jeebowhite Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Vinyl Wrap! Some bits came out spotless, almost factory in appearance, and others, well... they sucked lol... I suspect I didnt use enough heat, but I got so many creases its embarassing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezwez Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 I wouldn't try it I would make a right mess two left hands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted April 1, 2016 Author Share Posted April 1, 2016 I really want it, primarily to cover up a mess I made earlier lol, but it looks really good on the bits that are decent.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 I've never been able to wrap stuff either, slightest curve and it seems to crease! Even pro car wrappers don't get it perfect though! Also be careful if you're doing it inside, mate of mine used cheap vinyl on his dash plastics. Came back on a sunny day to find it had all fallen off! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crease city, each time there's a curve however slight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preecematt Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 I wrapped the roof on my last car, burnt my fingers lol. Went on perfect but got 1 crease around the aerial. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted April 2, 2016 Author Share Posted April 2, 2016 I got more than creases lol I need to redo a lot of it with a heat gun or a hairdryer.... I did most of it with a lighter lol Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preecematt Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 No the crease was the good bit, the ends of my fingers on the other hand(on both hands actually) got lots of comments on it when it went round town, shame the rest of the car was naff lol. This car will be getting treated to the same thing soon, depending on what I feel like doing to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeebowhite Posted April 5, 2016 Author Share Posted April 5, 2016 It looks better than it did before I started. Ended up hacking the USB corner piece to a mess and had to rebuild it lol It's growing on me now. I might try it again later Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
