Looking good Luther, when are you doing mine

 

Well if I order some more Neffy I'll give ya a shout

 

Wrap is something I've never been able to master

 

Count me in too

 

Noted....

 

Someone's going to be busy

 

I like this idea my dash has a few marks/scratches, but I'm put off by the neffy as it's stuck on with adhesive right? n the 3M stuff is pricey, I bet u need a steady hand with the ole scalpel to

 

To be honest.... on flat surfaces the Neffy ain't all that bad. As long as the curves aren't too sharp, you can stretch the fabric around and behind the panels.

The best example is the interior light which is a rounded off rectangle. The real difficulty comes when you're trying to do 3D objects (like that central flip down visor).... a real pain in the @ss!

My wraps aren't perfect by any long shot but I'm very happy with whats been achieved so far. With practice I suppose I could perfect them even more.

The (limited) play I had with the 3M wrap suggested that its a lot more plasticky than the Neffy which is like a stretch fabric. The 3M wrap needs to be heated and stretched which then sets in place once cooled. The real issue for me was that the 3M stuff is just soooo much more expensive than the Neffy and if I screwed up while wrapping a piece it'd **** me right off. With the Neffy I'd just rip it off and start again.....
For external application though I'd defo use 3M. It just seems more durable.

Also, the adhesive used with the Neffy is '3M Super 77'..... you can order it from the Neffwrap.com website. After a wrap you do tend to get a little on top of the material which can be wiped away with a damp cloth. I suppose... in theory.... if you weren't happy with a wrap you could just rip it off and wipe off the adhesive with some elbow grease....

 

ditto that, got myself 6M of the stuff turn up today

From this:



to this:

 

Keen to see what that looks like fitted Mark!

 

not sure if i will fozzie, was just a test on a spare grille i have.

cant decide if it will look right

 

That's why I'm keen to see it!

 

This company is near me and I sub out many van wraps to them as its all they do and they do it very well!!!

cant recommend these guys enough, if you're a tight *** you will think them expensive but you wont get the same quality job else where for the same £££'s

 

just thought I'd let you all know, I have put up on ebay the 3M vinyl I have left over on the roll, total of 5M @ a price that extremely good if you compare to what others are offering at the same price!!!


HERE

 

I reckon you could make a few quid doing an exchange basis for those grills mark.

 

Hey Guys im new to the forum just noticed this thread, i have loads of carbon bits i've done myself with the 3M material, its a great product probably the best i've used to date, just wish they would release a wet/glossy look carbon soon! Anyway there's pictures of my handywork on my gallery Low & Wide More towards the bottom I've also just wrapped my Macbook too lol.

 

Not bad Dave...Not Bad...

 

Thanks Dude! was quite a challenge wrapping the boot being such a harsh angle was also worried how it would hold up with all the snow we had etc but its tough stuff!

 

Cheers Si

Retro racer im loving that mate. Im just about to try the boot myself. Any tips or problems you came across? Fancy helping

 

think i prefer the dry look stuff........

very tempted to do some bits on mine, carbon on white..............

 

cant go wrong

 

Same here mate

Dave - you know you need CJ to do you one of them splitters.....then wrap it in the carbon

If you don't do it soon i might beat you to it!!!

 

Already planned it Gary lol. Just waiting on Chris to get back to me.

Aiming to do boot and bonnet now. just need to swap my real carbon bonnet for a standard one. Much prefer the matte look

 

Well I gave up waiting for you lot to post your pictures and ended up in the wrong place at the wrong time.... or was it the right place at the right time and assisted covering the roof of an Evo 4

A bit of Carbon Wrapping for a change.. - Detailing World

Damn I have never come accross anything like this material in my life it really is quite something... it reacts to both heat and cold in such different ways, amazing stuff needless to say the back of my phone in now covered in it





Enjoy

 

Awesome Si

 

Its awesome the way it wraps around anything. bit of heat and away you go. Going to try and do my boot next month

 

My attempt,

 

nice work there

 

Oh nice work there Allan, did you manage to cover it all in one piece?
Goes really well against the WR Blue

 

does look good!!

any pics of the roof done.............
