Dark Slate Grey Gloss Vinyl Car Wrap Film Roll (3ft x 5ft)

This is an excellent vinyl wrap for cars. The color is glossy and looks like real paint. It’s thick and with some heat it can stretch and bend easily over curves. With some heat, it can shrink back to its original shape and even ‘cure’ some scratches or marks occur during installation. The adhesive is strong but again with some heat, it can be removed/repositioned easily. This is only my second time wrapping a car, my friends can’t believe I did it myself. They all say it was done professionally. I will buy again and actually did buy a little more in case I need to fix certain part in the future. It’s a lot of work but the result is worth it!!!

After watching a few hours of videos and reading about other's experience working with wraps, I tried it myself and was very happy with the results. I have no prior experience with this stuff before and was surprised how well the end turned out. There are off course little blemishes here and there (minor crease), but it's one of those things where only I would notice. To the casual observer, they would think I did a great job! Aside from having the right tools (I'll go into later), patience is the most important aspect of making sure you do a good job.There were 6 total body panels I pulled off the bike. I washed each piece inside and out with dish soap followed by a mild degreaser. Each piece took me anywhere from 2-3 hours to complete. I read some people say you can use a hair dryer, but unless your hair dryer is hot enough to melt your hair, I would go get a real heat gun. It doesn't have to be anything fancy, I bought a $30 one off Amazon and it works nicely enough.Now about having the right tools, I bought a heat gun, cutting tape, and a vinyl tool kit off Amazon. The heat gun and cutting tape were a must. The tool kit came with lots of items that I wasn't sure how to use. What I ended up using from the kit was the felt edge squeegee and the blade.There are lots of informational videos and articles on how to wrap your car or motorcycle so I'm not going to go into it here. I am going to emphasize patience and having realistic expectations. Due to the curvature, some pieces were beyond my skills to wrap in a single piece. This is where the cutting tape comes in handy. Yes, there are seam lines, but when done properly, they are barely noticeable. So if you want to change up the color of whatever you own and have the patience to learn something new, you should be happy with your results!

This wrap was better than I expected when I first ordered it.I was looking for a budget friendly wrap when I found this on sale. I ordered a 5x50 foot roll and the total was less than 300 which is great. The wrap comes with a nice protective film over it protecting it from scratches when wrapping the car and you can peel it when you finish wrapping. One problem I noticed with is it does not stretch that well compared to more expensive wraps. And for some tough edges it has trouble sticking on.

Love this wrap I will get more. Love the color

Difficult to lay this stuff, it does not unroll without delaminating from the contact paper. This vinyl is thin and creases easily as well, I would not use this again for a large 3x5 panel. One more case of buy nice, or buy twice... back to 3m 1080/2080

You have to be crazy to wrap your own car or truck but if you are motivated and incredibly patient the results can be awesome. I watched a ton of YouTube videos and looked fairly easy but when you first start the first piece you know you are in for a journey. If it's your first time I suggest only doing one panel per day. You need some mental rest. I applied in direct sunlight at temp around 60 to 80 degrees. Above 75 degrees in direct sunlight the wrap gets super stretchy and you can get some unwanted stretches in the wrong places. Tricky corners are made easy with a heat gun. You want to go slow and just keep working the wrap. I got lucky and didn't get mad and throw away all the wrap. That could happen Ha Ho. Just walk away and come back to it. Totally cost $550. Totally worth the pain vs a $4000 paint job. I sanded out clear coat peel and filled small dings with filler. The wrap will show every flaw in your paint or dings in your doors.

This wrap is on the thick side compared to Avery and 3M and thus can be a little more difficult to install. It is almost too tacky so I recommend you use something like Rapid Tac spray on the surfaces.It is also very thick compared to others so it will not contour as easily and you will need to use more heat to wrap around corners and edges and such.For the seasoned wrapper, this may not necessarily be a big issue but this material might prove to be a little more difficult to work with for novices with limited wrapping techniques.Think about how much time you want to spend on labor vs saving a few bucks. This is something to consider.

Good product
