Thanks for making the video!
My pleasure! Thank you for watching!
Thank you great video and channel.
Thank you, and Thanks for watching!
You seem like a wrap institute trained guy, would you suggest zero strech with the cap on before starting with this like you would do with a mirror? I made the mistake of using triple s under my first attempt without realizing that moisture would be impossible to get out becaaus of the air release 😅 oops
I’ve only recently started experimenting with the zero stretch method, but it can be a good method for wrapping mirrors if other techniques are not working for you. My colleague at work uses this technique to wrap mirrors now and it’s working out great for him. Personally, I prefer to use the yellow tools wrap-eezee tool for doing mirror caps.
@ColorChangeCustoms I got this tint film figured out last night after burning the finish on a little spot the first go. I had trouble believing you could actually keep the cap on the entire time. Incredible success leaving the cap on the whole time and only applying heat to the areas that need it to shrink excess film. Great video, thanks! This is a great product. I hope the air release pattern goes away with a couple days of settling.
Im a 15 year wrap installer. We purchased the VVivid ultimate light smoke material. It went in great and only use a heat gun lightly in ind spot to streach. Its in my bodses Porsche Panamera. There is a hazing look to it through out the film after install. Its bern two weeks and nothibg has changed we parked it out in the arizona sun a few hours a day. You xant realky see it if your a few feet away but of you look st it in the light ir sun just right you see it. It looks horribe. We installed it on headlights and tail lights and it did the same. We even ordered more material and redid the headlights and got the same result. Any suggestions
This may sound dumb, but did you remove the plastic cap afterward? You can install the wrap entirely with the plastic cap on and not even realize it because the plastic cap is super flexible, almost as stretchable as the vinyl itself. The cap will look scratched up and hazy after install.
But if you did remove the cap, then I'm not sure what may have happened. I've never had the issue you described, in any of their shades (super light, light, and dark tint).
i wasted 3 rolls trying to wrap my 18 F150. That bump is killing me
hey, i don't understand why you were fighting with the film instead of just heating at the contour from the beginning. Were you trying to prove a point? b/c if people follow the way you started this, they will get discouraged but all they needed was a bit of heat
with that being said, there are plenty good tips & tricks in this video
Sorry for the late reply. Good observation and valid point on fighting the film. Yeah, I was trying to install the vinyl in a more "traditional" manner. But, when I did this video was pretty much the first time I've used the film really. I've since used it several times since, and now I would warm and stretch the film over the contour earlier. Looks like I'll have to make an updated video :-)
Thanks for the great feedback!
Thanks, i look forward to the updated video :)
I just wasted time and money installing this. No one seems to mention that Vvvid light smoke has a purple tint to it and looks horrible.
Sorry to hear you had a bad experience with it. Maybe you got a bad batch? It happens occasionally, even with big brand names like 3M or Avery (even more so lately post pandemic)
Personally, I've never seen the purple coloring, and I've been fortunate enough to always have good results. I have a bunch of other vids using this headlight tint as well as their regular Premium+ line, and I always show the end results, which look great (in my opinion, of course).
@@ColorChangeCustoms thanks for the reply. Maybe that’s what it was.
