ScorpionSX Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Looks very nice, you chose very nice colour Technical question though...how do you actually finish one panel when you cut the tint already at some point? Like on the front bumper, you have the middle part still in black, but on the sides there is already tint, and they're not two separate panels...how do you put the tint together to look consistent?

Like on the front bumper, you have the middle part still in black, but on the sides there is already tint, and they're not two separate panels...how do you put the tint together to look consistent? I use a tool called CutTape/Knifeless Tape. Basically you outline an area or design you wish to keep unwrapped and when you are finished doing the wrap, pull the knife tap which cuts the vinyl in the desired shape. Not a great explanation but I'm sure if you YouTube Knifeless Tape it'll show better how it works.Sent from my HTC 10 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScorpionSX Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Oh, perhaps I didn't explain exactly what I meant. Let's talk about the front bumper for example. What I was asking about is, now that you have your bumper covered in tint on it's sides, if you want to continue wrapping it in the middle, how do you do it to look like it's one piece of tint? Just line the two tints together really close...? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kpg Posted April 21, 2017 Author Share Posted April 21, 2017 Damn that came out great! Good job bro! Did you have some help? I did all myself apart from one wing and one rear quarter. Got my mate to stay after work and give me a hand. Easier than it looks. First one I've done mostly myself. More time consuming than anything else.

kpg Posted May 13, 2017 Author Share Posted May 13, 2017 Folks you may have noticed that I've been relatively quiet on here for a while. The reason being, my wife and I have bought our first house together. We are finally getting settled and all is well so I won't bore you all with the details. But we are extremely happy. Things with the car are sorta on hold at the minute. A few things need tidied up with the wrap, few sections creeping back at the edges, nothing serious. I've made a deal with a guy I do work for to get my alloys done panther black in exchange for a few bits of his car wrapped so that's coming up. Just aiming to get the car half show ready for the Causeway Coast Ford Fair in June/July.**House Update** I printed some wallpaper at work for the mancave:Well chuffed. Just need some shelves and stuff to display the Lego collection ! 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
