top corner near the tail gate, all you need to add extra heat and stretch the crap out of it over the corner and flat area.
      Don't be afraid to give it the heat.
      I used to use something similar to cover RC air planes and that stuff would stretch and shrink soooo much it was unbelievable how robust it was.
      Good luck and keep the cool vids coming also don't forget to do a vid of the wrap job you do.
      Regards,
      Pete.

      no its actually an engineering marvel. They are made to be pulled on & off until pressed firmly in place, and have pathways made into the glue to let the air escape.
