Can you explain how this process works? But it looks sweet! Are they just basically gluing vinyl over your roof? I've never heard of it, but I like it.

Car wrapping has been around for years, google it for more info, but yes basically they use self-adhesive vinyl.

vinyl wrap = STICKERS....vinyl wrap is a cheaper way of decorating ur car instead of paiting it. however some vinyl could get expenssive depending on what design u have in mind and it also protects ur car paint from weather.

looks good man. Decided against the orange huh? How much would that have cost if you didnt get a discount?

 

[PGTBrow]

Thats a good idea for the black roof look...

 

[Domii3925]

Really like the matte black roof.... Hmmmm! I might have to look into it =P

looking closely on the pic that looks like a DI NOC vinyl( 3m carbon fiber wrap) am i right?

 

[Mazdamatic]

thats me wrapping lol im learning, im mainly the graphic designer there but were wrapping my car for "advertisement'. idk how much its costing me cuz im taking it out of my paycheck. but ill tell you the roof matteblack cost 85 bux. to get what im getting (and youll see the finished pix soon) its around 1000. for a full wrap (not partial like mine) its around 1500. and yes its 3M auto vinyl. a b**** to work with and make sure there are NOOOOOOOOOOOO bubbles lol.

u are using a heat gun while applyng the vinyl right?

 

[Rijstraket]

Looks good already! I'm curious about how it will look when you're done

Wrapping carbon vinyl can be a real pain in the ass, i know because i wrapped my hood with it

Wait, your boss wants you to wrap your own car, so you can give your work free advertising, but they're making you pay for it?

My thoughts exactly

im not paying. its free lol sorry for no update pics ive been traveling around having to install stuff for work. ill get pix at coffee and cars in the morning =]

to get out wrinkles/pesky bubbles (worse than normal bubbles) and around edges. the hood really need the heat to stretch it right.

Oh, you said it was coming out of your checks....sorry

 

[DrWebster]

Why do you need a heat gun to remove bubbles? I thought the vinyl was installed "wet" (like the 3M clear shield stuff) so you could smooth out any bubbles?

 

[genericmoniker]

Different installers use different methods. Dry install is faster, but when you're stretching vinyl it NEEDS to be a dry application.

Wet installs are normally used for precut things.
