Rvinyl door pillar wraps

Rvinyl.com sent me these door pillar wraps that didn’t fit. They were not cut to spec where it would cover the paint along door pillars. After reaching out to them, they said that the vinyl was not suppose to cover all the way from corner to corner to hide the color paint. I think that’s bullshit. I paid $40 for them but they are only willing to refund 50%. Anyone have any experience with them?

Advice for wrapping

Heey,

I'm looking for advice on how to wrap this (very ugly old metal) part of my motorcycle.

Which parts should I do first taking the seams in consideration. And is the triangle part doable in 1 part, or should I try it in multiple pieces?

I did some try out pieces and struggled a lot with the stretching into the inner corners, especially with having enough material left since the inner sides are pretty deep.

If you've got some tips, please help me out!😁

Has anyone found a source online for a oak green neo metallic wrap material?

We've been trying to source online since all the 3m swatches he had in stock didn't work.

I just need a good match!

Any ideas people have used?

I am having the worst time on this removal. It took about an hour to remove what you see in the image. Even with a heat gun the vinyl still only comes off in quarter size pieces and I am very wary of using an eraser wheel.

I've done a ton of removals over the years and have always been able to figure out how to get around issues like this. For some reason everything I try on this one just doesn't help.

Any tips or ideas?

Hi all noob here trying to chrome wrap this mask and breastplate in one smooth piece. Now I know I’m a noob and chrome is tough but is this even doable? As you can see from the breastplate I tried to chrome it already with spaz stix but I could not achieve that shiny chrome finish, just the matte you see there. Anyway i am planning on cutting the eyes open and mouth and nose holes if that perhaps matters.

So this was my hail Mary and it’s not looking great. I’m at the end of my rope with this project and it’s due Friday so I’m willing to pay someone to do this for me tomorrow. Must be in NYC. I got a quote to hydro chrome it for 1k which is a bit much tbh since i saw some self hydro chroming systems for 250 but it’s too late for that... Anyway any tips to save this also appreciated, be specific. I used the VViVID wrap. You think you can do it? Dm me. Thanks everyone!

Can this roof be wrapped?

I have a roof with 2 faded spots about 3-4 inches in diameter. The paint on the rest of the car is great. Would a shop be able to wrap the roof. 2007 Honda odyssey. Thank you.

I’m looking to get the window pillars on my Civic wrapped to look glossy instead of matte. I’ve been using adhesives but they don’t last much with the Miami heat.

Is this a decent price? I live in Miami Florida for context.
Also, is the ppf worth it?

Hello! Relatively new DIY’er. Wanting to hide the blistering paint on my T4 EuroVan roof with 3M 2080 Gloss Black. Roof is 56”x10’ actual but I would like it to cover the outside corners as well which adds 2+” on each side.

QUESTION: Should I look for 72” wide vinyl or would it be practical to use 60” on main roof and 6” strips on corners?

Context it was wrapped brand new basically and during wrap removal there was a small paint peel. I just want confirmation it’s not bare metal, all the body shops are closed today

I had my Cyber Truck wrapped in Evolv's Satin Black PPF a little less than a year ago and noticed brown raised spots this year in the wrap.The spots are on almost every panel except the hood. It's never been taken through a car wash, only hand-washed. Wondering what your guy's thoughts are on this, whether it's a manufacturer defect of the wrap or???
