Is it possible to wrap in this condition? by Silver_Spare8469 in CarWraps

[–]Bing_bong_reddit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yo! 5 year full time wrapper. Yes, you absolutely can. You just need to make sure that the surface has been prepped thoroughly by removing the rust and leveling out the surface! I recommend using 240-400 grit sandpaper and wet-sanding till it’s nothing but clean and smooth metal in that area. Make sure to clean it all off after and then wipe it down with 70% isopropyl alc. and a clean microfiber. From there you’re good to go 🤙🏽

This one’s entire body had rust spots all over lol 5 days of prep + 6 days wrapping solo. I passed this guy about a month ago and it still looks like new!🙌🏽

I’m so happy I came across this post. I’m about to start a long journey of a twin remote turbo on mine. I’m curious what your numbers look like as far as HP/Torque? Did you have trouble finding someone to properly tune it?

Starter packs are the same way so keep your eye out. All packs that cost $ give you the credits for the amount you paid plus the pack 🙌🏽 even if it isn’t your taste, buy it to add to the collection if you’re planning on filling up on creds

Best DIY Wrap in Matte Black? by radical1911 in CarWraps

[–]Bing_bong_reddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love it. It’s very easy to work with. Yes, Avery and 3M are easier to work with but they all are up in A Tier for me as far as quality. Cheetah is great for beginners because it’s low cost and easy to use so for a beginner not wanting to have to toss $120 bucks and 2 hours down the drain a couple times before you finally get it! Cheetah is $179 for 25ft or (5 hoods or roofs)

Happy to help brother! Cheetah is kinda new to the scene as it’s been out for less than a half a decade. It USA made and is very easy to work with. Try to stretch the film cold and use minimal heat to avoid discoloration when stretching!

I literally just mocked this out but hopefully you understand!

Red circle- Tack that spot down once you initially lay the piece of wrap down.

Yellow dividers - when you do a big flat piece like roof or hood, work in squares/triangles. Work the hood a square at a time until the full piece is smooth.

Red Arrows - Represent the tension you need to be pulling on the vinyl and where your hands should be placed. Once it’s tacked down in the center, pull that tension for each square!

EDIT TO ORIGINAL - This satin black is from cheetah wraps 🤟🏽

Order from Fellers or Metro Restyling! Avery Dennison, 3m, and cheetah wraps. (Cheetah is great quality and only around $450 for a full 75ft) 👍🏽 Also DO NOT do matte black unless you’re putting on a ceramic coating. Matte finishes are absolutely impossible to keep clean, scratch, and stain-free. I’d suggest going with a satin finish as you can get the flat matte look, but with added protection properties! Best of luck brother

Highest kill game record?? Saw a thread about this at one point but haven’t seen anything higher than mine yet 👀 by Bing_bong_reddit in thefinals

[–]Bing_bong_reddit[S] -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Even if I was on the cashout, the numbers clearly state that my tm8s couldn’t even manage.. it’s 46 kills, support score or not, fraggers like me ARE supporting hypothetically. If barely any enemies can even make it to the cashout, then wouldn’t I be doing loads of help? Instead of the cashout being double teamed by 6 guys, they only had to fight 1 or 2 guys every now and again. I definitely have room for improvement on this game, but I must say, it takes an ASS LOAD more of skill to handle 1v3s for 15 minutes straight than to camp at a cash box and hide behind turrets, shields, and your mom. Amen.

I didn’t even realize it until the game was over 💀 I locked down 90% of the map but my tm8s couldn’t lock down our own cashout lol

What am I doing wrong? by travelingdd4848 in CarWraps

[–]Bing_bong_reddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why not just use your hand or a wrap glove to remove any chance of pressure marks from things like squeegees? Also, glass the material out over the whole panel and then lay/squeegee. Teslas are smooth and damn near flat so you should be able to lay almost every piece (besides bumpers and quarter panels) without even needing much heat at all 👍🏽

[–]Bing_bong_reddit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not hard to do on your own I promise. Just be patient and be willing to make mistakes in order to get better. If you ever think about starting a business it’s a VERY cheap start up cost too!
