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

So for anyone else wondering about this now or in the future who happen to find this thread: The absolute best vinyl for beginners at wrapping (at this moment) is vvivid. I picked up samples from a local place that keeps avery, 3m, and vvivid. I used 3m previously but noticed of course the streaking issue with a lot of their vinyls but it could be resolved with heat. Avery was a bit better but i couldn't figure out how to get that stuff for a reasonable price. Then i tried out vvivid... it was a bit thicker but very easy to reposition. best of all: No streaking! Streaks are what makes an amateur vinyl wrap look.. well, amateur. (of course bubbles, 'fingers', and seams will do the same as well)
The bubbles were non existent on such a small piece but even if there was bubbles, its easy to just lift and pull it a bit. i will be ordering directly through their website once i figure out how to order space pearl since there is no option for it at the moment unless ordered on amazon. Through their website, its about $320 for 50ft (about 16m i believe) so it should be more than enough for a big mistake or two. Though the price is without shipping. Ill have to contact them for a shipping quote and also on how to order space pearl. I may ask them if they would make a black pearl vinyl in the future as well in a semi gloss finish. |
