You did an amazing job Sandro! But I am just wondering: at this point wouldn’t it be cheaper, easier, less work and overall better to just paint it? Not hating just genuinely curious

Yes, it would. If they’re willing to pay for it then it’s just up to installer’s decision.

My opinion will be biased but I'll try to be as fair as I can. Paint has a place, which in my experience is good for repairs or restoring older vehicles. Would you paint a brand new vehicle? Painting a new vehicle (properly) will cost substantially more than a wrap. It is also irreversible. Meaning most buyers will assume the vehicle has been in a collision, which dramatically reduces resale value. Especially when going with a color that's different from factory. Wrapping a car. We wrap the car as long as the paint is in good condition. The duration of the wrap will help maintain the original factory paint by preventing UV fade, stone chips and scratches, which the aftermarket paint job will still get. I have friends and colleagues who've spent over $100k to paint a car, only to get stone chips, swirl marks and UV fade. If the wrap fades it's a simple and quick replacement most of the time. It doesn't take days or weeks to complete and no color blending in necessary. I can paint a car for $80, $8,000, $18,000 or $80,000. You get what you pay for. The average cost of a wrap is $3,000-$4,000. I hope this clears things up.

@@CKWraps thanks for the detailed explanation, had not seen that point of view but it really makes sense. Also don’t know how « Christian » got auto corrected to Sandro in my original comment but hey 🤣

Been watching your videos for at least 3-4 years now for fun and I actually plan on wrapping my own car soon and I feel pretty confident going into this job. Much thanks to you for giving the best how to/guide on KZread to this date! Much more success I know will come your way 🙏🏼❤

I was in the same boat. Recently wrapped my wife's Scion XB in Vvivid Miami teal and satin black. Today we won 'best of the 2000s +' at a local carshow against Aston Martins, Shelby Mustangs, and some high end Corvettes. Take your time, and work through the tough parts, the results can be amazing.

Friday maybe I may be gettin my first job as a wrapper after watching hours and hours of your amazing thanks brother! Also awesome community fr 💯

Just wow! Awesome job!

Fantastic job, dude!

jeez bro, love the thought you saying "yeah i can do that". respect

Great job, Christian.

Hey Bud hope all is well with you, havent seen you upload much lately, going through some tough times myself, hope to see you back eventually!

Amazing work!! ❤

Quick question I’m trynna wrap my Mustang nd I’m trynna see which is a good type of wrap, I see you use vvivid will tht be a good choice for me as well or no!!

Good morning ck. Just wanted to know your thoughts on zookaa vinyl. Are they reputable or should I stay away. I’ve been trying to find reviews but don’t seem to find anyway. Your help is greatly appreciated

Looks killer! Does anyone know if there's a wrap colour like 3m black rose but a bit more red tinted? Cheers

Im curious.. for fiberglass cars, like older C3 Corvettes for instance, you can't use magnets to hold the wrap down. Should I use painters tape or some other way to hold the wrap in place while cutting to shape/laying it? Trying to teach myself how to do all this and soaking up as much information that I can. Thanks in advance!

Is there any need to use an adhesive promoter along the edges of the deeper recesses to prevent the film from lifting back up, especially when subjected to repeated rounds of under-hood heating/cooling cycles?

@CKWraps

Adhesive promoter is for beginners. It also isn't necessary for beginners if you know how to wrap.

Serious Inquiry @CK Wraps. Why did you do them small parts & cut out the Manufacturer Indications to then go over them with a Solid Piece of vinyl? I'm assuming there's a benefit but curious.

@TubinHard00

I'm curious as well. I'm thinking it subtracts some of the depth which makes it look smoother? Not sure

Is this something that is normally done? How well does the vinyl last to the engine heat? And if we combo sunny days?

@avguylyfe5837

8 ай бұрын

No it's not. Door jams etc under hoods or trunks aren't usually not done mainly becuase it cost more plus people don't really look into those areas. For show cars or highly meticulous would want it done. And in thus video he noted there's no engine here. But from my experience wraps aren't warranty if it's been re sprayed or bad paint. Also if it's done in the engine bay there's no warranty on it as well.

What brand and is it piano black?

Is there somewhere we can put in video requests? I have a Jeep wrangler and im attempting to wrap my grill inserts but having a hell of a time and cant find a video anywhere for them or anything close enough to them and im really struggling with this for some reason. Ive tried a thousand different ways but the inside corners continue to tear on me and id really like a seamless look. If you could do a vid on that wpould be soooo amazing. Idk if its the type of vinyl im using which is VVivid’s Satin Chrome Magenta. ANY recommendations, suggestions, tips would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

Same way a heat gun would act when going up against wrap.

I wrapped my car the other day, I cut the wrap in squares of about 6 inches and put it on piece by piece, each piece slightly overlapping the other😁

Why do you put down the smaller parts before the actual wrap?
