I was bored at work today and was watching wrapping videos. I came across this..

Why is that? Don't have the patience to watch 8 minutes of them to find the mistakes...

 

[klingsdesigns]

I understand its their first time.. It is pretty bad though.. Finish product is ok.. I def wouldn't trust it.

In the end it's not how you play the game, only matters if you win or loose, in the end they WON!

Not bad for 1st timers...

 

[Mike F]

Yea, that wasn't as bad as I thought it was gonna be. I did cringe a little though when they just slapped the whole thing down and there were a bunch of big bubble in the center. Turned out pretty well in the end for a couple of average schmucks though.

 

[OldPaint]

just shows how "anyone" can hang vinyl))))))))))

 

[Craig Sjoquist]

Why would anyone put out a video like that ?

I have never wrapped a hood much less a whole car /.truck but even I knew this was way way wrong it turned out poor cause I do not believe it will last it's intended time.

Glad I saw it though realizing how important correct ways work...fast.

I cringed when they used wax and grease remover without gloves. Did that for way too long myself.

Cobon Faba is Lita....and makes the Ka Fasta........dumb and dumber.

 

[Sign-Man Signs]

The only thing I see they did wrong was not get it up too 100 moh and run it into a wall. Poor car.

 

[TheSnowman]

Do people just wrap a hood in carbon fiber and leave it like that? Maybe it's all that "bonnet" talk.

 

[Bly]

They're fn bonnets down here mate.

See. Any nimrod can wrap a car.

Post heating... what's that?

 

[OlsonSigns601]

Problem with Carbon Fiber is that if you stretch it to much its going to look wavy in some parts and straight in others if you stretch it to much.

I wouldn't want a carbon fiber wrap to be my 1st wrap job.

I also wonder how many times they burned themselves with the heat guns they were using.

Jump to 4:15 to save yourself some time, I'd like to see him cut and weed 200 logos on that setup, haha.

I want that 8 minutes of my life back... that was PAINFUL to watch the first section where they just laid it down with all the wrinkles only to have to pull the entire thing back again. The HUGE bubble was painful too. But all in all I was surprised that the final product turned out as well as it did.

 

[heyskull]

They were lucky it just didn't rip when they were yanking it off.
They were a lucky pair of b*****ds.
I didn't think it was possible to get a bubble in vinyl that big!
I am on with wrapping my motorbike tank in carbon wrap material and to be honest it will not go on in no less than 3-4 pieces.
I have tried 3 different manufacturers of this stuff now and all are very fragile compared to printed and flat colours.

He should definitely stay away from vinyl graphics. He seems to master the airbrush WAY better... He would never work for me... (replacing letters the way he did would lead to a slap on the back of the head )

Never done something before? Let's make a how-to video showing people how it's done! No experience? No problem! God, I love this industry!
Even funnier was the video where they "painted" chrome on motorcycle wheel without dismounting the tire.

Total hacks.

Now excuse me while I go make a video on open heart surgery...
