Saved 2K and wrapped my hood.! Now ima do the rest with confidence.! 2k is the whole car wrapped btw.
One of the best quick how to videos I've seen on here. Usually the videos are way too long, or they are literally not at all what the subject of the video says they are, and a complete waste of time trying to watch. Thank you for making this video, it's made me feel more comfortable in preparation to try to wrap the hood of my car.
most of them are 40 minutes long lol
i dont mean to be so offtopic but does anyone know of a trick to log back into an instagram account..?
I stupidly lost my login password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me!
@Vivaan Avery instablaster :)
@Kasen Gabriel i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and im in the hacking process now.
I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Kasen Gabriel DAMN IT ACTUALLY WORKED :O Literally got access to my instagram password within about 30 minutes by using the site.
Had to pay 15$ but definitely worth the money =)
Thanks so much, you really help me out!
Always thought learning to vinyl wrap would be cool, this is the only useful video I have found that is straight to the point an simple. Thanks!
The only video on UA-cam that’s quick, to the point, and very informative. Can’t wait to start my project.
You all did an amazing job With this video. Very thorough but straight to the point.
Short and sweet! No extra BS at all! 👍👍
Wow amazing work you guys did great !!! Cant wait to try it myself
I've watched a lot of videos on this...this was simple and had a lot of good detail tips. Thanks!
Nice video,direct to the point. Worth the 7 mins
Excellent video straight to the point, great job
Ok, this is the best way to put on wrap on the hood out of all other videos in youtube out there. Thanks.
Straight to the point love it!
A very good video on wrapping a hood. I shall study this and try to remember all I have seen. Thanks again, guys.
Nothing but happen! Excellent video and I got more out of this than most of the others. 👍🏻
Been watching many different videos from different UA-cam channels... This so far has been the most straight forward video... Many others including ck wraps just dont have the true teaching talent. You know what your going to say and keep it simple... Great video.
Great vid guys! Good production, clear instruction, and to the point. Nice job!
Really great video! I would advise steering your clients towards satin black instead of matte black. It's much easier to maintain and clean. It's also a deeper black with a nice sheen that will maintain the appearance of the car's body lines 🤙
Love the content!
Awesome video sir, helped a lot can you please make a video on how to wrap rear and front bumpers, which have a lot of angles
Nicely done fellas I really appreciate this video
Good job! I appreciate the detail in your video.
Amazing video. I want to DIY my tesla model 3 hood soon. This video is going to help me so much. Thanks guys. You’re amazing.
perfect bro thank you im going to try to wrap my hood this weekend wish me luck !!
Thanks for the video. It was super informative
U guys make it look so easy haha I’m struggling so bad
What wrap did you use? What make? Any from this manufacturer to avoid?
Excellent demistration! Great job...Guys!
REALLY GOOD AND USEFUL
I m going to try it thanks for the video
You make this look so easy. Lol. I am about to wrap my ram diesel truck. Hope it goes just like your video.
super nice tutorial
Outstanding. Thank you.
Damn!! Made me feel prepped 2 go & do my own!! Thx u 🎉
Best video on how to do this on you tube thank you!! Ima save myself the money and wrap my hood the clear coat is coming off the middle of my hood man and I’m not paying over 1,000 is the quotes for my hood nah ima do it myself thank you sir!!!!🎉❤
Did you end up doing it? The clear coat is coming off my hood too and I'm also considering wrapping it. But wondering if the surface imperfections will show through the wrap..
I wanted to see the full application of the relax on the curve.
Great video thank you
I have that same Porter heat gun. What temp do you set yours at for that last part of the process?
Perfecto 👌🏽 gracias
Great job
Thank you bro for this
Hell yeah I wanna do this
Good Job! ‘Liked” it 👍😏
Hey guys. John here. Fantastic video! Question: I have a 2021 Toyota C-HR. The color is Bronze Oxide. I have been thinking about wrapping only my hood on this car. If you had to choose, what color wrap do you think would look good with the Bronze Oxide of the car?
What do you guys use to keep the hood and trunk propped up a bit while you wrapor do you wrap these things while they are closed? Also how long do you recommend letting it sit before getting it washed etc?
Appreciate it this brother
Thank you. How about adding a tutorial for a two color wrap,for example a red cover with two white sporty stripes
you guys are the BEST, Chicago auto PROS.
Nice vid! Just wondering if you can still install a vinyl wrap if the hood has some very tiny paint chips..
Thanks brother.
awesome man thankd.
nice tutorial. 👍
Do front fascia. I’m planing on wrapping my hood and front fascia.
Thanks for posting. Question, have you done a C6 corvette. The rear bumper looks tricky. Thanks buddy
I want to wrap my hood roof and trunk on 2017 Civic Coupe. It's black but want those 3 peices satin white chameleon. How wide wad your roll (5ft)? You made that look so easy which I'm sure it's not. Do you recommend a cleaning solution to wash before install or just soap n water then rinse and dry? Last question if tiny bubbles don't come out can you poke then with a small pin to get air out?
Thanks
Will be my first time trying to wrap. Great video thanks
Good job ...thanks for the good info
can you advice wrap a hood with alot if air spots chipping ..would it look at least 75% good I amnot askingfor pefect ..
Thank you
The genesis bumper just vibing in the background
Good deal guys, thanks!
I plan to wrap my wife's hood soon. The clear coat is somewhat flakey and I want the wrap to come out nice. Do I need to sand the clear coat completely off?
Fantastic
You guys are badass
You made it look easy, Vinyl wrap does not require the soap solution like PPF? Curious, as a DIY project how many times would a first timer have to start all over on a typical hood? Front ends look to the the worst!
You're going to fail the first time... trust me. But after the first time you'll learn that stretching that bad boy first is the way to go.
What is recommended when the hood clear is faded? Should I sand it a bit with a fine sand paper?
Similar to paint. The smoother and more even the surface, the better the film will stick. On a shot hood I'd sand and primer.
Thanks buddy
Very good tutorial Bro.
Thank you.
What was the length of time from start to finish. The holds for the windshield fluid that hits the front window. How do you cut that? How long with the wrap last.
Is it possible to get a good start with laying it down on a hood if you're alone, or do you have to have another human to help? 😬 Also, I'm very short, so any tips or advice would be great as this is my first time messing with vinyl and I'm restoring a 2006 mustang... 👍
I love it. Wouldn't think there is too many options for gloss black. Well, there isn't, except matte. gray would work too. But a lot of ppl will be asking why did you forget to paint your hood. Many ppl don't like matte or even satin, it looks like primer for paint. I couldn't disagree more. Would love to matte/satin wrap a car. Wonder if roof would look good as well, I'm guessing yes.
Why don't you use the spray on the hood and Squeegee the spray out or is that not recommended? I've never done a hood but I've done several signs and I used the spray, just curious
For old cars with window washer nozzles, do you need to remove it before the wrap?
well done.
I wish just one of these Hood DIY videos would say something along the lines of if you get to the last corner and you have too much material bunched up you have done this wrong because that's what happened to me the first time and I'm not sure what I did wrong because none of these videos explain what it means if I have too much material bunched up at the end
Do you want to heat the whole hood afterwards to get the vinyl glue to stick better or just the edges?
Will it still stick if there is a little rust on the lip under the hood
What material is good and okay to use and what material is not good like I'm looking on eBay for a carbon fiber 4 or 5 D and it looks mostly interior with a sticky back but I'm not quite sure this is going to be a first time for me
Do you have to spray the surface with water first ?
Is it detrimental to clamber? My vehicles is pretty new, no scuffs or dents can I get away with just a nice wash of the hood?
So the lip that fold under slightly round the back is enough to hold its grip on the edge and not peel off?
Hellon. At what temperature you use the heat gun
really nice! would i do it "NO" pass to you pro's. Thankx for showing your work, knowing be done right!
How long does this last? And cant it be washed without damaging it?
21 here, I have a ultra white Toyota, any opinions on if I should do hood flat black or white? It's a '10 matrix s and has a big scratch I want to cover, also what should I do with the hood ornament?
Thx 🤘🏼😎
Dumb question. I bought some vinyl on Amazon it’s gloss black and has a thin film on the outside do I leave the film on til after I’m done wrapping?
Can I put vinyl flame decals on top of my vinyl hood wrap? Will it stick? I just want to add another dimension to the hood with a complimentary color flame...Thx
Where can I can get material? good video
Pros n cons for vinyl wrap vs paint job ?
I live in S Carolina….I need to call around n see what a pro charges. My 2007 car has all kinds of paint off the hood. It may need to be sanded prior to vinyl install as my wife did a terrible job trying touch up paint.
Haven't spoke to wrap a hood in Atlanta braves wrap on a van
This may seem like a strange question but can I just buy clear matte vinyl anywhere?
How long with good care on average that would last? Could u make one with the clear bra? Chicago Auto Pros puts the best vids on you tube.
The ViVViD wraps have a 5 year warranty
It last for a very long time. Lol I mean it’s not gonna come off once it’s on if done right. The worst happens is 1. It can get chipy if you try to take it off years later it will be hard Getting it off. 2 it can get dirty of course but you can easily buy cleaning products made especially for wraps.
How much do paint imperfections show through to the vinyl surface? The front part of my hood has medium sized rock chips. Thank you... nice video. 😎👍🏻
You’ll for sure notice them after laying film over. Best to try and fill them before wrapping.
@@TonyLoewen Thanks. Nobody ever tells us this. I will ensure mine are smooth now.
Awesome video! I just tried to do this by myself on my hood and it looks like a ball sack now, unable to remove the creases :(
If your creases weren't too bad, a little lift and heat will get them out.
Deceiving ain't it. Did mine today and the vinyl is nowhere near as stretchy
This is what they want me to pay 3 grand for ?
It's Labour intensive ...
@T-800 Model 101 Infiltrator Unit. Sounds like you got ROBBED. I'd just buy a carbon fiber hood for that price for my Cadillac ats 2.0T
ANYONE whose spends over 1,000+ for vinyl wrap needs a MRI done on there brain. Just buy a carbon hood and call it a day this way you can swap the hoods on the fly.
@2 Brownish Girls um….. a roof wrap is no more than $150 and hood should be no more than $300. So probably $500 for both at the highest.
People who get this usually make good money and value the work more then you
In today's economy you might pay $3k now 😂
If you think it's so easy there's something called diy, chop chop
Nice.
Having watched this vid 3 times I thought I'd have a go.
All I can say is it looks easy, my attempt was a nightmare. There was nowhere near the stretch in my vinyl.
Gave up after 90 mins.
Where do you get the wrap from
Do you need to reheat the entire piece of vinyl after you’re done to secure the adhesive?
I was wondering this as well 🤔
No that’ll loosen the wrap up, you want it to cooldown and tight form around the hood
helpful...
Great video to get a person started, but that mat black looks like an after market hood. I'm 51, a different era than people younger than me, and another color would have been better, but everybody has their own like. God bless y'all, and thanks.
What’s a good vinyl wrap brand to purchase from?
Nice
