you gunna atempt it yourself?

i did my roof on my 330 coupe bmw i had before the s3 gloss black, tip is on flat vinyl is to use a spray bottle and put some water and washing up liquid in it and lightly cover the bit you want to wrap, it alows it to be more monoverable.... the carbon was p*** easy as textured wrap has air channels in to allow bubbles to just push out, flat vinyl is abit more tricky!!

yes mate not a problem because when you squeege it it will all come out, because it has water and soap between the paint and the vinyl it kind of floats and when your running your squeege over it'l just fall on..!! DO NOT just use any old bank card etc tho as you will scratch the sh1t out of the gloss and might end up ripping it... get hold of a proper felt one there only about 2 quid off ebay.... dont really need it on carbon as like i said the vinyl is textured and has air channels underneath so you can do most of it apart from the edges with your fingers and a hair dryer, but flat is completely different it need squeegying to remove all water and get it sitting flat and stick correctly,


biggest rule dude!!!

TAKE YOU TIME....... if you snag it or rip it its finished and will look rubbish! its not gunna go off so you can take all day to get it rite :)
