I'm about to do a couple vinyl wraps and I'm not sure how much I should get. I'm wanting to do the trunk (coupe) for sure and maybe the hood, so how much vinyl should I get for each individual one??

 

For the hood, you'll need a 5'x5' sheet. For the trunk, you'll need a 5'x4' sheet. The trunk is extremely tricky to do because of the design and curves. Ask me how I know.

 

So both those will be able to do it with ONE solid sheet? I don't want to piece it together if I can afford it

 

You can just buy a 5'x10' sheet. That will be more then enough to do your trunk and hood. I bought a 5'x15' sheet and did my hood, trunk, and roof. And I had a good 2-3 feet of extra vinyl to do small things I wanted to do.

 

^ where do you buy the large sheets of vinyl?

 

Heres an idea... get a ruler, go outside to your car, and measure it...

I purchase all my vinyl from Metro Restyling - Carbon Fiber Vinyl - Camo - Woodgrain Vinyl Wrap

 

doin a wood grain roof??

 

so is $80 reasonable for a 5x5 wrap for the hood?


and what size do you guys think for the roof? Im thinking of doing the hood, roof, truck. But i cant figure out if i want carbon fiber, flat black, or gloss black. What do you guys think would go good with my gold car?

and i know decal fx has a new type of high gloss carbon fiber wrap that i saw too. but they only make it by 24" so you have to use multiple pieces.

 

What adhesive do you guys use? And what tools or materials? If you don't mind me asking

 

Cheapest place to buy vinyl is ebay. I for my 5'x15' sheet I used, I paid $115. Of course it was that expensive cuz it was carbon fiber vinyl. It was way more then enough for me to do my roof, hood, and trunk. As fars as materials, a mixture of water and alcohol in a spray bottle, a squeegee, and a heat gun is all that's needed.

 

And skill and patience Also I would assume lol I'd probably mess that **** up

 

my thoughts exactly! not that hard to do!

 

the vinyl comes with adhesive already but for easy install spray the surface down with a mild soapy solution. lay the vinyl down over that and use a squeegee, credit card w/e to work out the soap water. once the water is gone it will stick bubble free. its a little tricky but easier than it sounds. also a heat gun (hair dryer) works well in assisting this job. infact, i would HIGHLY recommend it.

 

should i do gloss black, matte black or carbon fiber what do you guys think?

 

I was looking at camouflage red.. It would be nice to know how to do it.
