In the following video, we will show you tips and tricks that will make wrapping your trunk a walk in the park.
The first thing you want to do is clean the vehicle. After you have done that, you need to release a little bit of the liner and then tack it on one side and following that, release the entire liner. Once this is completed, you will see the second piece for the bottom in the roll. All of this is from Rvinyl.
Start at the middle of the wrap. Lay the panel and make sure it is loose on the trunk. Make sure it has no tension in the middle. There should be a lot of on the corners of the panel. Next, you will use the Wrap Institute’s matrix technique. The first thing you will do is heat the film. Next, pull firmly along the body light. This will make the material shrink onto the top of the trunk. Wrapping in pyramids is the name of this technique. You will pull very hard in the middle and shrink onto the corners. Set up one side, heat the film and pull it firmly along the body line.
Relax the film on the body line and then you will pick up the film from the bottom section and heat it. The material will shrink into place because of the heat and make the wrapping process much easier. When you pull the material, be careful not to pull hard, instead guide it to the edge. Once done correctly, there will be no tension on the edge and will last a long time as a result. Gently apply some heat and guide it to the edge.
You will want to evenly pull to the corner and spread it out and apply it where it is needed. After you successfully hook the material to the edge, gently press in on. Fix any small wrinkles on the panel. Once everything is glassy, you can now shift to the top. Next, hold the material light and away from you. Heat it so you can pull the film firmly along the body line which will create the 3D wrapping process.
Once everything has settled and glassed out, relax the film by heating it and the squeegee it. That should shrink the film one more time and relax it onto the surface. Next, you will grab the squeegee with a felt buffer on it and you will apply the film in overlapping squeegee strokes. For the best results, keep the angle of the squeegee low and flat and will help the process be smoother and scratch free.
After you have firmly squeezed the material onto the surface, you will prepare to cut. Before you begin to cut, we recommend doing a 360 around the outside using application gloves and make sure the film is firmly on. If you find any tension, apply more head to smooth it out.
You will cut any excess film using a sharp blade. If any material is floating off the edge, pull it away with your free hand to create uniform tension. If it is bridging the gap, you can cut on the opposite side so the material will be able to wrap around it. Once you have finished cutting all of the edges, remove any excess film and heat the film with application glove on and form the film around the edges.
The purpose of the film is to help soften the film and to firmly seal it onto the surface. As a result, you will get a film that lasts for a long time!

Do the front bumper. Love the tips.
Your wish is our command: ua-cam.com/video/bzS0izk6VJo/v-deo.html 😂
I get saying you "invented" the technique. But I think many installers with alot experience, will more than likely naturally develop that over time without any outside influence.
However, it is definitely something nice to know for someone who's just starting out!💯 The unfortunate thing is that many of these small but important techniques come to you after many, many years of wrapping and developing your muscle memory and learning how the vinyl reacts.
what is the color code for this wrap looks sick
They always pic the easiest TRUNKS! Try wrapping an Altima trunk....
Great tips. What about the little handle area of the trunk is there a method for wrapping that?
The Wrap Institute recently did a video on just that. Check them out if you have a chance.
How much would you say would be a safe bet to buy , how much wrap for a trunk. I've got a 2010 Civic
We would think a 120 inch roll would be more than enough.
@@Rvinyl thanks so much. Which 'film size' there's 5ft x __ on the website would that be again? sorry, I should know but I am a rookie at all this.
@Rafael Hernandez (I know super late response, but hopefully will help😊)
Its usually sold at most places by yardage. And some offer by the actual yard. So, if it's a color change material, more than likely it'll be 60" wide. If you need 120" of length, that would end up being 3.5 yards of a 60" roll give or take.
