Your videos are awesome dude. Never knew what car wrapping was until my cousin contacted me about a month ago asking if I want to work for him. So far has been a trial and error but you are a savior.
I wrapped the roof of my 2017 Mustang earlier this week and this video really helped me a lot. You aren't lying about Avery.... I originally tried to wrap it with 3M 1080 and it had all the crappy issues you described in your video where you did the yellow on the hood of the Ferrari... second time around I used Avery 900 gloss black, not a single bubble nor wrinkle. Thanks for putting all the effort into these videos, they're really helpful!
is it gonna be doable by myself? I wanna wrap my roof and the side pillars and the side mirrors of my camry. and the only professional place in our area for this is asking 500 dollars for this. so stupid.
@@lsedanolg its all patience and learning... I got a stretch mark, few glue lines and actually burned a hole first time doing a hood. Spent 10 hours getting the first mirror done with its angles. Rear trim piece i did 3 times to get it right since it wanted to bubble up around center emblem area (high tension zone). After that things started getting easier learning how to make relief cuts where needed and learning the angles. Its not something you really get first time. Ive only worked with vvivid, so the easier film used starting out is best. Learned from my mistakes.. we were pulling too much out doing the hood. Need to just lay it flat and let things fold over edges
Bill I have a mustang as well (S550). How did you finish the wrap, along the sides of the roof? There's a small valley that runs from front to back windshield...but no opening to tuck the wrap into.
Thank you for the video! I never wrapped a roof before and with your tutorial my roof turned out flawless!! I followed everything to a tee, same viynl, steps and tools and all by myself!
About to go on my own wrapping adventure with my 2007 Mitsubishi Galant. These videos have given me the confidence to do it myself. Thanks for all the great tips and tricks and detailed explanations of everything. Keep up the awesome work!
I would also advise you guys to spray just some water on the top of film once it is laid so that when you squeegee the vinyl, you know where you have done it and where you have not and it also prevents to scratch any gloss black or satin black film. I have particularly noticed these mistakes in high end shops as well I have had 99% success doing this so would request you to try this method out
Thanks for allowing apprentice to do this. As a novice myself this video is totally relevant to a first timer.. I just picked up Hyundai Elantra N-Line and think it will be a challenge for me with the shark antenna and sun roof.
I gotta tell you man I really appreciate your videos as I'm gonna wrap my car with Avery Rising Sun next year. Great commentary while doing fantastic job at the same time. Keep it up!
Good narration - good teaching - triangle was a neato trick. Thanks - I am going have go at this with my nephew's car as I feel more confident after watching this. Have a nice day. CHEERS from AUSTRALIA.
One thing I have noticed is that all the beginners are doing when they finish cutting a piece of vinyl is they rush with the cut at the end, like at least twice as fast as they were cutting it before reaching the end. Instead, look at CK, at the end he finish his cutting keeping the same speed. The reason for that is that the chances of your blade to jump and cutting on the paint are very, very high. I know this from self experience and I have seen others doing the same thing 😄 So take your time and don't rush, because you can ruin your nice job,right at the end of it.
Doing this today with hi gloss black from vivid on my Cruze. The hardest part seems like it’s taking the shark fin antenna off. Started carrying kayaks and I don’t want the roof racks and straps etc damaging the actual paint. Thanks for the vid!!
If you’re doing vivid , don’t peel off the whole sheet like these guys did. Vivid is super sticky and is a lot harder to pull off. I will be trying Avery next time for sure
excellent video! very clear and concise. I have one question, I would like to wrap my roof, but the clear coat on my rood has began to peel, should I sand and feather out the clear before applying the wrap? thanks
Just did the roof of my 02 bugeye wrx. Vivid matte metallic purple. Very fun to work with. Very high tech stuff. Had alot of fun. Didn't consider it work at all. Would love to wrap for a living.
Planning on doing a diy wrap to the roof of my Altima. This video was great and really gave me some good insight as to how to go about it. Really liked how easy the Avery went on so I think I'm going to go that route!
I’ve been doing vinyl graphics and wraps for almost 20 years and you’re literally the first (and only) person I’ve heard say they prefer Vvivid over 3M. Not saying Vvivid is horrible, but preferred over 3M? You definitely know what you’re doing and the roof looks good, but I’m also surprised to hear you recommend Avery for first timers considering how easy it is to overstretch, not to mention how careful you have to be when using heat. With 2080, or even 1080, you can literally remove the backing, crumple it into a ball, and with a little heat bring it back to perfect. I will admit 3M’s Carbon Series, especially in matte, can get extremely brittle when handled in cooler temps. Vvivid definitely costs less than 2080, even their Premium line is priced very well. Personally I think Vvivid is great for piece work, such as rockers and lips. Avery is ok for wraps but is the best choice for plotted work, such as signs. 3M 2080 is my favorite for complete vehicle wraps by far. Your channel and content is great! 👍
Would love to see a wrap of the C6 Corvette halo pilar. The center is an inlay and the edges have a compound curve wich tends to pull the wrap out of the inlay.
Hello my roof is a mess and I want to do a wrap. I don’t have a job and want to save money. I was wondering what kind of glue or anything for this to work on Avery wrap. Please advise and also I have fading roof I own a Honda Pilot. Please provide product information to start of thank you very much love your videos
Le quiero dar las gracias a Ck, vi varios de sus videos pude colocar el vinilo en el echo de mi coche, al 2do intento quedo bastante aceptable pero..... Parece muy fácil pero no lo es.., a ellos si, son profesionales, incluso el chico que forra ese techo. pero no crean que a Uds. les va a salir igual... una idea es usar agua jabonosa, como cuando se instalan las laminas para oscurecer los cristales. una cosa que yo hice fue dividir la lamina en dos mitades y así fue menos traumática la experiencia.

Una cosa si es cierta, el uso de la pistola de calor es fundamental para quitar las arrugas que se les van hacer en el vinilo además para vencer la memoria del material pegarlo a superficies difíciles, ángulos, curvas, convexidades, concavidades y un largo etc. Para terminar me hubiese gustado que explicara como quito la antena alea de tiburón así hacerme mas fácil la vida
Think I can do a gd job wrapping my vauxhall astra from white to metallic purple after watching yr vids...wheres best to order fromthats not to expensive and delivers to ire ?
Great job guys! Definitely informative. For the vinyl that the first guy squeegeed down, between the front of the windshield towards the rear windshield.. Was the vinyl heat shrinked to make the edges straight after being cut?
If anyone is watching this and thinking about using Vivvid, be warned! Vivvid will not pull tight and smooth like the Avery in this video! Get the Avery and do it stress-free the first time. Maybe vivvid is a good product for other applications (smaller areas/less curvature), but for my roof it was a nightmare to work with!
I tried wrapping my roof last week with vvivid and it was not nearly this manageable. It was super sticky and thick and was impossible to get on without a million bubbles, and I’m not new to wrapping. Ended up throwing out the whole roll, hoping I can get Avery and do it with that.
I think what I'm going to do is pull back half the backing and do center to front and then center to rear. That way I'm only dealing with positioning half the film making it manageable. Then peel back and squeegee down as i move long, basically how I just did full car length stripes. Very easy. Trick is though to fold the backing in to make a crease fold where u cut it, so no cut fibers tear pieces into the film glue. If I was using this avery I'd just do it this way, but again I'm using vvivid cf xpo. I know exactly what u mean regards to its thickness, wrinkles and bubbles as I did a hood with it
really good video, but I wish you would have included taking off, wrapping and reinstalling the water sill trip part. Would it be reasonable to wrap all that with one sheet? I do not use the roof rack part of my car
I wouldve liked to see that as well since I'm doing my hyundai tomorrow. He did state he has videos of dismantling some bits, but it would be nice having its own dedicated channel to cross ref. Edit I found this vid.. its particular to hyundai. But same technique where to pull up. Ck has a video on a Honda where they have a front clip near windshield only. All makes are different th-cam.com/video/-sEtpYfziWc/w-d-xo.html
I bought the Vvivid carbon fiber aswell, and im glad with the results its been about 1 month so far... Pretty easy to install the interior in my opinion. Im going to do the hood and front bumper aswell. Ill post a video when im done with project
@@daddyo824 it's learning, the Avery was a lot easier to handle thought came out really good. I like will probably attempt do the entire car when I get some time off
@@jawsilent13 I'm going to give it another shotusing the Tack Reducer. You may want to look into it, supposed to make it easier to work with. Good luck on your project
Can you give me a good vinyl in matte black for a beginner? I bought VVivid XPO from Amazon, and it was extremely difficult to work with. I had all kinds of bubbles, and couldn't get rid of them. Any pointers, or ideas?
Could I possibly send u a few pics of a job I just paid decent money for, just to get your opinion and if u think possible any tips on how i may be able to attempt to fix it?
Hey man anyway you could show a car with a sunroof? This was perfect for me cause I have a bk2 genny but I realized at 22mjns this one has no sun roof so I’m not sure what to do at that part, comment back if it’s just a simple cut out around in with an extra 1/8th inch to tuck ? Going to order and try it next week. Where is your shop?
I’ll do my roof tomorrow, can you tell me do I need to use heat gun to just make sure bubbles not show up, after is wrapped? Or what’s the temperature needs to be after wrapping? Thanks
Yup to add what Dallas said, let the film drape over edges without pulling. Especially important with 3m from a video of their tech doing a trunk, as pulling can make glue lines too. Always post heat at end really good. I use 500-800. The key thing is from the one car I've done so far is you won't have pull back if you're able to tuck the film under something ie: quarter inch under hood, then trim a bit. Which is important taking the car parts off like headlights.
First off thanks for your videos! Ive done some small wrap projects and Im about to tackle a roof for the first time. Im looking at my car and both the front and back windows of the 3series BMW have no rubber in-between the glass and paint. There is a somewhat large gap so I'm wondering if you have any pointers on how to finish the front and back without exposing any paint. Thanks!
Minimum 75 feet roll for a whole car which will run you like $600 or more. For hoods and roofs I usually get 10 foot or 12 for extra and should only cost about $70. I bought online through Amazon because I had gift card, which gets it from the manufacturer. If your ordering big like 50 foot rolls, u can get a discount from ck, I think 20% off
I'm thinking about wrapping my Audi S5 roof but it has a glass roof in the middle. Is it better to lay wrap over the entire roof and then cut it for the glass, or just wrap the section in front of the glass and then wrap the section behind the glass?
When I've do similar job on my F30 Vinyl wont go off so easy like this one. When was on roof it was realy hard to pick it up for repositioning. And my job wasn't finish.
I've seen vivvid nightmares. Especially at my wrap school. My friend had black fenders one week and the next week he took vivvid off and it was gray with glue. Still have pictures
Wrapped my first roof yesterday.... looked good, woke up this morning... still looked good..... that mid day sun hit it and bubbles just start poping up
@@DJRichKidd1 also post heat very good before you take it out to sun. The heat gun will bring out the bubbles first or any potential stretch backs, like around door handles (which i discovered). I didn't take them off to fold wrap inside unlike I did the gas tank cover and all lights
Please can you tell me how to tackle the roof of the latest edition Toyota RAV4 (2019 onwards). The rear of the roof has some raised (moulded) areas, meaning it’s not an entirely flat surface. I’m unsure if you need to start with the raised areas and work outwards, or the other way round? Thanks!
I greatly respect the fact that u let a beginner wrap with u on the channel
Shows a lot about your personality and it does help other beginners
you guys are honestly the most helpful wrapping channel ive seen so far, so clear and informative. Thank you for this tutorial so helpful

how was the vinyl roof wrap? did it stay the 5+ years?
Nice work brother. The fact that you're filming too! I wish I had the time and patience in my life to wrap our cars. Thanks!
GREAT JOB Andrew and under pressure ,,Sounds like a Very Good Teacher Also
Well Done Guys
You guys do such an amazing job. Attention to detail is phenomenal. It's the little details that impress the hell out of me.

@@Rossvallance a few mistakes here and there but man I love it. Did it in a rock gray. Car looks great.

Thank you for all your videos. The more I watch your channel the more confident I get in wrapping my car.
I like that you rarely cut or edit videos. Gives me an idea of how long it'll take in real time

Great videos guys. Watching and learning so I can attempt to do my truck

Good job guys,
I like how to wrapping the cars also how you make it easier to us.
Good luck guys

Thank you!!! I was thinking about going with vivid but I'm glad to see other options are just as viable! ✌
Is the wrap safe going through automatic car wash brush? Will it worn out the paint wrap over time?
👍 Great video!
Awesome
well explained, well displayed ,well executed.

He has company interest with vvivid that’s why.
That's what I was thinking 😂😂. 3M is a massive company, there's no way a noname like vvivid and avery would be better.
Would love to see a wrap of the C6 Corvette halo pilar. The center is an inlay and the edges have a compound curve wich tends to pull the wrap out of the inlay.
You can also spray the vinyl with water to help you identify where you have already squeegeed
What is the room temp when you're putting this down?
Hello my roof is a mess and I want to do a wrap. I don’t have a job and want to save money. I was wondering what kind of glue or anything for this to work on Avery wrap.

I'm sorry if I sound dumb but I'm still a tiny bit confused on bridging the gap. Do you just leave a tiny gap between the 2 parts?

Una cosa si es cierta, el uso de la pistola de calor es fundamental para quitar las arrugas que se les van hacer en el vinilo además para vencer la memoria del material pegarlo a superficies difíciles, ángulos, curvas, convexidades, concavidades y un largo etc.

Damn I spent hours on the roof with vivid. The fact Avery is pressure sensitive I should have started with Avery first.
Think I can do a gd job wrapping my vauxhall astra from white to metallic purple after watching yr vids...wheres best to order fromthats not to expensive and delivers to ire ?
great work! I have a Lotus which has a composite body, what do you use instead of a magnet?
Great job guys! Definitely informative. For the vinyl that the first guy squeegeed down, between the front of the windshield towards the rear windshield.. Was the vinyl heat shrinked to make the edges straight after being cut?

I’ll do my roof tomorrow, can you tell me do I need to use heat gun to just make sure bubbles not show up, after is wrapped? Or what’s the temperature needs to be after wrapping?
Thanks
I did mine in the sun like an idiot but it kinda helped all I had to do was lift it if there was a bubble and then the sun would be the heat gun.
Also put the tension in the middle dont put tension where the edges are or it may peel
Yup to add what Dallas said, let the film drape over edges without pulling. Especially important with 3m from a video of their tech doing a trunk, as pulling can make glue lines too.
Always post heat at end really good. I use 500-800. The key thing is from the one car I've done so far is you won't have pull back if you're able to tuck the film under something ie: quarter inch under hood, then trim a bit. Which is important taking the car parts off like headlights.
Is there anything wrong with cutting back the seal a little bit and then filling with silicone?

First off thanks for your videos! Ive done some small wrap projects and Im about to tackle a roof for the first time. Im looking at my car and both the front and back windows of the 3series BMW have no rubber in-between the glass and paint. There is a somewhat large gap so I'm wondering if you have any pointers on how to finish the front and back without exposing any paint. Thanks!
It’s helps to have an 8’ wingspan like this guy. Using Vivvid is impossible. It sticks too quick and wrinkles like crazy. We gave up and took it off.
This guy is like 5'3" and has trouble feeding himself due to his short arms.
This will be my first time wrapping a car. How should I buy the wrap/vinyl? I'm not sure how much I will actually need
Minimum 75 feet roll for a whole car which will run you like $600 or more.
For hoods and roofs I usually get 10 foot or 12 for extra and should only cost about $70. I bought online through Amazon because I had gift card, which gets it from the manufacturer. If your ordering big like 50 foot rolls, u can get a discount from ck, I think 20% off
Great video I’m wrapping Friday can you give me pointers for the corners
does this protect the paint underneath from uv damage?
I'm thinking about wrapping my Audi S5 roof but it has a glass roof in the middle. Is it better to lay wrap over the entire roof and then cut it for the glass, or just wrap the section in front of the glass and then wrap the section behind the glass?
When I've do similar job on my F30 Vinyl wont go off so easy like this one. When was on roof it was realy hard to pick it up for repositioning. And my job wasn't finish.
Is it really necessary to heat it when you’re doing wrap? I’m wrapping my own cars hood and rear defuser. Thanks
Tried with vvivd, the most difficult and unworkable vinyl wrap out there…This Avery wrap is a dream…glass dream
I've seen vivvid nightmares. Especially at my wrap school. My friend had black fenders one week and the next week he took vivvid off and it was gray with glue. Still have pictures
Amazing work! I have a question. Why you did not used heat? I was thinking you heat it at the end to better sticking. Is it bad idea?
Idk maybe heating is for the wrinkles you aren’t able to get out
What is the Avery vinyl called that was used? Can't make out the product too much echo at the beginning
Wrapped my first roof yesterday.... looked good, woke up this morning... still looked good..... that mid day sun hit it and bubbles just start poping up
+DJ Rich Kidd apply more pressure and make sure you're being thorough when you squeegee. Those are usually the main two reasons why that happens
CK Wraps ok thx... I'm watching all your videos, I have enough wrap to do the whole car... wish I could show u pics
@@DJRichKidd1 also post heat very good before you take it out to sun. The heat gun will bring out the bubbles first or any potential stretch backs, like around door handles (which i discovered). I didn't take them off to fold wrap inside unlike I did the gas tank cover and all lights
Here in Melbourne they quote 4k for car wrap
Also, I don't have trim to separate my roof from the rest of the body, it's just a line in the paint. How should I handle that?
What color was the vivid that's on the car?!? That's what I want for my car
Please can you tell me how to tackle the roof of the latest edition Toyota RAV4 (2019 onwards).
The rear of the roof has some raised (moulded) areas, meaning it’s not an entirely flat surface.
I’m unsure if you need to start with the raised areas and work outwards, or the other way round?
Thanks!
Great job guys..., what would be a price to have the hood wrap with a sun roof, If you can elaborate...
Can i do this to cheap brands of wrap?
Why was there no heating involved in this wrapping. It wasn't heated during or after the wrapping? Was it not needed?
The less heat the better, Rule of thumb! Less is best.
Where can I get a triangle like that ?
