It shouldn't melt the vinyl or move it. The air coming out of the computer's heat vent is warm, but not enough to melt the vinyl. However, the red accent on the exhaust of the Acer Predator is a textured plastic, a low surface energy substrate. The vinyl may not stick to that part very well.
What if... having purchased a new Mac you have to send it back for repairs under warranty, do you have to rip off the vinyl first? Hmmm... just a thought from someone with a new Mac which I want to protect but...
For wrapping the display side on the plastic bezel around the display, on my laptop that is a textured, matte surface plastic frame to which vinyl does not necessarily like to stick to. While it may be doable, I would not necessarily recommend it. Also you would have to be careful to know where your cutouts are for the camera and the microphone ports. As far as not using a heat gun, you don't have to use a heat gun, but it just helps a lot. If you don't have a heat gun, you can use a hair dryer if you wanted to. The only thing with a hair dryer is that it pushes out a lot of air for the amount of heat it puts out, which could make installing a bit more tedious because the air can move your vinyl around. Depending on which vinyl you use, you might not even need to use a heat gun at all.
@@ColorChangeCustoms and the vinyl won't stick to the lcd display right if I try to apply it like you applied on the front by putting the whole sheet and then outlining sides and cutting it
@@nirupam530 it will stick a little bit depending on the vinyl you are using and the tack of the adhesive and if you press the vinyl into the screen. However, I can't be sure because I've never stuck vinyl to the actual screen of my laptop, and I'm not sure I'd recommend it. If you do, however, be sure you are using good quality automotive vinyl (no ebay specials!!), which is designed to be removable without leaving residue.
At around the 10:30 point in the video I state it took me right around 12 minutes to apply the vinyl, and at around the 13:27 point in the video, I state I used the equivalent of $2.75 worth of the $12 roll of vinyl. Hope that helps provide a general idea of time and materials used cost. Your actual costs in time and material may vary, however.
This looks so cool
I’m planning on covering the red accent of the exhaust, do you think it will melt or become moveable?

Great

I am not sure what the warranty requirements are for apple, but me personally, I would probably pull off the vinyl first before sending it in.
Bro can I cover the laptop display side decal, and can I do this without heat gun?

And even if it sticks it won't leave any marks right after I start removing it after cutting

Will it scratch the laptop using the razor
No, as long as you are careful. It’s always a possibility though
You were being pretty vague about how long the job takes & How much the materials cost..
