Ok I wasn't really sure what you were asking. It was my first time with anything of this size but we used soapy water and squeegees to push the water and air bubbles out. We used a heat gun on the edges and in the curves. It is a b1tch to do though we laid the whole thing down then started working the bubbles out, if I were to do it again i would lay one side down and work the air out then once all of the air is out lay down some more. We found once the whole thing was down it was hard to work bubbles from the middle out. I also took a pin after and popped a few bubbles and pushed the air/water out.

 

Sylvan, how long will this vinyl wrap hold in the winter time? I don't know anything bout vinyls so I'm just curious to see how long it would last in the snow before you'd have to re-do it again.

 

I have no idea, my car has never been winter driven so i never even looked into how it would hold up I drive my 2010 Titan in the winter and the car stayed in a heated garage. I kind of wonder how it would hold up in -25F you don't really see many vinyl wrapped vehicles up here although lots of people run the clear bras in the winter with no issues I am not sure if they would be the same?

 

ight thx a lot sylvan

 

recently posted in the aggressive/stretched thread. great example of a well done overall theme.

 

that looks horrible

 

I like that alot he nailed what I was going for, I like how his camo pattern is large looks great IMO.

 

the lexus is nice cause the vinyl color matches the wheels and brakes , i think the only thing thats making your vinyl a little out of place is the color, cause it looks like their's a bit of green in it which i don't think it's flowing nice with color combo your going with but IMO its still not bad looking props for trying it

 

In person mine dosen't look green the local guys all said the same till they seen it in person they then thought it looked much better(although not all of them liked it anyway) I kind of think the color of the car makes it look green because looking at the roll of viynal it looked black and a couple shades of grey that is why I went with that color it certainly photographs green in all of the pictures I have seen or taken.

Anyway I thought I would try it but that IS upstaged me BIG TIME

 

i'm pretty sure it will look nicer if you make the patterns larger like the lexus.

 

I agree mine looks like a mess on the hood his looks like a camo pattern. I just did a search and I found another picture of the Lexus on Import Atlanta where he has the TEs painted Takada green it still looks sweet.


I am too lazy to save it and upload to photobucket so here is a link to the page it is on.
