Vinyl Wrap

Pourky · 07-23-2013, 05:33 PM

Hello. I recently purchased the Kerscher Lip and I would like to vinyl wrap it in flat black to match the theme of my car. Would anyone have a rough idea what costs roughly would be on this type of lip to be wrapped and any locals that would be willing to do it?

Appreciate any help. Thanks!

Do it yourself, its not difficult, you can stretch vinyl when heated and the adhesive isnt much... so you can put it on peel it adjust and attach again.

if you goto a shop expect to pay $100-150

I suck at car work stuff. I can give it a shot but rather have it done right personally. Haha.. I am willing to pay someone here if they are willing to help me out with it.

Their reviews on Yelp look questionable but yeah, they must be. Pretty sure their clientele (i.e. Veyron

) didn't have a problem paying that kind of money though.

OP, you should definitely try to do this little project yourself with a help from a forum member trained in the dark arts of wrapping. It'll save you money (already spent some moolah on the lip I'm sure), doesn't look too difficult and most importantly, it'll be super rewarding once you put in some work with your own bare hands!

Some people cut the vinyl with thin plastic "blades".
I don't think those can harm paint.

Sharp enough to cut vinyl is sharp enough to cut into clear coat, imo. If it was my car I wouldnt mind but not willing to risk it on someone elses.

We're talking about window trim, right?

When people apply vinyl to the trim, its not applied on top of ANY painted surface. it wraps around, behind the trim. you can probably use a credit card to trim away at vinyl if you were skilled enough.

Anyway, its not rocket science. But at the same time, it does take skill.

Maybe you should offer your time to help these two guys out.

I am in the 818 area actually. And if you are willing I would appreciate it. I can give some cash for your services also. I mean its the Kerscher lip so I can see it being that hard but I don't have the skills or experience.

I vinyled my window trim without taking it off.. The back and top is easy; however, the front is a pain in the ass due to the side mirriors. It's not an easy job

Go to European Vision Auto in the SFV over on Reseda BLVD. Talk to Kevin and tell him Ron sent you and he'll hook you up!
