    Experienced Vinyl Wrapper here. You did a spot-on job! The knifeless trick (to cut material in order to tuck into corners) is used among pros and newbies alike; mostly newbies rather than pros since pros take the material-expenditure cost more into consideration from an operational perspective; but it is an all around solid method to ensure that no paint is nicked. You may already possibly know by now, but research on how to perform inlays. It is a really useful technique that allows to make sense of more complicated objects and shapes. Hell, I've seen bumpers that look like they can be done in 1-piece but in reality, it's all inlay galore! (I'm looking at you 2012 Nissan Versa). all in all, to all those watching this, keep at it. You will frustrate yourself at first but that means you're putting yourself out there and putting in the work. Keep going!

    @@Lifehackz137 with certain films you will be able to tell the difference in different lighting… like with a silver or grey, it will look off a shade or two but it’s because how the films are produced and how the light reflex them. Hard to explain without seeing it in person…. Most wrap vinyls have arrows on the backer paper so you make sure you’re applying the same orientation. Doesn’t matter if arrow is pointing up down left or right, just as long as it’s the same on every panel you apply.

Hopefully, I'll be able to catch up with you, Jason Darrah, and the other adventures you all have been seen traveling with. I live in Baker City and have done a fair amount of exploring in the area, some short videos,. The goal is to start filming/producing this spring with full-length shows. I also have plans for several other Adventure Travel/Overlanding adventures. Hope to see you out there someday, can't miss my big ole Excursion. Several new upgrades since those older videos on my channel. if you guys are ever planning to come up this way give me a shout, lets plan a trip! We have some INCREDIBLE mountain ranges, old Gold Mines, and High desert stuff to explore. I'm back in the studio now and will be cranking out some videos from the area with footage I've been sitting on TOO long!
