Looks good, too bad you're on the other side of the country. Though I wouldnt wrap anything on my blue car except maybe some interior pieces.

I love it, looks good!

I wonder what happens if you spray clear over the vinly

Did it when I wrapped my center console. Gives it more shine and just adds another layer of protection, especially cause I have stickers over the vinyl as well. I should of done more coats though. I saw a kid who did 15 coats and it looks awesome. I only did 4 I think lol

Good to know. Thanks. I'll give that a try.

Fuckin awesome! I was considering a VC wrap... but leaving the coil pack area natural (beadblasted) and cleared (airbrush). I know VC prep would be critical, but do you think the heat would cause it to peel up?

Yeah I don't think that much heat would be good for it. I wouldn't do it. It cost around 100 bucks to powder coat a VC. Why not just do that?
Here are 2 I had done

Thanks Tasty

Cause powercoating is sooo yesterday? LOL

Could i buy a strip off of you to try on my VC? Im thinking epoxy along the edges might keep it down... and the heat might then keep the vinyl taut.

I'll measure it when I get home and let you know how much it'll cost.

Roger that. Just LMK.

Looks like youre gonna need about 1 yard by 2 feet to have plenty of play room. I would just get a piece from here and use the excess for interior pieces.
It's 5' x 2'.

I always buy from them. They ship super fast. You'll have it in like 2 days. Good luck. Make sure you keep checking on it after you install it cuz I think it's gonna melt bro.

Sweet! Heck whats the worst... im out $40? lol I figure its worth a shot.

The top of my dash is perfect... no splits or fading, but i wouldnt mind doing the lower sections of the dashboard. The plastics are old and pretty costly to replace (if even available since its a 95 year model), and paint just wears. I have a heat gun (Wagner) and Xacto knives/blades, any other tools you use to fit around curved tight places?

TIA...

Just heat and patience
