I am not a fan of the Lil Chizzler. When I used one in the past, the edge scratched 3M vinyl. Wrapping it in an old t shirt worked.

Awesome! What's your plan of attack? My rear mtech bumper came primered. I wonder if the vinyl will stick to it or does it need to be painted? Same thing when I pick up the side skirts... they'll be primered too?

Also I think it'll work. I've seen some videos of people wrapping unpainted parts like bumpers. It should be fine. Buy a sample and test it out

I was talking to a professional wrapper and he HIGHLY (like pushing me) to pay for The Wrap Institute and watch all their videos before I start wrapping. Does anyone know if that's really necessary? I'm just a college student and I don't have $99 to throw for the videos. Youtube is free lol
I don't understand what do you mean by plan of attack lol. Like how will I start wrapping it and everything?

You guys ever hear of plastidip ? I've had my previous car wrapped in flat white and it was a pain in the ass to keep clean. It was my daily driver so I had to clean it everyday or else the dirt would be a b!tch to remove.
My buddy recently plastidipped his VW white and the plastidip texture is much easier to clean and dirt doesn't cling to it as much. It's also less expensive and much easier to do. Lasts longer and it's harder for edges to start peeling off if you put enough coats |

Sounds like a good plan! Can't wait to see the results. I sat and looked at the car the other day and the part I think that's going to waste a lot of material is the roof liner to the back quarter panel. It's one big piece. I know what's going to happen...your's is going to turn out awesome and than I'll want to do mine lol

I'll like to admit defeat. After 12 hours the past few days with the help from my dad. The vinyl wrap project has been canceled. Videos on YouTube and things online give it no help. It's much more difficult to do that you think. I hate giving up and I always try not to but after multiple attempts, I can not waste any more time and materials. :

Oh wow! What happened? That's a lot of money you spent on materials! What problems did you run in to?

Well we did the hood and my father and I came across multiple problems. Many of the times we would get wrinkles and found out later that it is due to how we are squeegee-ing. Another big issue we had was corners, we would get to a corner (roof and hood), and there would be too much vinyl that we would get a "Giant wrinkle" because of the extra vinyl that ended there. It wasn't easy at all. I feel ashamed for even thinking about this project but luckily both my parents understand the difficulty of it and were happy that I tried. Honestly, all the hours of videos I've watched before starting was not enough.

No ashamed in trying something yourself! It helps others out that this task isn't as easy as we thought it was. I think there's a technique to it
