I did my own wrapping, fairly easy, just take your time, no rush or else you'll be buying some more vinyl. Lol.

If you're doing it by yourself than I would get the magnets. I saw one of the DIY videos and the magnets helped alot for this one guy doing it by himself. I gotta stop watching these videos cause it makes it seem so easy. Do you have the heat gun or you just using a blow dryer?

I'm struggling to find the tools needed. I don't know if I need ten blades or four squeegees or felt tip or 10-23412341234 magnets. There are kits but some seem excessive.

Call your local Grimco and see what they have. Magnets (2-3 will work because you should never do more then 1 panel at a time) Primer 2 felt squeegee You need: Home Depot heat gun, even a cheaper one works Home Depot small exacto, get a pack with a bunch of extra blades Plus a tape measure which you probably already have To elaborate one 1 panel at a time, a lot of guys do a whole side of a car at once, but it does leave enough vinyl to wrap into the door jams a little. Plus it gives you room for error. But stop thinking about it and do it!!! |

Damn you guys! Got me thinking I should do this! It will cost me $300 to paint the rear bumper...probably another $200 to paint the mtech side skirts...$500 bucks! U got me thinking about wrapping piece by piece. I could take off each panel and wrap them in my family room than in my storage. Its winter here so Car won't be driven so I can just wrap each panel as I go?

Beware if you live in an area with lots rock chips it's better to stay away from vinyl wrap. Unless you're getting PPF on top of it. I'm a certified 3M installer myself and it's a pain to always touch up vinyl wrapped cars. Also use edge prep on the edges because over time the dust gets into the edge and cause the wrap to lift.

Any edges whether it's the Hood or doors is what he's talking about. Good info there. Sometimes just not folding it over will hold.
