why not just paint it. i have done my whole interior years ago. it lasted the entire life of the car. prep work is key. sanding, cleaning priming, can even use 3m adhesive spray, the right paint as well. if you do it proper it lasts and looks better than most vinyls. clear coat spray cans are terrible. believe it or not i was able to use high quality polyurethane over black with no yellowing. i fiber glassed some items. used the epoxy resin as a clear coat in some areas.these were able to be waxed. the gloss was to intense driving in sunlight. it would become blinded at times on the dash. watch for uv damage with cheap clears. was a white car, black and deep blue interior trim. i had the best interior i have every seen to date. lost many pics over hard drive crash :( if a finger nail leaves scratches how is it going to look after a few weeks in real word use.
@@akqjtn soundproofing is like the cherry on top. i have done my car. if road noise is loud it helps. its not a must at all. use a liquid sound deadner where you can. much easier to work with. i happlied liquid over whole car,then those smelly asphat over certain areas, also open and closed cell foam in key areas help to. if you have a decent system its about impossible to stiop all trunk noise. its a bit of trial and error. your car will sound much quiter when passing cops. your system becomes a bit of a sleeper. once you enter boom. spray foam is a secrete.
What would we do without TH-cam and people like you posting vids such as these. Thanks so much for the demo. The factory paint has come off from high traffic trim pieces and this vinyl wrap will be just the thing to make it look nice again. I appreciate ur efforts and hope mine looks almost as good as yours. Cheers.
Don’t be afraid to take on this type of project. I’ve never wrapped a thing before in my life. I managed to do a pretty decent job on my Escalades wooden trim. I hated the shiny light plastic looking wood and wrapped it with a darker more natural looking wood it was also textured.
Definitely one of the better videos on wrapping trim. Great narrative and demonstration for the difficult areas - corners, inside and especially outside!
Definitely a great tutorial! Given I've just had this video, patience, the heat gun from a soldering station (set to minimum and carefully used as well), and got it perfect on my 1st try, definitely this video played a good part. Did it on a laptop LCD lid, mine is carbon fiber pattern and it really looks awesome now. The flat part is easy of course but the corners and rounded edges were tricky, but a little heat, stretching it just enough and patiently doing, it turned out perfect. Goes to show that with patience, the right tools (that don't even need to be fancy) and a great tutorial, anyone can take their hand at it and not be afraid. Also for whoever decides to do it with a hot air solder station: just set it to around 150ºc and maximum airflow, no nozzle, pretty much as little time with heat applied as he showed on video.
Yeah I already have access to every bit of kit through family business so will definitely be taking the full dash out of my car on a sunny day , full gloss black and gunmetal detailing I think 🤔
Dip comes off alot easier than this stuff specially interior where u touch everything. I did my rims and saw it come off within a year i know i didn't apply enough but as an amateur i wouldn't have thay problem with vinyl. How did it go for you?
I've been slowly wrapping the trim pieces of my car. I didn't have this video to help me along, but I'll be redoing them with help of this vid. Thanks for sharing!!
Came here looking to wrap or make trim pieces for my 2017 WRX and ended up finding a video for what I want😂 doesn’t happen to often it’s for the exact car you’re looking for
Finally a video that explains the vinyl process in detail. I have done my own wrapping in my car but I bought a cheap vinyl wrap from China which creates a lot of bubbles and it's very thick. It took me a long time to do it but I think I am going to buy a good quality vinyl and do it over again. Very good explanation made!
Great tutorial! Probably the best vinyl vid I've seen. I'm definitely going to try this out myself. Already taken the dash apart, I just need some vinyl now. I know you used 3M, but I'm wondering what's the best brand you'd recommend for interior trim like this. I've been doing some research, and people say that 3M can be kinda finicky. Got any videos on headliner repair, audio upgrades (replacing OEM speakers or sub box and wiring) or rally light installs? These are all jobs I'm doing to my car. I have a first gen BMW cooper that I'm working on as a refurbishment project.
Didn't know it would take this much time. Not sure if that's a good or a bad thing. Pros: I'll have an entire afternoon of spending on detailing the car. Cons: I will probably get frustrated when I mess up for the xth time. Anyhow, very solid tutorial. Thanks man. Looks OEM.
Very informative! My 4Runner has plastic inserts in the doors that are not removable, yet I want to wrap those sections. Will you provide a short tutorial video on that type of application?
you make it look so easy when in reallity it is terrifyingly hard xD wrapped some interior pieces just yesterday and almost pissed blood! still came out great but was a heck of work and sweat
Really well done and thorough, just wrapped a piece of cracked trim for the first time after watching. Not perfect but I'll get better at it. A cheap hair dryer worked for me.
What I would recommend is make the relief cut first making an X just mind how far the is reces you don’t want to cut the film you’re wrapping with I noticed even after making the square cut he still had the same amount of tension which leads to over stretching the material causing discoloration and warping of the pattern
Where do you get extra primer they never sent it in my packag? I have the same exact brand of wrap but silver carbon fiber, Also what's the temperature setting on the heat gun that you're using? My heat gun has exact temperature settings
Bro! Phenomenal instructional video! I’ve watched a lot of video, as I want to learn how to vinyl wrap, this is the best video BY FAR! Way to explain patience, techniques, the importance of different cuts, addressing the sharp corners, and showing the back view. You are very thorough! Way to go man, I feel 100% comfortable vinyl wrapping the trim pieces in my car now. You gained a new subscriber. Keep it up!
4:20 start in the corners, not the middle. if you start in the middle then by the time you reach the corners you only have a tiny amount of wrap left to stretch into the corners, meaning way more tension in the corners. if you start in the corners you have all that material in the middle to stretch towards the corners and way more even tension.
Your video was very help. I tried wrapping my 2012 Ford Fusion stereo surround. It didn’t come out at all. I never miss with this stuff before. I think I ordered the wrong wrap. I ordered vinyl wrap. To me it’s way thicker then what you have. Anyways, I keep practicing.
Just a question. Even on the first piece… why heat and press with all the tension, in stead of either splitting or trimming the center, then heating and working each side?
Watched this video 2-3 times already and i havent even gotten the wrap. Ill end up rematching it one more time right before i do it but im excited to start wrapping. Ill end up doing it in a week or two
Great video man, but quick question. Why didn't you cut out that inner section first to release some on the tension before moving on down? Were you worried you would cut off too much or is the vinyl just that pliable that you weren't worried about overstretching it?
After successfully fucking up the first time i tried this, im going to attempt it again after watching this. Lots of usefull tips in here and i can clearly see now what stuff i did wrong.
How did you remove the silver trim. The long pieces (the one on the left of the steering wheel and the one above the glove box)? Just pry them off? I dont want to end up breaking them.
Great video, thanks for taking the time to document the process. I keen to wrap my centre console and steering wheel trim. Do I need a heat gun with a possibly low setting of temp and airflow for this job? Don't have one and wondered if a 2 heat and airflow speed will do (450C and 600C, airflow 300/500mph)? Thanks
Thank you. I regret waiting to wrap the nonesense piano black in my Forester. Especially that my dog sits with my wife and scratched the console already
I would do a relief cut on the middle of the first piece prior to pressing into the middle. You will get rid of the tension, and it will go much faster.
best tutorial I've found! Incredibly helpful to see all the equipment needed and tips like making slits and using heat to your benefit on corners. Given me a lot more knowledge to wrap my own car interior pieces! Thank you great video man!
Thanks for the video iam wrapping similar parts for the first time,and this is exactly what i needed to see to get a feel for the amount of heat and stretching.gave me the confidence todo my stuff and it turned out great.i took my time cause thats what it takes to make it look like it came that way..
good tutorial..def dont need primer for those pieces not nearly enough stress. also when your "Bridging" gaps such as in your shifter bezel you dont wanna start in the middle as you said...you would want to heat the vinyl slightly and push into the center of the stretch then work outwards twords the edges...this puts all the tension and stretch on the largest flattest surface as apposed to the edges. This is the same method used for door handle cavity's and license plate areas.
Corey Van Leeuwen, in my opinion, Boost & Shutter did a very good job, but it seems like you have experience in vinyl wrapping as well, would you be willing to show us on video how to do it your way so we can get a more direct understanding ? if so can you tag me or send me the link once you do it..thanks in advance.
@@tinoz3652 check out ck wraps tutorial on license plate areas or any door wrap with a handle included.. I dont have the equipment to record at the level CK does so his tutorial will be much better. Besides he trains people to install wrap where as im just a student.
FYI for everyone watching. You start with the corners first, not last. Also cut out the center or open spaces sooner than later to relieve tension from the beginning. Overall good video tho.
And if you are using 3m you can bet it's a breathing vinyl meaning air literally can't get trapped, even in thick textured vinyl. Just push it out and make sure you watch for folds ;)
Love this video I’m buying a car for my channel and im gonna have to wrap some pieces Of trim and I’m worried but this definitely made it less scary seeing you work with it so much was great :) cause I was worried you had to me like the flash or it would dry and be done 🙏🙏this was great thank you!!!
Not a fan of gloss black interior every car seems to have now so this is great! Also glad to see you didn't do a carbon wrap, I think that looks awful to. Brushed steel = very nice
Going from wood to 3d Carbon Fiber, changed my shift knob from wood to black leather as well with I think I'm gonna do my steering wheel aswwell, ( it's a 2000 Lincoln ls so it's going to be a Luxury/ sports look in my hope
this was an overall good video but I do have an issue with the first trim piece you did if you started at the low inside parts you would not have any tension would not need the heat gun and would not need to stretch the vinyl and would lay relaxed and not pull up in a year or two. basically, if you have tension and need to stretch with heat your not doing it right. heat and stretching is a last-ditch tool should not be the first thing you go for.
Looks clean. Your tutorial videos are well made, with clear explanations. What's your next project?

For once a tutorial that show's how to do a tricky job rather than the most easy part like most tutorials.
This is perfect for someone whos just bought a first car with very basic interior, nice seat covers and this and the car will look perfect

Interior wrapping is a great way to give a modern vibe to older car
Man, you're really good at explaining things
Great video. Most clear, easy to understand and informative wrapping video I’ve seen yet. Has reinspired my confidence to give wrapping another go!
You just convinced me that I should dip everything....
Dip comes off alot easier than this stuff specially interior where u touch everything. I did my rims and saw it come off within a year i know i didn't apply enough but as an amateur i wouldn't have thay problem with vinyl. How did it go for you?
@@dukedizzy you didn't do it right then dip last just as much as vinal or paint
@@abinsaji4449 Lmao no it does not. Complete lie.
@@Luckingsworth yea it can if done correctly and applied properly it can last 3years or more it shouldn't come off when you touch it
@@abinsaji4449 Vinyl will last indefinitely if applied correctly.
I just attempted to do a wrap yesterday on a small trim piece, needless to say, it didn't work out so now I know what to do I'm going to try it again!

Black on black is the best way to go..awesome video thank you
na.. that's the easy way.. Silver highlights are the best Definitely make the interior pop

I appreciate the points you chose emphasize. Great tutorial. Saved for future reference.
Really great video, showed me what I'd been doing wrong! Still think I'll struggle to achieve that finish but gave me some confidence to try again.

Same issues for me
Thanks man im gonna try to give my mustang a retro look by using wooden wrap, then I'll permanently install the "9D carbon fiber wrap"
The best way is to hit the deepest recesses/corners first. the flat is the easiest part but you have feed as much vinyl in to the deepest parts.
wow, just wow. cant wait to try it myself for my car.

Totally agree, too much unnecessary stretching going on because the corners weren't done first and tension not being released.
Good camera work, i ordered a gauge pod from XLR8 for my 08 Civic Si and I got some CF vinyl, let's see how it turns out.

this was an overall good video but I do have an issue with the first trim piece you did if you started at the low inside parts you would not have any tension would not need the heat gun and would not need to stretch the vinyl and would lay relaxed and not pull up in a year or two. basically, if you have tension and need to stretch with heat your not doing it right. heat and stretching is a last-ditch tool should not be the first thing you go for.
