harder than it looks man, you're an expert. I've used that tape a lot of times, and it always left jagged edges. but i was never working with a nice flat hood either..
how do you use the wired-tape for the round mercedes-benz logo in the center? would you have to use the blade for enclosed areas like that? I dont see a way getting around that unless there's already a precut hole in the center for the logo to show.
You should be able to use the knifeless tape on most vinyls. We like our 3M vinyl and do not use much Oracal vinyl but is should work just the same with it.
Desy G Generally a blade is easier in that case. (at least in my experience) The key, whenever using a blade near the surface of the vehicle, is to think about your angles. In a case like this Mercedes emblem, I would cut parallel to the hood, between the hood and emblem. That way you aren't cutting into the factory paint.
how to do you get of vinyl that get the circle scratches all over? i wrapped my car but my matte came out with circle scratches i think from my squeegee
+Phil B I have removed quality vinyl designed for wrapping many times. Properly done within 4 years is usually a clean removal with only occasional residue which comes off with some adhesive remover. It is after the 5 year mark that you begin to have break down of the mostly horizontal sections and removal can sometimes be much more difficult which is why we have a max time allowance and bill hourly after the max time has been reached.
+Laszlo Keszthelyi Sounds like you've done this to a MINI. Are you stretching cut stripes over the the wings and then cutting around the wings, or are you actually making the stripes out of wrap? I bought some new stripes for my Countryman and I'm trying to figure out the best way to deal with the wings.
+Shane Wendel Properly designed pre-purchased stripes should look crooked or wavy to contour to the wing and come out straight once installed. If you got straight cut stripes they will almost always come out less then acceptable. I use construction lasers to create & line up my lines and wrap the wing with knife-less tape then wrap the wing to get vinyl laid down with less, stress which lasts longer, then trim with the knife-less tape. Works perfectly for my one off jobs. More frequent applications I will design stripes to be cut on my plotter that lay down straight, which I sometimes use knife-less tape to trim the design material which I then remove it from the vehicle and digitize flat.
Wasn't just 6 minutes to do the vinyl that is included in the $200 charge...you need to add the cost of the material, labor and overhead, setup time, etc. to get the cost. Then you need to mark up your cost for the profit in order to keep the business going. Nothing is free, my friend.
0:56 is the point where every speck of dust in the world has attracted to the underside and adhesive.... Then 1:00 any remaining glue tack catches on my shirt as I grab the sheet & that concludes my project.

Why is this satisfying to look at? :D
First guy ive heard say 3m is the best. Most vids I watch rarely even use it and when they do speak of it its mostly about the cons. Interesting
What prevents the edges rolling up over time ??
what brand vinyl is this mate? the air release is amazing!
It's 3M 1080 series.

how would you cut round mercedes emblem? use the knifeless tape or blade?

@marketyourcarinc. Doesn't this leave a bit a green film from the wire underneath the wrap though?
Is there a reason why you don't use any application gel ?
how to do you get of vinyl that get the circle scratches all over? i wrapped my car but my matte came out with circle scratches i think from my squeegee
you use a squeegee with a felt edge
do these wraps leave a sticky residue if you want to remove it after time?
No not really (I know this is from a long time ago)
+Phil B its 3M (good brand, leaves very minimal glue residue). Cheaper brands sometimes do though.

can you please tell me the name of that tape and where I can get it from
Tts called "Knifeless Tape" and you can probably get it from a local graphics distributor/supplier.
does this knife less tape work on the carbon fiber vinyl?
Yup use it all the time. They make thicker versions of the knifeless tape. I prefer that for the thicker carbon and other textured films.
can you use this tape to cut regular vinyl like oracale 751 ?
Yup again, a favorite for applying rally stripes, especially full 360 wraps around rear wings.

This video should be called: How to wrap the center of a hood in 6 minutes.
with my bad experience with ebay wrap, this video kinda pissed me off... it looked so easy!
Hahaha f### I’m hearing ya Try the Shit off Wish , I’m on my 3rd shipment to Australia for my Bonnet , But the rest of the House looks good lol
belt tape dispenser! YES!
qual o nome da música??
i wonder if the owner of that car knew it only took 6 minutes but was taxed $200
A lot of things in life are very easy and fast to do, people don't want to take the time to learn how to do it. That is why you pay $200.
Jeremy hows working at Burger King working out for ya?
I wouldn't know. I'd imagine its a whole lot better then being a dick on the internet.
Jeremy Pena Well played Jeremy well played.

just made this lil so simple like a caveman can do it lol imma try in do my hood lol
You didn't wrap the hood in 6 minutes.. You forgot the back end of the hood and under the emblem.. And it wasn't an entire hood haha.
where can i getit?
"Kompressor" is an engine, not a model.
kompressor is a component for forced induction...not an engine
Kompresor is a model Spec as they are supercharged. Not an engine.
Kompressor is German for "Compressor" Forced air induction or Supercharger.
honestly ... that looks terrible... i mean nice work, sure, but the result is shit
+David Beecroft youre saying that on all fucking YT videos
says you...look around ,its everywhere...i see now...everyone has poor taste except you and you know what looks cool ,rire?
