@@Dreamingbigent if you still wanna do it and don't care about some seam lines, use blackout tape. Buy multiple rolls tho cuz 2 whole rolls weren't enough for the windows on my 2017 TLX. Looks pretty damn good tho
You came a long way dude. I watched your earlier videos where you used to wrap cars outside on your front driveway and now your here wrapping expensive whips in an industrial garage. Good work my dude.
I was researching on how to wrap cars to add to my tee shirt business and I came across this dude I subscribed and I’ve been hooked this guy is dope,keep up the good work 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
You da man! Keep up the awesome work! Also, there may be a lot of roof wrap videos already but I think many of us would agree that a roof wrap video from you especially around an antenna/ shark fin would be awesome. Your videos are top notch
Thankyou thankyou thankyou bro. Ive been watching alot of your videos, to learn better techniques, and i love your work. Ive only did wraps as a hobby but the past few months,ive learned hell of alot more tricks. And im now getting paid for my work, and setting up my own work station. Thanks for your vids,and tutorials
Love watching your channel and it gave me the confidence to do the trim delete myself! However, after doing the trim delete in gloss black Avery film I find that the areas that tuck under the trim or where you would stretch it at the ends to get a clean finish eventually peel back a little and I'm finding myself going over tucking it under before i go for a drive. I prep'd the surface and cleaned it with prepsol and starting to think that because I applied it when it was only 10 deg. Celsius the adhesive has not taken to the aluminium trim....or maybe it the design of the trim? For reference it's an Audi A6 avant.
Nah use Night shades aerosol can and the trick is to use krylon clear coat afterwards..did it on my charger and u can make it as light or dark as u want too ez peezy
Hey Christian. Huge fan. I have a question. Does most gloss wrap have an orange peel effect? I bought black rose from 3m and in my opinion, it looks like garbage. The orange peel is so significant I could probably get better results with a rattle can. Thanks for your time. Anyone else have input on this?
As a beginner, I found that it's worth it to cut the film following the general curve of the trim to eliminate relief cuts and alleviate the tension from stretching a straight piece.
Looks great/ I took my Subaru to a shop today in Cincy, all I have is the bottom window trim on chrome the rest is already black. I was thinking they’d say about 150-200, they said 550-700$!!😱 Prob take a pro about 30-40 mins.. needless to say I’m going to try this myself.
I totally admire your skill, but really, easier just to use satin black paint. Couple more minutes masking then two minutes each side to spray with a Rustoleum aerosol. Still, liked and sub'd
I did a chrome delete on my grill trim, and on all my window trims. Looks professionally done too! Definitely didn’t take me a longer than a hour and a half though. Could’ve been faster but it’s my first time doing it. I personally think it’s not worth paying over $100 or $200 or even way way way more! to get it done at a vinyl/Tint shop. DIY! People! Save you money and you learned something new.
Any chance you can tell me which line of Avery you prefer for this ? The 500, 700 or 800 series ? I'm guessing either the 500 or 700 series since you said you prefer it thin ? Or do you use the cast series ?
I want to be as good as you. nice & clean, well done. I did this on my Toyota Rav 4 and I realize it is so difficult to find the proper link to cut. And I end up cutting my rubber. T T
Ive been trying to get the front U chrome bar (it’s pretty small) on a nissan blacked out (2021 nissan versa) literally keep getting quoted $150+! Definitely overpriced, ill just do the shit myself
I have an Audi s5. Just took a look. I see the rubber seal on the top chrome is on top and bottom. So just gotta get blade in between rubber and trim, right. Looks like you have to wedge your blade in between the seal, because it’s pretty tight on the top seal. Also, On bottom trim, little easier. There’s no rubber seal on the bottom part of the bottom chrome trim. Bonus, the mirror is not in the way, it’s actually about 6 inches away from the corner of where most mirrors are, there actually a black plastic plate on that little corner, so I can do that part without removing mirror. Only fear is cutting the seal by mistake. But I’m might try it if I can’t find someone to do this job under $125. It it wasn’t such a nice car, I would just go for it, without being nervous lol
I am one to give an automatic thumbs down on channels who neglect to respond back to peoples commets when they ask for advice & questions, why bother post videos like this if a person that puts out anything but fails to respond back to peoples comments after months & months pass bye not responding back?.. again thumbs down👎👎
Nothing like a Red car or anything for that matter, wish the camera was closer so could see the detailed stuff, I have learned a lot watching your videos. Ty
I don't know if you did this video by yourself but, would be nice if had included some close ups on it. Most of the people watch this kind of videos on smartphone hard to see what you are doing.
I asked here in Finland how much it would cost to tape the chrome window trim on the sides (not the windscreen trim) and the rear arch. The price estimate was around 300e. I think that seems pretty silly?
Just pay for it to be done, shit never looks that great a few weeks after. You'll spend $80 on the stuff to do it with and it'll take you 2hours. Not worth it.
Hi Chris,I have a 2018 civic hatch (white). What would you recommend if I wanted to "white out" the civic badge on the rear? I see lots of people black them out, but haven't seen any "white out".Thanks
ducebigalow hey, I'm not Chris, but I would recommend to try plasti dip on the emblems. It's an easy job and with the proper masking and spraying technique will turn out good. When applied properly will last for quite some time. But all white sounds like a cool idea! Hope this helps a little!
Want to do this on a new Jeep Compass, too much chrome on those cars Want to wrap the front bumper chrome, window chrome, back window chrome Never done it before, advice?
Hey there Buddy, I little question here, my Audi has rubber window trim, hence it's a boring rubber color and I'm looking for that clean Gloss finish. I was wondering, is it possible to wrap window rubber trim? by prepping the surface properly and all that. Thanks bud!
Ive been watching a lot of your videos lately to learn more about how to wrap. I love your videos and the information you provide for people, but I have one complaint; you don't do enough close ups of what's actually going on when doing some of the finer detailed stuff.
You're right, these are older videos that I was doing more for fun. I have up close and detailed videos on my website www.ckwraps.com and everything is filmed in 4k. There are over 400 videos on the website with categorized sections like beginner 101, bumpers, advanced, mirrors etc. There's also an open discussion forum where members ask me questions which I answer every morning.
@@CKWraps I'll definitely check that out. You have greatly inspired me to start my own business doing this. Im going to do a full stripe today and I am ordering the material for a full wrap on my Audi to start my portfolio.
Cheers bud a good informative video, 👍 I have done a car previously which looked good but knew it could be better so thanks 🙏 for the tutorial, 🤔interesting to see very little use of the heat gun, which I will definitely take note of this time round 😀👍
Is that referred as a seal between the mirror and the window ? I had took off my whole seal just to tuck better but I can get the seal that goes in between my window and mirror to go back down the rail
Question please, you say you use Avery but the Amazon link goes to Vivid Carbon Fiber wrap, can you be more specific on the thickness of the film please, thanks
Love it! "Why do all the easy stuff and then get to the tough stuff and f--make a mistake" haha I appreciate your professional AND your day-to-day speech, man! heehee! Great video! Thanks!
it "looks" easy, but im sure it is not, but im gonna try and do it. I was wondering about the tape though. The Vvivid stuff doesn't have great reviews on Amazon. If that's what you use i would use it no problem. Do you use the vvivid? Also side question, what do you think of using matte black. I have a black car i wanna black out.
Have you had to wrap any Honda CRV exterior B pillars from fading? They call it sash tape. I was looking for a video on b pilllar removal and found your vid on lower door seals. The vids are great. I hope you can find a pov camera that you can comfortably wear.i want to see your knife up close. Thanks!
How well does this wrap hold up to hot weather? We live in a desert like climate and I'm worried that it will peel. And if it starts to peel can it be removed without damaging the chrome if it has been exposed to 100°+ heat?
Hi Christian, can you give me some advice on how to wrap a front bumper of a Pontiac Fiero GT 87. Do you have wrapping videos in old cars? Like Camaro's, Firebird's, Trans Am's etc. I am a big fan from Baja California, México.
I tried this and it keeps wanting to pull back on the ends. It's a 2008 Audi Rs6 and the ends don't have much surface area. It's like the vinyl isnt quite as sticky as it needs to be. Admittedly it's cheap ebay vinyl as I just wanted to give it a go. Tried post heating too but it still seems to lift after a day or so on the ends. Is there a particular vinyl that has a very strong adhesive?
CK makes it look easy cause he has been doing wrapping for many years. I am sure if you practice you can achieve results similar to CK. Just get your ass out there and start wrapping and stop degrading yourself.
I'm fixing my car up, and wanting to do this to my 2008 Honda Accord. Would you suggest doing this before or after I send it to the body shop to get repainted?
I’m about to do my b7 rs4 saloon as the aluminium trims have gone milky and there’s no way of cleaning it off. The trims are a huge job to remove and replace so I figured I will wrap them. Colour wise I’m doing it in Matt silver to keep the car standard looking as mirrors, radiator grill and wheels are all Matt silver. Thanks for posting such a helpful guide. Hopefully mine will look as neat as the job you’ve done on the Mercedes. Cheers
Painted quite a bit of trims that were wrapped...never pretty once I've taken the time trim off. Even if your extremely precise cutting it, Always a cleaner job and lasts when parts are removed so theres no peeling up. Good job though 👌
Can you show a video of a trim delete on a harder car? My 17 fusion has a very tight rubber lip right up against the chrome and a wide curved piece that i'm kinda lost on.
Would it be worth you investing in a GoPro head camera. So we can see what you see??
I have one, just need a way to mount it to myself
I don't want to wear it on my head because it's distracting
CK Wraps you can get a chest strap. Or get mrs CK to record 😂. She does a good job.
Chest strap it is
GoPro has a mount that mounts on fitted or flex cap when worn backwards. Regardless, thanks for sharing the knowledge!
I’ve been calling around and been getting quoted 300+ close to 800 smh I’ll just do it myself I have a 2018 accord sport
How did it go? I have a 2020 accord sport and thinking about just doing it myself too.
Never got it done as of late

@@becausereasons41 did you ever find a fix for this?
@Dominic Borrelli I painted them. Still holding up fine
Do you think the vivid dark tint for taillights would work for something like this? I think a dark smoke chrome would look sick on a black car
I've been thinking the same thing!
Nah use Night shades aerosol can and the trick is to use krylon clear coat afterwards..did it on my charger and u can make it as light or dark as u want too ez peezy
Car looks way better with that clean wrap job of yours!! Enjoy your vacation!
Why do ppl dont like Chrome?
I have a cla250 and I have been wanting to do a chrome delete at the same spot thanks for the help man :)
Should you run the heat gun over this after it is cut and tucked to activate the glue, or is it ok just sticking and only using heat where necessary?
To add to this. If you ONLY have a butane torch with no wired heat gun, will that work as well? Provided you don't set it ablaze of course. Lol

How long it will stay on chrome part? I have seen many cars after 5-6 months its start pilling.
Seriously wish car companies would stop with the shitty chrome! Looks terrible and cheap crap. Black is spot on!

Just pay for it to be done, shit never looks that great a few weeks after. You'll spend $80 on the stuff to do it with and it'll take you 2hours. Not worth it.
So is a heat gun only needed to help form the film in certain corners/angles? Doesnt have anything to do with adhesion?

In norway its being done for 700 to 1000 usd. And look its not so hard.
What's the easiest way to remove this?is cooked on my chrome trim which I love
I don't understand why people would want to delete chrome!
They have to much women in them ... never happy with what they have ^^
Its ugly and gay thats why
people that have black trim want chrome, and ppl that have chrome want chrome delete

Are you located near chicago.. I need this in my car
crome looks awsome no wur car looks ugly after black its coomon
