    Hey Kevin I've actually done both vinyl and carbon fiber and I've learned that the key to making it actually look like a creaseless seamless paint job is to do it in sections top half from the trunk to the hood then the front and rear bumpers would be done separately and then the sides would be done separately and my experience I had good results every time no creases and the heat gun made it look great after a while I began combining that process with the hydro dip mixing paint jobs with vinyls and paint jobs with carbon fiber

  • @williammorris5846

    great first go, you didn't fail.. you just found one way of not doing it :) .. it is totally possible to wrap that in one go.. as others have said.. definitely need high quality wrap, and more practice.. watch vids of the pros wrapping car mirrors.. pre-stretch, then form.. , and as others said.. you can also try hydro dipping, very doable in a home shop.. also with some practice and watching some vids to get the general idea :)

    If you were going to be putting a different colour on the windows and bed then I'd say it could be done. First work out where the panels join on the real car and that's where you have your edges. Secondly do the back (starting right behind the cab) and work your way back, you're going to have to make some cuts on the corners, so have the edges end up where the tailgate sides are. The front is just about the same but you're starting on the back of the cab and working forward. If you are putting on the decals after then you can use them to cover the joins. Don't forget that when they wrap a real car they make lots of cuts, thy just know how to hide them.

    Can do in one peice with quality film. They do alot of complex stuff. Quality film can stretch so much if it's what your after def worth the few extra bucks for good vinyl. I do wrap and custom paint. Honestly just paint it with the same hobby paint. Just paint the outside then use a premium plastic clear coat. Shouldn't flake off but worth a shot. And if scratch up the clear coat hit with sand paper n shoot more clear.... just idea

  • @williamquick6153
