I have wrapped my own car in Avery Magnetic Burst (gloss metallic). It was the first wrap I ever did and it turned out great! I only got lifting afterwards on the first panel I did. The rest stayed looking great. That one lifting edge was to blame on me tough, not on the film. I still had to get a feel for wrapping. Afterwards I had many people asking me if I had my car repainted and "That's a great colour". It kind of had them silent for a bit when I told them it's wrap and that I did it myself. I watched a lot of your videos as training and I think that greatly helped me getting the result that I got. I want to thank you for the helpful videos and I wish you a great Christmas!
im honestly impressed with vvivid. it doesnt have the smoothest finish when you look up close but it takes a lot of abuse if you mess up just lift and try again. you will end up with dust by doing that but at least you dont have to scrap a piece
Thank you for all the info. I don't wrap but find these videos fascinating. Your delivery is so well done. Watching anyone who is great in their field is always great.
Props to all the pro vinyl wrappers out there. I practiced wrapping my Lexus emblem 4 times with Avery Black Chrome Conform and failed 4 times and gave up lol.
I’ve done a few wraps on bikes and the first and best wrap I did was a carbon fiber Avery and it came out flawless, and never lifted. Had it on for about a year and decided to buy one of those Chinese rolls of 4d carbon fiber, didn’t look as good as the 2d Avery and it had all sorts of issues, started lifting and cracking after a week or two.
Bought a roll of Avery SW900, can't say I'm happy with it. After application, any decent pressure on the surface will cause the air channel grid pattern to come through. I wrapped an airplane wing skin, no stretch in the vinyl, and set a 5lb counterweight on one end of the wing for riveting. I found later that the shape of the weight is now a seemingly permanent feature embedded in the wrap surface. The pattern also appears when applying heat to rub out any air bubbles. The air channel idea is great on paper, but not in reality.
Christian, thank you for explaining the millage of vinyl. The backing is also measured in mills. The adhesive is also. Adhesive ( the coating weight ) is measured in mills too.
Please, do a video on wrapping a guitar body (preferably a P bass, removable neck type, 4 screw bolt up). I don't think it would take much wrap for you. Maybe a friend with a bass that's wanting something to look different/new ? Perhaps offcuts from a car job ? I've been wrapping pickguards, access covers & the like. I figured if I'm using car paints for the body why not wrap it (I don't buy into the changing the tonal qualities bullshit). And here's the but, I am totally unsure how to do the horns on a typical shape, and how to seamlessly join the front & the back. There are guitar skins companies. But they are quite expensive, & I find their online tutorials quite confusing. Cheers Shaun.
A mil and a micron are not the same. You are correct that a "mil' is a thousandth of an inch. Unfortunately, many people these days use "mil" as short for millimetre (especially bicycle enthusiasts) so the short-form "mil" has become ambiguous. A micron is a millionth of a meter.
Hi Christian, thanks for this info. I'm going to start wrapping soon and trying some stuff out. I want to do motorcycle mainly. I hope seeing this avery is the best to start with🤓
Hi CK, any chance you can get your hands on some 'RG Vinyl', and give your honest opinion. We have the brand here in England. Its not very well known, but it looks like a good quality vinyl. It would be cool to see you have a play around with some and see how it compares to the big names.
Decided to wrap my 80’s Corolla by myself, it’s a square body car and figured an easier start. Would you recommend this for the entire project? What’s calandered?
Love your wrap videos. Thinking I’ll actually try and wrap a set of rims for my car. But how well does vi to wrap do winter time will it shrink and fall off???
My installer thought that sw900 would be a good choice for an off-road application. Smdh didn’t even last 3 years. Pretty sad I could have chosen a thicker vinyl had I been informed.
Thanks for the info and we wait a video explaining colours and textures like satin white, what are other terms to choose the material texture and the colour. Thanks.
for first time wrap VVIVID all the way. they even sent me 50m of knifeless instead of the 10 I ordered. is it because they knew i would need more than 10? and they give u 20% discount for leaving a review with a picture.. theyre the best
I need to find a vinyl that is extremely sticky! Or at least much stickier than VVivid....I bought the Vvivid vinyl with 1 inch width from Amazon and to use it by placing strips of it on my wheels. I put it on, used a heat gun since the outside air temp was about 5o degrees and went inside. Come out an hour later and some of the strips were just hanging there and flopping in the wind! WTF? Even after using a heat gun! How frustrating this is! And yes I cleaned them with soapy water, dried them and then used alcohol to make sure they were ready for vinyl.....
Avery was the only one that had the color I wanted, but I need it to be durable, could I put paint protection film over it? Edit: I already have the vinyl
Hey CK wraps, i dont know if you would be able to wrap a bicycle helmets. Bicycle helmets have lots of hole, edges, curves etc. Can it be wrap or no way anyone could wrap it.
Whats the brand of this wrap and where can i order it? Avery Dennison? I am currently wrapping a conversion van RV with vvivid gloss white i got off of amazon. Next I am going to wrap my 2014 tacoma trd sport overland build with lime green, black, grey and brown army green camo. My truck is super white color. So I was going cut out the camo patterns on the wrap. So it will be white, lime green, army green, dark grey and dark brown for the colors. Should i get gloss, matte or flat? The truck is super white gloss.
I'm thinking about doing wraps. Would you reccomend cheetah wrap as a beginner wrap ? I just wanna wrap my hood first then when I get more comfortable cutting and etc start working with 3m and avery. Thank you in advance!
what do you think about teckwrap? I want to use their “Pink Sakura” candy metallic wrap on my Hummer H3. I’ve never wrapped before but i’ve been doing my research and think I could do it. But I don’t know how user friendly that might be.
Avery is the vinyl wrap for children. It's terribly easy to use in almost all applications. I've never once in my life had issues with it sticking properly.
assallammualaikum brother, brothers and sisters I want to ask why in the last stage of wrapping wrinkles occur in the folds, how to fold properly, please tutorial

Albert Einstein once said "If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough". You sure know what you're talking about. 👍
He's definitely a bad son of a gun!
Einstein's quote was if you can't explain it to a 6-year-old then you don't understand it yourself
im honestly impressed with vvivid. it doesnt have the smoothest finish when you look up close but it takes a lot of abuse if you mess up just lift and try again. you will end up with dust by doing that but at least you dont have to scrap a piece
Hey wrapping starts at 10:22 for all the advance people beginners are advised to watch the video in it's entirety ☺️
Not even 1/3 the video and I've collected so much useful information. Awesome keep up the good work!
More awesome advice for those of us stepping out into wrapping.
Isn’t it supposed to be stepping “in”? Plz help anyone.Tq.
Best way to do it seeing that they want 2700 to do a full wrapping
Thank you for all the info. I don't wrap but find these videos fascinating. Your delivery is so well done. Watching anyone who is great in their field is always great.
Just did our first wrap on our new Yamaha 25hp outboard! It turned out great!! Thanks for all your videos and tips
Props to all the pro vinyl wrappers out there. I practiced wrapping my Lexus emblem 4 times with Avery Black Chrome Conform and failed 4 times and gave up lol.
Wrapping emblems is tough for anyone.
thats why I just plasti dipped mine lol

Love The Tips! As a Fellow Shop, Keep up the Great Work!

Sounds like you didn't post heat enough. Post heating, among other things, essentially melts the adhesive so you don't have that grid pattern
Nice. Great tips and recommendations. Very much appreciated.
Good info for us newbie hobbyists 👍
I'm interested how the new 3M 2080 vinyl compares
He seems to hate 3m.
Thanks CK,
Im thinking of starting to wrap and watched alot of your vids. and these was one of my questions i still had. :)
Amazing video as always I think Avery Dennison is the best vinyl but also you make this wrapping business look so easy lol
Christian, thank you for explaining the millage of vinyl. The backing is also measured in mills. The adhesive is also. Adhesive ( the coating weight ) is measured in mills too.
Love the videos man, can’t wait to wrap my car when the weather warms up 🤙
Avery all the way, saves me so much time on installs!
I agree, Avery first then other brands.
Awesome video. I use Avery for all my projects and my customers have been very happy with the results and how its holds up.
Please, do a video on wrapping a guitar body (preferably a P bass, removable neck type, 4 screw bolt up). I don't think it would take much wrap for you.

Ok
there is a video by Yiannimize where they wrap an accoustic body
A mil and a micron are not the same. You are correct that a "mil' is a thousandth of an inch. Unfortunately, many people these days use "mil" as short for millimetre (especially bicycle enthusiasts) so the short-form "mil" has become ambiguous. A micron is a millionth of a meter.
Youre an awesome person for teaching people this skill
I can just tell this dude definitely knows what hes talking about
your videos are great! thank you Christian
Hi Christian, thanks for this info. I'm going to start wrapping soon and trying some stuff out. I want to do motorcycle mainly. I hope seeing this avery is the best to start with🤓

We have the brand here in England. Its not very well known, but it looks like a good quality vinyl.
It would be cool to see you have a play around with some and see how it compares to the big names.
Hexis is pretty thick film in the solid colors.
Only worked with Avery, 3m, and vivid. I found Avery to be easier to work worth since it’s super thin
Like the glasses, look fine wearing ‘em👍🏻.
Avery is a pretty good brand for a newbie, w/ minimal “issues”.....
Have a good one Ck✌🏼
Good work and very helpful..I thought you were about to pull the entire mirror
Ive been loving the 3m 2080. Also i feel the same about avery doesn't have the hold that lets you sleep good at night.
Decided to wrap my 80’s Corolla by myself, it’s a square body car and figured an easier start. Would you recommend this for the entire project? What’s calandered?
10:20 he starts the actual wrap process.
you're welcome
Why skip all the useful information though lol
@@Rooster_joe You must talk too much too.
Joe Exotic if you think he is talking too much when he is explaining it in detail is a problem, you’re in the wrong field buddy...
All his info is important but I just wanna see wrap for fun 😊
Thanks
Avery diamond blue FTW
That Avery Diamond just pops. I wrapped a 745 in the Red.
Perfect Job thx for the Info. 5/5
So would Avery Dennison be a good beginner wrap compared to 3M?
Great video thank you👍
Which brand of white vinyl would best cover a black car? Would it be the thickest?
Love your wrap videos. Thinking I’ll actually try and wrap a set of rims for my car. But how well does vi to wrap do winter time will it shrink and fall off???
My installer thought that sw900 would be a good choice for an off-road application. Smdh didn’t even last 3 years. Pretty sad I could have chosen a thicker vinyl had I been informed.
Very informative. Thank you. Would like to try my hands on it when I get enough cash for it.
Video starts at 10:21
Thanks for opening with gloss is easiest
No problem bro
Thanks for the info and we wait a video explaining colours and textures like satin white, what are other terms to choose the material texture and the colour. Thanks.

How much does it cost to do like a caravan 2012 the whole van and how long does it last
How about Averys durability in comparison to other films?
I'm thinking about doing wraps. Would you reccomend cheetah wrap as a beginner wrap ? I just wanna wrap my hood first then when I get more comfortable cutting and etc start working with 3m and avery. Thank you in advance!

Do you prefer avery or 3m when wrapping a primered car? (I'm inexperienced but set on doing this myself)
Can you wrap part of a panel?
10.30 is when the wrap starts

What would you suggest to a newbie in wrapping a motorbike?
Did you ever do it? How did it turn out? I'm gonna wrap mine for the first time soon and I'm nervous lol
what do you think about teckwrap? I want to use their “Pink Sakura” candy metallic wrap on my Hummer H3. I’ve never wrapped before but i’ve been doing my research and think I could do it. But I don’t know how user friendly that might be.

Avery doesn't stick well and is thin and hard to work with I was hoping you were gonna say a thicker one...
Avery is the vinyl wrap for children. It's terribly easy to use in almost all applications. I've never once in my life had issues with it sticking properly.
Where can I buy this wrap?

assallammualaikum brother, brothers and sisters I want to ask why in the last stage of wrapping wrinkles occur in the folds, how to fold properly, please tutorial
Wa alaikum us salaam bro, I think you need to lift and apply more heat to the vinyl and then lay it down again.
The micro beads are snowballing I’d say
Where can I go a learn this and use my GI BILL
Black Pit Viper I thought about doing it for fun and some money on the side I know 3M does actual schools
