ikarus Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 I've had a play with this stuff. It's faily easy going on flat(ish) shapes but bl00dy difficult with big contour changes. Too much stretch in the material and you lose the lines in the pattern. I wrapped the door handle interior cups, mainly to match some custom audio fibreglass that i am wrapping also.. Very fiddly though, but with patience the results are great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtbiscuit Posted March 7, 2010 Author Share Posted March 7, 2010 ikarus, thats come out really well, what i did with the handle and wing mirror was just to have a play and see how easy it was to use, and i deliberately chose 2 difficult parts to wrap. i will be doing a few bits of the interior as the plastic has got scratched. main ones are going to be the switch handles and around the door handles and tweeters. if they go well i might order some more and do the centre dash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richt Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Door handles look great. How tough is the vinyl, will it scratch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted March 7, 2010 Author Share Posted March 7, 2010 Door handles look great. How tough is the vinyl, will it scratch? considering that most parts on the zed are painted, it should be better wearing. same as with paint thaough if you rub it against an abrasive surface like a brick wall it will mark. but it is thick, and when cold very stiff.

cookiemonster Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Vinyl is much tougher than the paint, it takes quite a bit of effort to scratch it properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 I love this stuff but agree, sharp angles etc are a nightmare. I've done a few bits in my Z to cover up scratched panels that were damaged inthe bodyshop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
