DIY - Vinyl your Car

Hi guys,

I wanted to try to DIY and Vinyl my whole car in matte black.
Im not a pro, doing it for the first time after watching a few youtube videos and also http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...ght=vinyl+wrap


Just wanted to ask:

1. Would anyone be interested in doing this together maybe over the weekend?
2. does anyone know where i can get the Vinyl from in GTA area?

Thanks guys!

Its not hard but not exactly easy.... You have to expect a DIY finish when you do it. This is coming from someone who have wrapped a car before and owns one that was wrapped professionally.

Hood / Trunk / Roof and even doors are easy. Front bumper / Rear you will want to cut your wrists trying to iron out the wrinkles.

Also you are dealing with a pen blade near the finish of your car. Alot of people who i seen do DIY wraps forgot about this and cut too deep when cutting the material away.

Its alot more work than you think.

I wrapped my roof with a friend and i thought it was hard. F that to DIY wrapping a entire car.

Goodluck. I would probably kill myself.
