For a full wrap how much material is needed to have no seams besides in the rain traps on the roof. Looking for info from someone who's had experience with wrapping out Cars before if possible. But others are welcome to chime in as well

I had gotten a sample pack of 3M's 1080? or whatever their most expensive line is called and noticed it was fairly thin, but also was really easy to use without much heat. The only thing I'd have been concerned with is using a white vinyl on a car that wasn't white as it'd seem it'd just bleed through.

The only thing I'd have been concerned with is using a white vinyl on a car that wasn't white as it'd seem it'd just bleed through. Yeah my Celica is gloss black, So i was also worried about that, But the Vvivid is thick enough where even when stretched it won't bleed through at all. And also theres multiple layers of coloring with the space pearl due to the specialty finish. As for the 3m, i think because of its thickness, thats why streaks are apparent when you lift it up to reposition, it stretches out in that spot so the color changes to a lighter hue. |
