Knifeless Tape - amzn.to/3Vg46XK
Wrap Sticks - amzn.to/3wZK1eM
Magnets - amzn.to/44X3cCF
What makes it unique?
- Dry install not wet. Much easier to install and user friendly.
- Can wrap bulbous and difficult shapes that would be impossible to wrap with traditional tint.
- All other tint films I've used have a brownish effect, Vvivid's is a true grey color ( light and dark smoke )
- Adhesive is repositionable.
- No need to use solution etc... and wait for edges to dry to seal a finished project
Cons
-Because it has air-release it does have a slight orange peel to the film, it does not look like perfect glass from 12 inches away.

Thanks Tom Brady
he sounds and looks like him
Somehow tom brady makes millions and I'd say tom Brady is more humble than this guy.
Voice is similar looks nothing like him though

Brother Tintman...you’re videos rock. Some folks are just gifted in certain ways and you’ve got a gift for teaching and mad skills for wrapping!! I started with little knowledge on wrapping and tinting. I got hooked...love the stuff although it can be aggravating and difficult at times for sure. Your videos are the best and a tremendous help. Thanks...keep them coming!!
I did this to my 15 ram all the real lights and mirror lights in 2 hours by learning all this stuff from you! Love your videos man
I just did my tail lights and fogs with this material and tape technique. Overall it's really nice to work with, takes a little getting used to the thick material, I ruined the first piece with some permanent fingering from overstretching slightly. Good gloss, good scratch healing, good light transfer.. I did light smoke.
honestly the best tinting vid on youtube right now. trust me...ive watched like 50 of them
I appreciate your videos. You’re jam packed with a lot of info and very detailed. If I ever do decide to get certified to wrap or take a wrap class, I will be sure to use yours. Even though you’re in Canada and there’s a lot of available classes in the u.s, I wouldn’t feel right using it because I’ve started with you
Man, after only watching a handful of videos I can already tell you're one of the best in the game when it comes to UA-cam content. Not to mention your skills. Very detailed and informative. And you obviously have a great amount of experience and passion for what you do. Wish there was someone like you around my area. I gotta travel at least 50 miles just to get some decent quality work that I'm sure is still about 50% of the quality you do. Keep up the great work bro love watching the vids! 🤘
I'd love to see you tackle some 2008-2010 Scion xB taillights. Nothing flat about them
bro thank you for the tutorial and thank you for the link on where we can buy it! you’re amazing brotha
Awesome vid!!! I will use this for my tailght wrap..Smoke is 👍🏽.. 9 minutes from application to tape peel .. Master Class
Hi Chris , Happy Monday , I'm here as usual for my wrapping class :) John from Harwinton Connecticut USA
You got mad skills, love watching a Master at work.
The Late Model Tech. He is far from a master. Just a little above average when it comes to this stuff

I’ve used the light smoke tint on my taillights and it looks great, I want to do it to my headlights but I’m worried about spider cracks/crazing because of why I have read on forums. What is your experience with this?
Can’t wait to try. I’m gonna use the hex light film and cut around for my reverse lights to be as clear as possible. Keep up the great work. 💪💯
Thanks mate, I bought the same tint and installed today and they looks good. I think I have nearly the easiest tail light to tint and still took me a good 30 mins per side while the Subaru is super hard for me and you did it in 10 mins. I am embarrassed. Thanks for your video.
Superb. Thanks .
Do you use primer at the edges of a normal vinly. I have seen that done in 3m car care garages
Love your channel. Getting ready to do my tail lights and re-wrap the hood on my Camaro SS 1LE this weekend. I've hopefully learned a lot by watching your videos.
I'm honestly amazed by how awesome this looks and how easy it looks! I had the absolute worst experience on my first and second attempts at tinting my taillights because I was using bad stuff and I had no clue what I was doing. I was about to give up and take it to a shop until I saw your video. I'm definitely going to be trying this!
How’d it go?
Did you ever do it?
Just done this with same stuff on Mazda 6 and looks good. Took lights out in the end as mad it easier for us and also a lot better with 2 people. The key is to get the heat and stretch into it. Thanks for the video
Big like, I've watched lots of tutorials for this job, non of them explains it like you did, thanx a lot, greetings form Iraq
Thank you! Your video is probably the only one who shows how to get around curvy tail lamps... Tried it again (coz I kept getting wrinkles at the top of the rear light) and the wrinkles are not as bad... Im gonna try again soon.. Hope I can get it perfect the next time..
Great video......thanks I will tinting headlights and taillights on my 03 Ford Expedition as soon as the vinyl shows up...........I use my 03 truck as my vinyl wrap practice mule.........lol
nice job, as always. I like that gold/yellow wrap in the background.
Thats just a taxicab thats just had a fresh wash.
I truly appreciate your videos it is teaching me a lot and I am planing to start my own side hustle
Nice little showcard! And finaly a UA-camr with a body mic. Great audio quality.
Just used the video and wrapped the taillights of my 22 Impreza. Would never have made it around those tight turns without this video.
I did a set of 2018 f150 tail lights with those complex channels this weekend. Very impressed with the film.
So I watched your vids and did my tail lights. It was amazingly easy after watching your vid and the air release tint was great.
Thanks for all the great videos! Is it possible for you to do a video on vinyl wrapping letter/number emblems in the near future?
Great job as usual, but I had a question, you see how once you have tinted the tail light, that shade of red looks super nice, do you have that exact same color available in a car wrap? That color looks super nice.
Love all your videos man!!! I'm going to some vinyl wrapping classes next week with Justin Pate and I'm super excited!! your videos are so great, keep up the amazing work! maybe we could get together sometime!
yup. been looking at all his videos. makes it look easy lol. but very professional.
Top work ....now considering DIY method...was gonna pay for this....excellent vid man
Thanks
I did DIY and almost came out great for a 1st timer
My question how much do you leave on the edges so the vinyl wraps around the light?
I cut to near the edge and noticed the following day started to peel back
Any suggestions?
Thank you so much for this video. Super helpful and informative
I was able to install the vivid smoke vinyl on the taillights and signal lights of my jeep. thank you
Damn, I'm learning a lot of technique from you.
Ive literally just tinted my taillights for the first time using these Vvivid wraps and this tutorial helped a bunch. It was so easy to work with. HOWEVER, could anybody please give me some advice on how to avoid those glue lines?
Good god that looks good!!! The entire car does.
Great vid! Awesome amount of help!! Thank you!
I just did this today to my 2018 silverado 1500. First time wraping and it came out exelent no bubbles, no creases perfect. The only thing i messed up it was because i did the light in my room,, bad idea i thoughtbit would be easier like that but no no no.. Thanks for the video!!!
Very Informative Video, I Definitely Will Have Fun Doing This On My Truck, Thank You So Much.
like always great job!! do you have a video on removing tint? is it just like colorchange vinyl?
I used to have a Tint shop and have been thinking about getting into vinyl,do you have any vids on the business aspect of it?Ideas for getting started etc?
First of all you did an Amazing job, I have a little question are the headlight tint easy to remove and if have finished tinting and realize you have some creases can you pick it up and start again?
Thanks for bringing us yet another vibe 🥂 enjoyed
Nice job mate. I can't wait tint my taillights.
You are the man , thank You CK , I learning a lot , thank you teacher.
Best tutorial video ever. Ordered the same tail light tint used your tape trick around lights. BOOM success. Wasn’t perfect on my first go around. But super happy with the process. Thanks!!
I just purchased my first roll of Vivvid dark smoke lense tint to do my girlfriend' mustang. I was going to start doing headlight tints, black out roof wraps, carbon fiber hood wraps ect to get into it myself. Video is exactly what I needed to see today!! Thank you!!!
Nice job going to try this . Have you ever used this on chrome window trim ? Thinking it would look like “black chrome”
Thanks much! Great job 👍 gives me the confidence to try it myself.
Always awesome, got my Impreza done... Not such a good vinyl but it did the job. Thanks and Congrats.
Got a precut kit from lamin-x for my 2013 911, removed the taillights, took me 2 minutes, no cutting, taping, heating or trimming. Looks perfect and it cost $38.
@@63foti I can buy a roll of 4D wrap (5’x5’ roll) for $25 versus $38 for one time use.
Dude, you're really good. I have a 2018 BMW 540. It has some pretty aggressive geometric shapes to the tail lights. I was ready to use the spray-tint until I watched some of your videos. Just placed and order for the film. Wish me luck!
Top notch install as usual. 👊🏻
Really interesting about how with certain brands of film you have to cut out the white portions of the lens to avoid browning! I was seeing on another Vinyl Wrapping channel that they recommend replacing the wrap on pieces like the roof every 2-3 years? Can you chime in with your opinion on that? Would you recommend that after wrapping pieces that see a lot of heat cycle like roofs and headlights/taillights that you redo it every few years so that the paint beneath doesn't get ruined? Thanks!
Hey CK, great videos! What temp. On my heat gun should i use for wrapping my tail lights? (2014 wrx sedan/using Vvivid Dark Smoke Tint)
Great video demo Christian... would love to try it out. 👍
@ckwraps been watching this video probably more than 10 times.. looking forward to install these tints on the tail lights of my car...
Wrapped my 1995 honda accord windshield with opaque black. Looks SWEET!!! Can't see anything but, still.... looks sweet!!!
I've watched a number of your videos, Christian, and they are well done and informative. I'll be blacking out the window trim and grille surround on my '16 TLX, wrapping the tails, and may even try tackling the roof (all for the first time). For the tails: You tint the lights while still on the vehicle. Is there any benefit/detriment to removing them and wrapping them off the vehicle? Thanks from a wrap noob.
Your videos are very informative! Keep up the great work! 👍🏻
I bought R-vinyl tail light film. Haven't installed yet. Going to soon. Excellent video man. Really, well done.
NOICE. I just bought that same wrap for my Audi. Trying to black it out more
Good video, thanks for posting this... makes me want to do my black z06 now!
I am about to do yellow on my 2017 Tacoma headlights, and fogs, and they are not very flat, def the most bulbous headlight housing on the 4Runner and Taco. thinking there will be a lot of fingering, but this video was super helpful with starting at flat spots and just heat and working it as you go. Thanks man if it comes out nice ill give credit here
Hey looks great .going to wrap my 2015 ford edge sport very easy to.pull my rear tail lights will.pull them off and wrap them I used vivid carbon fibre to wrap piano console inside was easy keep up great work thanks
Can you do a light zoomed in a bit Right at the light so we see a little more detail of what the material can do while your installing?
I have been trying to wrap some tail lights on a 2018 charger with the Vvivid matte black and i must really suck or the vinyl sucks because it continues to mess up lol, excellent work man!
Thanks Christian great work!!
Lov it... Great job bro 👍👍 looks Awesome!
That's what you call passionate about something cool dude
I have a 2015 sti and your videos have helped a ton. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge, and going into such depth. You're the man and I'm gladly subscribed!
You make it look easy. I may order some tint and try it!
I really like your videos. Thanks. Btw, and this might be a stupid question, is it possible to wrap a tail light that is already wrapped. Meaning wrap it twice to further darken it, in case the tint i got is lighter that what i like.
APA air release light film is also excellent.. great vid
Love the dark red candy look
Thanks for the lesson Christian, how much do you charge for tail & head lights? I hope to find a video where you break it down for us. Keep up the great work!
Awesome, need to try this on mine!
I know you have probably already been through this before in your video's but I have been through a lot of them and can't find it anywhere, but what temperature do you set your heat gun and go you always set it at the same temp?
Great video. Been looking for a really good tint film, think I may of just found it
You won't be disappointed. Just take your time with it.
How well will the headlights tint stick and stay on rims? I wanna use the blue on my chrome rims
Bro the tail late is amazing
hey CK, i was wondering, tint costs are different for a roll. How much wrap film rolls do I order to have enough supply for multiple cars that want headlight/tail light tints? How much could I charge for a service like this? I hate my current job and want to continue and refresh my tinting/wrap skills. Your videos have helped alot and made me realize my passion is back in the auto industry. I hope you see this. Thanks
I did my Denali taillights with this stuff. It's easy at first, but once you start having to navigate corners and edges it gets tedious and using the heat gun becomes important. You can melt the vinyl too much :-) Try not to handle it anywhere where it will touch the lens, your finger oils will eventually cause it to peel. It also seems best to try and wrap the edges around the light otherwise it may peel off.
is it possible to wrap a roof arch from a Peugeot RCZ with this foil. because i like the smoked effect it gives
Just ordered some of the light smoke tint thanks to this video, I saw the old one you did on the bmw a while ago but this one made me pull the trigger.
Robbie Allen where can we order some at. Please send me link. Thanks!
Baby D510 directly from Vvivids website, it’s listed under headlight tint.
Would you not recommend applying the dark smoke tint to front headlamps for legal reasons or because it detracts a great deal from the lumen output? Also what is the difference between the tint you linked and tint with the hexagons in it? Both made by Vvivid.
THANK YOU FOR THE PRO TIPS!
I'm thinking of "smoking"/"black chroming" my chrome bumpers. Would this material work well for that, or is there something better?
Hi. So I wrapped my grill and chrome boot lid trim in Matt black. Looked awesome. Wrapped some heater vent in 3D carbon just coz I had the cheap wrap left over from an in house project. Vents came out ok but wondering if heat will make it peel. If it does will try again with some 5/6D. So anyway I usually spray tint rear clusters and am pretty good at getting them Matt or glossy with some polish. But then saw that you can wrap lights too. I was just about to get a light or medium smoke tint for like £5 for 2 lights worth and do my front lights when I saw this vid. But my question is this. For a novice is it worth paying the £25-£30 for this vvivid tint? And you said its easier to fit which I hope it is, but am I also correct in that it won't yellow or brown the light from the front lights too? Should I try it? Thanks
How do you cut it for the reverse lights?
What kind of tint do you use? I used normal window tint-not sticky like the one you used in video (had excess and wanted to see if I liked it) but after a few days only one of the corners started to peel (prob do to over stretching since it was my first attempt at tinting anything). What brand/type do you recommend to use for headlights-tail lights?
Love the video! Not sure why people hit thumbs down... I would love to see you do a CTS V coupe
Any advice on how to do the puddle lamps on my ram's mirrors? I keep getting tiny wrinkles near the edges. Also how much heat do you use? My heat gun has two settings 500 and 1500 degrees.
U make it look so easy. Have u done a 2018-19 Accord? Man these tail lights r too tough too do...I tried to do it this morning and gave up
You make it look easy. I tried this on a Ford Fiesta MK7 that was impossible to get it perfect without all the lines and bubbles, so i gave up after 1 hour of fighting and pain in the hands. But i had the taillights off, of the car. So that may explain it.
What kind of tape is that neon green again? Thanks for the upload
I have one done, this was a nightmare man, you impress the shit out of me lol
Great video, I did my 2020 WRX tail light today. Used this as a guide and just went with it for the most part. I'm happy for being the first time.
Subscribed for the rest of the STI video 🤓
Added note:
8:30 I bought this vvivid film and the reverse looks brown so not sure what happened but meh
I had a little difficulty tinting my dodge journey tail lights. I also burned the tint so I know i added too much heat. But the flat to a round and concave surface was tricky. Any pointers?
