For a CF vinyl wrap should I be going into the 3M super 90 for the intense heat here?

Isn't Super 77 a spray adhesive? You should never use that on your car.

Primer 94 is for vehicle wraps but you only need a small amount when doing really concave areas.....there is no need for primer 94 on our cars. At least for my E90 sedan....I didn't use any and my vinyl is staying on fine. I didn't wrap the whole car but the adhesive is enough if the surface is prep'd properly...wash, clay, prep sol, vinyl.

What vinyl are you talking about? Link?

As far as I know, there is only one grade of Di-NOC CF vinyl and it's much thicker than vinyl for vehicle wrapping. And it should hold up fine in Florida heat. Again if you properly prep the surface, nothing should lift....of course there are some tips but until you let us what your doing, I'm not going to provide any.

Shoot me a PM if you have more questions.

So sorry! It's an interior wrap! Should have made that clear, is super 77 bad for interior wraps? Thanks for all your input though!

super 77 is fine.

OK. No I've seen people use it on CF FABRIC, emphasis on fabric. You can even take it off with rubbing alcohol to go back to stock...no damage.

However if you want to use 3M's Di-NOC to wrap your interior trim, then no glue is needed. The vinyl has adhesive already applied on the back with their patented air channels which makes it super easy to install. Getting the corners right is the tricky part. Watch some videos on wrapping various parts and watch what the installers do with the corners.

This is what i Ordered

3M DI-NOC Carbon Fiber Vinyl
Vinyl Color
Black (CA-421)

So its already adhesive? sweet! I am guessing a heat gun/blowdrier is needed for best results...

yes it already has adhesive applied and yes you use a heat gun/hair dryer for the curved areas...make sure you remove the trim pieces btw thats the only way to get all the way around it..
check out my link to my wrap i did and read it through..ive prob answered a lot of questions you may have/will have throughout the thread: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=381109

Thanks SOOO much for the link, I was cruising through it the other day have you had any problems with bubbling? and how hard was it to do your corners? how did you clean your old trim pieces, alcohol?

no i did not glue anything at all..thats why you leave enough extra room/vinyl to wrap around the edges and go onto the back of the piece as much as you can..replacing the pieces (assuming all edges are folded over neatly) will then ensure they wont budge..
as far as bubbling is concerned no i dont have any..but thats cause i followed proper wrapping technique (starting from the middle and working your way out) and used a squeegee to make sure there were no bubbles as i applied...
corners can be difficult but you'll notice the more you do the better you will get. Just be sure to leave plenty of extra vinyl so you have wiggle room and cut corners almost in a star patter like how leather is cut in order to get a perfect corner..the hardest corners are prob the air vents cause they are so small. just use some heat and stretch..as long as you are using the 3M vinyl it is much easier to work with cause of their air channels - if you screw up/make a bubble, you can just lift it and reapply the same piece..

as for cleaning, i think i just wiped it down with some soapy water and some paper towel..then followed by a couple of just wet paper towels to fully remove the soap

let me know if you have any other questions

[fdriller9]

Remember not to stretch the vinyl when it's hot (after apply heat with a heat gun/hairdryer). Wait a bit before stretching it, it just needs to be warm. If you stretch immediately, you can alter the pattern/texture of the vinyl.

Ok, thanks for the awesome info guys, I'll let you know how it turns out! Good thing I ordered a lot invade I mess up!

I have had decent luck with Super 77 on almost all of my projects. I save about $90 when I buy a case of 12 cans http://www.shopdirectbrands.com/super-77.aspx super 77 is the new duct tape
