VViViD Chameleon Carbon Fiber Purple to Blue Oil Slick Stretch Conform Caste Vinyl Wrap Decal Roll XPO (17.75 Inch x 5ft)
: VViViD Chameleon Carbon Fiber Purple to Blue Oil Slick Stretch Conform Caste Vinyl Wrap Decal Roll XPO (17.75 Inch x 5ft): Automotive
I decided to wrap my 2002 Audi TT Quattro 225 in this vinyl wrap. This was my first attempt ever wrapping anything, but I knew that through the power of YouTube and patience it would be possible. It took me 4 weeks to complete, but was totally worth it. This is a fantastic product and the air release technology is very forgiving for beginners that are learning. I highly recommend it!
Seriously, the poor reviews about the adhesive not being sticky enough and the air-release channels not working like magic are ridiculous. First, the adhesive is made to be less sticky until heat is applied in order to make it easier to reposition. If you bother to look at any of the information that either comes with the vinyl or is easily accessible on the manufacturer website, it's right there. As far as the air-release you can't just throw it on there and expect no bubbling, especially on curved or oddly shaped surfaces. Come on, do you want the wrap to apply itself too??
With a bit of effort both before and during application, this vinyl is simple to work with and looks great once properly applied. I'm not a professional but I found it easy to work with and achieve excellent results comparable to more expensive vinyl wraps. Photos show my 2009 MINI Cooper Clubman with vinyl applied by me using a box cutter, a crafters-grade heat gun, and an old gift card. Steering wheel trim pieces were removed to wrap but the fuel door and panels were done on the vehicle.
Decided to decal my Laptop. I made a few mistakes by scratching the plastic on my laptop- but no the less- this Vinyl wrap was VERY EASY to apply. I used the following products: Plastic Squeegee, hair Dryer, steel ruler (really didn't need this- but just got it anyway), X-acto knife, and isopropyl alcohol with a microfiber cloth. I wiped down the area I was going to decal with the alcohol with the microfiber cloth. Then I cut the decal while tracing my laptop over cardboard in the shape of my laptop with the x-acto knife. I lifted and placed the wrap on the laptop using the squeegee. I used the hair dryer about 1-2ft away to stretch the decal to the area's that are creased. (laptop was off while doing this). I would suggest for anyone who would do this to watch a YouTube video applying this as this is what I did. Be very careful handling razors or knives of any kind. Turned out good- Material is much darker as it shows in the photo.
The product is actually a great quality product if you are inexperienced you may want to watch some videos this vinyl is thicker than most and goes on well if you know what your doing it looks amazing the reason for the 3 star rate is that this company doesn't ship there vinyl as well as metro restyling and other company's it's just rolled up taped and chunked in a oversized box not protected or rolled around a cardboard tube or shipped in a tube I'm sure they have an excuse like everyone else. This may have been fine IF the box had been marked DO NOT CRUSH .. Simple stamp. It came in crushed the box was opened on one end and the vinyl was horribly creased and scratched had to discard the first 3 feet of the roll. The creases were still there after the 3 feet of waste but was able to squeegee out. Probably won't purchase from vivvid again bc of this. It wasn't worth my time or frustration to return it I was able to complete my job with what I had I was looking forward to having some left to make some stripes BUT OH WELL
please dont buy it！ I buy 25ft×5ft by

Description
Size:1.5ft x 5ft
Every material VViViD Vinyl offers is either a CAST or Polymeric material. Cast vinyl is stable when applied to a surface. It harbours no tension, whereas calendared vinyl harbours up to 25%. Calendared vinyl is made by processing a mass of vinyl through rollers and stretching it over hundreds of feet. Therefore when applied to a curved surface such as a car, calendared vinyl will shrink back causing curling, peeling and cracking. In contrast, VViViD's cast vinyl starts off as a liquid and is poured onto a sheet and baked. This means the cast was never stretched to begin with and will stay in place for the life of the vinyl.When cast vinyl is accidentally creased or stretched, you can heat it and it will return to its original form without creases or stretch marks. Polymeric offers the same advantage. It has been heated/treated and pre-stretched allowing for a cast-like application.
DO NOT RECOMMEND. Purchased two of the largest rolls with the intent of wrapping my hood, roof, and tailgate of my car. However after only doing the hood I am extremely unsatisfied. Any amount of stretching the material leads to loss of the carbon fiber design. And after just a few short months of it being on my car, it has absorbed any grease/oil/etc from the road and turned almost completely black. I even had it treated with a sealant by my detailer once I noticed the first few oil spots and that did not help at all. I included pictures of the remaining color it still had when I removed it after 6 months of having it on my car. Also included the pictures from the original installation where you can see the stretched areas and loss of the carbon fiber detail. If you’re going to use this on anything but a flat surface, do not buy it.
I just bought a used Honda accord. The car was hardly used, but whoever detailed the car scratched the interior plastics. I was hoping this would cover the scratches as well as add a custom look to the interior to match my "obsidian blue" exterior color. This was my first time messing with vinyl wraps. I can't say the wrapping process was easy, but this wrap was easy to work with. I tested out a few pieces on some smaller plastic sections, first with a hair dryer. There were only 2 pieces I had to start over with. The vinyl melted just enough with the use of a hair dryer, that I didn't feel I needed a heat gun. A few test tries to stretch and mold the plastic with a hair dryer actually ended up with the vinyl stretching to the point of turning clear. Ultimately, I LOVE the way the vinyl wrap turned out. If you don't have experience with vinyl, my best advice would be to test it out on something small first and be patient. I let the pieces I finished sit for a few hours to ensure I smoothed out wrinkles and bubbles before reinstalling them in my car. I rushed the last few pieces towards the end, so I have 2-3 small bubbles to correct now.
Awesome vinyl great quality looks great
