Sir!... wow! Just wow! I can't believe this video is actually free. Thanks a lot man!! I did my friends car in 6 hrs but it was my very first time. You rock! Thanks again
Thank you. I absolutely love watching people wrap cars. In want to get My hands in there so bad. I have all the tools ordered and am waiting on my first roll of material.
Take their avery dennison class. If you choose the right one he may even be teaching the class himself. But the other instructors are fantastic as well. Its pricey but you become a certified avery denison installer and that's very valuable to wrap shops.
Incredible display of expertise and knowledge, this guy communicates it well and people like him who are an expert in their field and can teach something so well are hard to find.
5 years late..but def! I've been installing for 15 years, and there is always room to grow and learn something new. But Justin Pate is on a whole other level though...probably the best I've seen actually. Would really like to take a class with him 💯
Thank you, I think this video prepared me really great for my first practice. I tend to be careful but now I know how hard I can pull and in what direction.
i was gonna paint my car till i found this , i thought at first vinyl wrap was same as window tent , no this guy make me wanna get out and do my own wrap. cool teacher , thanks very much ,
Jim will know how hard to pull by pure instinct. It's all about feel and experience - just like anything. Also, I've wrapped small shit like a few pistol slides and whatnot and I question the ability of the adhesive to remain durable after 2 dozen sticks and lifts like you guys are doing. That glue isn't invincible. "Wrappings cars is kind of like going to the gym". That's a legendary quote
wow, I have been doing this very thing for years . I did not know it had a name . cool . the amount of stretch you can apply will always depend on the type of material you are using an the air temp you are working in . its easy and fast to get the stretch you need on a warm , mostly sunny day . 80 to 85 degrees is good for a tan and a workout . the warmer the air temp , the less strong stretching you will have to do . just be sure to lay down the material as you move around the bumper as the sun and the warmer temp will cause the air-release feature not work as well . don't be afraid of the sun , it can save time and stress on your back after a long day .
This is a great way for your material to shrink back to its original form due to heat over time and now you have catastrophic failure. Only glass unless it really calls for it like trying to get around convex shapes. Leaving the vinyl in it’s original state on a nearly flat surface ensures that you won’t get your material to pull back up.
this is incredibly helpful. i thought i would rip the vinyl with a decent bit of tension and was scared to pull. currently wrapping my car for the first time and have messed up the bonnet (easiest part of my car) 3 times. gonna use this technique!
I was doing this work when the vinyl first came out. It didn't shrink though. Once heated, it was stretched. You youngins' are having some fun. & if two glue sides touched the piece was done! Unless it was cool out, you could never lay on dry, bubbles would not travel and you'd be popping holes for a week.
So true, I started using vinyl on commercial displays and all your points are spot on- I use a solder rework station (SMD) heat gun, it gives pencil tip control and remove the bubbles by heating IN PLACE. Many of the materials I'm wrapping, like MDF, are air permeable and the bubbles actually escape through/into the substrate, unlike cars. But heating in place limits stretch and the SMD rework gun is absolutely an excellent tool - about $70, cheaper than a commercial heat gun.
Very useful videos. Thank you for sharing. I have a quick question - I have few scratches on my front bumper. Should I just clean it then wrap it? How should I smoothen the surface?
Very impressive stuff but I wouldn’t recommend his second demonstration. Where he pulls the vinyl back and cuts the backing. There’s adhesive and there’s dust everywhere that can get onto the adhesive. I know he’s in a Well ventilated area but for reg people like us, keep vinyl backing facing the car and pull from under
This is fascinating to see you in action. Is this material different than clear ppf? The reason I ask is because you apply this dry vs using a soapy water solution and alcohol/water stick solution.
glass is simple to do show us more complex bumpers with deep recess. I took your Commercial Wrap Class in PA was very unhappy 1 instructor 17 people 3 days waste of money learned more from Wrap Institute videos. Now having to take a 2 week course for almost same price you charged me
Trying to do it myself on a bmw z3 I ruined the decklid and did ok on front panels can you give me some insight on technique for by yourself job, it’s really hard with on person
Glass glass glass glass......... I'm gonna create glass! My glass is great! Look at my glass! Glass is class! Pull hard, and create your glass! After the first two minutes, my mind was visualizing a piano falling on this dude! I tried to fight it, but it just got stronger...... I started to hear smashing piano sounds, with a few cries for help mixed in there............ "Super Cool!!!!
How would you tackle a bumper with the glass game as a solo installer? I can tell you that bumpers are definitely a nightmare for me and I never look forward to them.
Basically you do a quarter at a time. Cut the backing off the half of the bumper and use magnets to hold the other side with you pull and stretch each section.
Thanks for your confidence in me, however I want to keep the professionals like you employed (this is what you do). I would feel honored to have you give me a quote. Then I will worry about getting the tin shipped to you and will gladly wait to get it back. You can do videos with it when you do it if you want. I have watched videos of people struggling to do it and I want a professional to do it. If I can't have you do it, I will probably just buy the bike in a color I can live with instead of a color I want. Also how good are these wrap plastics when they accidentally get fuel from the tank on them?? Also can these wraps be layered to get the teardrop shape in most Harley two tone paint schemes put on each side of the tank in a contrasting color? Can these plastics be pin striped?
thank you! You probably saved me 20 hours of failure and $100's in material cost by watching 1 hour of videos. subscribed!
Sir!... wow! Just wow! I can't believe this video is actually free. Thanks a lot man!! I did my friends car in 6 hrs but it was my very first time.
You rock! Thanks again
You are a natural teacher. Thanks!
Thank you. I absolutely love watching people wrap cars. In want to get My hands in there so bad. I have all the tools ordered and am waiting on my first roll of material.
gunnerm1 what material do you need to start, I’m super interested
How did it go? Did you make glass or a pile of screwed up vinyl and a head ache ?
Take their avery dennison class. If you choose the right one he may even be teaching the class himself. But the other instructors are fantastic as well. Its pricey but you become a certified avery denison installer and that's very valuable to wrap shops.
The commentary was simply amazing
Incredible display of expertise and knowledge, this guy communicates it well and people like him who are an expert in their field and can teach something so well are hard to find.

Take a shot every time he says glass
7:52 in
=and i'm wasted...
done...
im in coma
now i have booze poisoning haha
Glass or create glass?
I wanna see this Guy make a video Where he Lets someone wrap a car that never did it before and then give tips on the way.
Came here to learn how to wrap, ended up learning how to make glass. Life is crazy
I see what you did there!
All about those glass man
Thanks to you I now have a better understanding of the pull method.
Thank you, I think this video prepared me really great for my first practice. I tend to be careful but now I know how hard I can pull and in what direction.
That's the issue I have is not pulling enough because I do not want to damage the film
OK, enough of the glass, show me how you cut into all of the curves of the front spoiler...
I'm with you my thought was to get the inserts and grill area should you be pulling or heating 👍
ikr
so did you know how to do that ?
hahah they never show the hard parts.. every video is showing how to do the hood. hahahahahha
CK Wraps regularly produces videos doing curves & recesses
i was gonna paint my car till i found this , i thought at first vinyl wrap was same as window tent , no this guy make me wanna get out and do my own wrap. cool teacher , thanks very much ,
Very good video educational and well done please keep going with grill inserts and the finish.. thank you 👍
I feel like this is just like me putting plastic wrap on leftovers... gotta be perfectly smooth on top. LOL
Jim will know how hard to pull by pure instinct. It's all about feel and experience - just like anything.

"Wrappings cars is kind of like going to the gym". That's a legendary quote
I just love watching this stuff he is a great teacher tho.
been waiting to cut this nice and smooth without mentioning any cutting tape
Amazing video skills and presentation. Subscribed!
“Pull it like a man...or a woman” 😂😂 thank you for the content! New installer here, this is going to change my world!

We’re you ever able to finish wrapping the hood
I was doing this work when the vinyl first came out. It didn't shrink though. Once heated, it was stretched. You youngins' are having some fun. & if two glue sides touched the piece was done!

Thank you from Egypt
Having a heated show helps. I've had vinyl tear on my when it's 40f degrees outside.
The vinyl manufacturer should have told you youbdont wrap in 40degrees. Im not pro and even i know that
@@GetKinetic1one I don’t have that benefit.
Very useful videos. Thank you for sharing. I have a quick question - I have few scratches on my front bumper. Should I just clean it then wrap it? How should I smoothen the surface?
All depends i think, how deep/wide of scratches are we talking about? is it a painted bumper or just a grey/black plastic bumper?
Insane in the glass game.
Great demo sir!
Nice work man
Helpfully video still thank you so much
Excellent video!
Hahahah this guy LOVES to tell everyone he went ti Japan
Very impressive stuff but I wouldn’t recommend his second demonstration. Where he pulls the vinyl back and cuts the backing. There’s adhesive and there’s dust everywhere that can get onto the adhesive. I know he’s in a Well ventilated area but for reg people like us, keep vinyl backing facing the car and pull from under
19:07 clutch save
Lool
is this before rectangle? because i just watched that one and i as well would to see the finishing included with cuttings and finished product
AMAZING 👌👌
I can’t wrap
To save my
Life I have to use a lot of little
Pieces utterly
Impressive how they do this
tried this with some cheap wrap i had and it just rips when you pull it is there a way to make cheap wrap last a long time like a year at least
Fascinating to watch
yo yo way to go Jim !
how to you play the stretch game if it has a pattern? it will all go wonky....
... when your helper isn't listing
Great Video! Follow Paint is Dead to see other great car wrap videos!
Great video
great help. does carbon fiber 3m 1080 work the same way or is it harder to work with? thanks again.
Same way. I wrapped my hood and mirrors with it a few years back.
i dont have a car... but i spend 2 hours watching wrapping videos... omg...
This guy sounds EXACTLY like the Call of Duty TH-camr "Hutch". Unreal
This is fascinating to see you in action. Is this material different than clear ppf? The reason I ask is because you apply this dry vs using a soapy water solution and alcohol/water stick solution.
does pulling make the material uneven ? ie, parts that gets pulled is thinner than others , also does it cause the wrap to age unevenly ? thanks
Hey Boss what brand of material is better for beginners to use like there any difference in the brands of the quality ??
Damn it jim
You need to watch multiple videos to see those little details that are left out as a beginner
Nice wrapped around
glass is simple to do show us more complex bumpers with deep recess. I took your Commercial Wrap Class in PA was very unhappy 1 instructor 17 people 3 days waste of money learned more from Wrap Institute videos. Now having to take a 2 week course for almost same price you charged me
holy shit this guy is unbelieveable
Question: Is there a search engine to find qualified installers? Help?
This guy’s house must be made of glass lol Great vid
Trying to do it myself on a bmw z3 I ruined the decklid and did ok on front panels can you give me some insight on technique for by yourself job, it’s really hard with on person
Really cool
Super cool
Thanks
How many tonnes of glass do you produce a day?
kiss is going to give it a kiss of heat...
When you stretch the material that much aren't you thinning the material and have a higher chance of it to rip/tear?
10% he said. But be within tolerance...
I wonder how long it would take him to wrap the alarm clock on his wrist?
can you guys show how to do tailights with curvature
It's one thing to glass a front bumper...another thing to trim it.
What color is the green vinyl called?
What color is that? Where can I buy?
Definitely “COOL”
What kind of material would you prefer to drink beer out of?
Liked this video cause there was no ads
So I was using the amount of tension you were using, the problem I saw was a lot of air bubbles, like everywhere
What brand material is he using?
Pulls my vvivid+ yesterday on fender... tears 🤣
Every time he says glass take a shot ...
Glass glass glass glass......... I'm gonna create glass! My glass is great! Look at my glass! Glass is class! Pull hard, and create your glass!

I will glass game on my bmw e92, has some huge pannels, huge doors and hood
Im pretty sure that this is a no but.
Will wrap last if you wrap over a rusted spot? Result?
So when you do carbon fibre, will it distort the pattern by pulling that hard .Allso what’s the best out there as in the make
Heat will distort
How would you tackle a bumper with the glass game as a solo installer? I can tell you that bumpers are definitely a nightmare for me and I never look forward to them.
Philipe Jose exactly! For about a week my cars will be wrapped except the bumpers.. pain in the ass to do.
Basically you do a quarter at a time. Cut the backing off the half of the bumper and use magnets to hold the other side with you pull and stretch each section.
I fired Jimmy 😂😂
Nice video👍👍
Would a 5×55 foot roll cover one car and allow mistakes for a beginner
GLASSSSSSSS
that g shock is fugly, but this dude is the zen master of wrap.
Me puedes decir el nombre del vinil que marca es gracias buen video
Try doing that with the metallic chrome colors
can you put wraps on other vehicles like a scooter that does not have a smooth surface?
Anything with a smooth surface. Flat has nothing to do with it.
Now this is Glass...
how much would you charge to wrap the tank and the front and rear fender of a 2019 Harley Davidson Heritage
Thanks for your confidence in me, however I want to keep the professionals like you employed (this is what you do). I would feel honored to have you give me a quote. Then I will worry about getting the tin shipped to you and will gladly wait to get it back. You can do videos with it when you do it if you want. I have watched videos of people struggling to do it and I want a professional to do it. If I can't have you do it, I will probably just buy the bike in a color I can live with instead of a color I want. Also how good are these wrap plastics when they accidentally get fuel from the tank on them?? Also can these wraps be layered to get the teardrop shape in most Harley two tone paint schemes put on each side of the tank in a contrasting color? Can these plastics be pin striped?
How do you wrap an off road bumper with bullbars?
very carefully
❤❤❤❤❤❤
What brand of film is that
I want a brother like Jim
Roberto Avila my dads bald
Exelent thanks
good!!
👍 👍👍
