      @@efrainv7602 dont be scared- good tip is if you do it alone is to cut wrap out for the piece you need that then remove it in corner, cut it and seal it at that corner- you can also cut the backing slowly, you will secure like I sayd and then you will cut the backing in the middle, so you will have to deal w only part of the wrap sticking, check out CK, he has some good pro tips

    One thing I would add. If you haven't done it before, start with the smaller pannels to get some practice.

    I’d suggest not leaving the heat gun on the hood. If you bump it, the hot part of the gun could melt the wrap. Be careful. 👊🏻

    @epicnike1337 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    when using hexis wraps you should always heat it up to 90 Degree celsius when stretching it a bit more or going through tough curves so the wrap itself resets, that way the wrap gets a new "standard position" so when stretching it again and heating it will shrink into the new form and not the old form it had before you started.

    @VondaInWonderland 3 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    Thanks. 4 1/2 hours of sanding 😮 It looks like it's definitely a 2 person job. I've had my daughter's ugly van parked in my driveway for over a year, I was thinking this at least, would make it look nice until I get it fixed. Thanks for the tip on asking for returns ♥

    I know it's more work but, do you think it would be easier to wrap if you took the hood, fenders and maybe even the doors off and do them separately? What do you guys do with the door jambs???

    • @bradensmith7789
      @bradensmith7789 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      I doubt this would make it easier. Having the doors and fenders on the car is a much better position that having it laid on the ground.

    There shouldnt be wrinkles period... you are over relying on the heat gun which is resulting in the wrinkles....also Hexis has great colors but not to good for beginners ....i would suggest Arlon for beginners or 3m its really good and forgiving as terms of air release and lifting up if you make a mistake.

    Now, show us how to wrap the INSIDE of a vehicle. I am considering a vehicle with a black interior, which is entirely too dark for me. I would love to change the interior color (but not the seats - OK with the black leather there). Wanting to know how difficult it would be to change some of the hard plastic surfaces via wrapping.
