Can you do mine now? =]

 

JDMHighEnd- They say it will stay on for about 8-10 years without damaging your paint.

HenryLee- hell yeah! im trying to do as many as i can!

If anyone else in the Northern California area needs there roofs, hoods, trunks, or even full cars wrapped PM me =)

 

looks dope!! Where you from?

 

Thanks, I'm from Chico! Gotta pad in Santa Clara so im there quite a bit.

 

Hey man, ur matte black vinyl wrapped G looks awesome. I'm pretty interested in doin the same. How do u take care of ur car when its wrapped, as far as washing it? Can u take it trough a drive through wash? Also how much would u charge to wrap? I'm thinking about just doing my hood, roof and trunk. Would u charge by the panel? And also, how does wrapping it affect the paint on the car? Mine is an 03 stock (as far as the body goes) black G-Coupe. All ur info and help is appreciated!

Thanks again,
Brandon

 

Thanks! I just hand wash it. I dont think you can go thru a drive thru wash with rollers but you can do the touchless ones. PM me and we can work something out if you want to get yours wrapped. Where are you located? As far as your stock paint, it should be ok for 8-10 years, or so they say lol. lemme know if you have any more questions.

Nice job with the wrap. Matte Black has been overdone on most cars though. For those wanting to wrap their cars, please make sure to pay attention to the type of vinyl you get. Some is only made for interior use. Oracal is good quality stuff but the life expectancy will vary depending on weather conditions.

Make sure to use a heat gun too when removing any vinyl. This will help soften the adhesive and will prevent residue from staying on your paint.

 

That actually turned out really good! Iv'e seen some other painted flat black G's and they didn't turn out anything close to this. Props for doing it yourself too!!

 

Looks real good!.. Considering doing this to mine lol.

 

wow great job. looks very clean

 

Props for DIY. I wouldnt have the paitence for this kind of work.

 

Do you have any tips for the first-timer? I'll be wrapping my sedan roof in gloss black and I've never worked with vinyl before.

I do have all the necessary tools that you mentioned, just some advice on technique would be appreciated. I've watched vids on youtube and it seems they always start on one end, and tape down in the middle? How wet do I need to keep the vinyl and the roof as I apply?

 

Looks pretty nice. How much time it take ?

 

looks great man !

 

I see you bought 50 yards of material but about how much did you actually use? Also,do you think the adhesive is good enough on the edges to hold down the vinyl or would extra adhesive be a good idea? Looks good!
