How to Vinyl Wrap Window Trim Black | CHROME DELETE

[Music] so today I've got a much requested and frankly much needed modification for the car I'm gonna be vinyl wrapping the chrome trim it's gonna be gloss black so if you've been following for a long time you might remember I had originally plastidip it on my head that on for about a year but um I think that the vinyls gonna be just a better long-term solution and it's gonna be glossy so it's gonna match the car a little better so yeah let's do it during the garage with my dad today so if you see him working in the back it's one of the reasons I'm kind of excited to get my own house eventually I'm just renting right now so I come over my parents to do these DIYs but he builds these sets for our church I'll show you what the end product looks like so this goes on the stage and it's like a dark auditorium and then they're lit from the bottom with LEDs so I think these are pretty cool but anyway that's what my dad's doing today and we're just kind of working together here all right so first let's go over the supplies I've got this roll of two inch gloss black 3m vinyl an exacto knife with a brand new blade you want the blade to be very sharp for this this regular sort of painters tape I'm going to show you what this is for in a second some alcohol so that you can clean the surface to prep it this handy vinyl applicator squeegee and then just kind of optionally I got these vinyl application gloves it's supposed to be a little bit less friction and it kind of reduces the scratches and stuff in the vinyl um as you're applying it and then every part going to be a little bit different but on the e90 and a 92 this back corner right here is a little bit too wide for that 2-inch roll so I went ahead and got this big roll that I can just kind of lay flat on there and I don't have to worry about it being too thin in some spots so I'm you're just gonna have to look at your car and determine whether or not you're gonna need to do this but anyway all of the links for all these products are gonna be down below if you want to buy them on Amazon that definitely helps me out a little bit or if you just want to you know buy them at the store that's up to you just do whatever is easiest the first step is just going to be prepping the surface by just rubbing it off with some rubbing alcohol that'll clean any oils or wax or anything that might be on there and just a little tip I actually wash the car last night that way it would have overnight to fully evaporate all the water that might be trapped in the seams there that way when we go to actually tuck in the vinyl there's no like water or anything that would have it not adhere the way that I wanted to you so once the surfaces are nice and clean and ready for the vinyl the next step this is a tip that I've seen in a couple different vinyl application videos is you put this on the paint and it makes the paint on the car less tacky that way when you're trying to apply the vinyl and you're trying to kind of maneuver to maneuver it or on these areas it's not going to be just sticking to the car the whole time so let's go ahead and tape up this question all right so let's just hope that the vinyl actually comes out better than this tape job but anyway I'm going to start with this top section here [Music] all right so I've got this top section here pretty much done I just have to trim off the excess and so far what I've learned um this job is definitely going to test your patience it's not as easy as it some people make it out to be but I definitely have a new earn respect for anybody who does vinyl wrapping for a living but anyway the thing that's tricky about it when you're going over these curbs is that the vinyl is naturally going to want to start folding like you can see with this tape how the team starts to fold a little bit like that that's because the tape doesn't have any kind of elastic properties to it but with the vinyl the trick is as you're laying it to kind of massage it in the way that you want it to lay down so that's what's hard about it just give yourself plenty of time to work on it [Music] alright guys so I've got all of these front pieces done the only thing that's left just that bad corner that I talked about a little bit earlier in the video and so as I'm kind of going along you this is my first time really doing a vinyl project like this before and as I'm working I'm kind of picking up on some little tips and tricks so the first thing I would say before you even get started if you've never used vinyl before just peel yourself off a little piece like this and just play with it just like kind of stretch it kind of figure out how pliable it is the weather outside the temperatures gonna affect that a little bit it's about 85 degrees Fahrenheit right now so it's actually fairly flexible you can see I can kind of stretch it but that's the first thing it's just play with the vinyl and just see what the limitations are the next thing um these gloves really came in handy in fact I don't know that you could do this without the gloves your fingers are just too sticky on the vinyl to really smooth it out the way that you need to so definitely pick up the gloves if you're gonna do this project and then the last thing is as you're kind of unrolling the vinyl be very careful not to stretch it you just want to kind of lay it out as it's going along don't try to peel it or pull on it or anything because as soon as you pull on it it's gonna get wrinkles in it and it's going to be a huge pain in the butt so just be very careful as you're laying it down make sure it's nice and flat and yeah those are my three tips so far [Music] [Music] all right so I've got this whole side of the car completely wrapped everything is looking good the last step is just going to be to hit the whole thing with the heat gun and just make sure that we get that really good adhesion with the wrap sticking to the trim and so you just want to be extremely careful using this this does get hot enough to not only damage the vinyl but it could also potentially hurt the paint on the car so just be extremely careful or if you don't feel comfortable with this you can always use a hairdryer but I've got the heat gun so let's do it [Music] [Applause] [Music] all right well that's gonna wrap up this project and once again the links for the tools and the supplies for this are gonna be down in the description if you want to check them out on Amazon that really helps me out and I appreciate that or if you just want to buy the stuff from the store you know just do whatever is easiest for you but if you enjoyed this video you found it helpful maybe this inspired you to wrap your own window shame just give me a thumbs up and I will see you guys in the next video [Music]
