    Kudro Rico The mirrors hadn't been done on this car yet so it wasn't a re-wrap. This eclipse belongs to a friend of mine who I sponsored with a full wrap. As for brand, I prefer to stay away from 3m. I find it's hard to work with and very over priced. Their carbon fiber also isn't as nice as Vvivid Vinyl, I only use carbon fiber from Vvivid Vinyl. I would recommend using Avery Dennison if you're a beginner. Avery is very easy to use and also more cost effective, I consider Avery to be the Rolls Royce of vinyl brands.

    How do you get the wrap to form so well? I tried doing my mirrors, but the vinyl just didn't like going around the curves. I'll get the face of the mirror perfect, then all hell breaks loose at the edges. It either wouldn't stick, or it would wrinkle horribly no matter how much heat I use. Do I have to allow a short cooling period to allow the vinyl to harden before continuing?
