how to ? Diy exterior vinyl
I am assuming there is a thread somewhere on this forum with an amazing breakdown of how to vinyl the outside and also the inside of my 86, however when I search I see a million threads about vinyl so ill suck it up and ask. I want to know, for those who have already undertaken this project or are technically savvy, how much vinyl am I going to need to wrap the exterior of my car, obviously excluding the windows. I am going to get my vinyl from a site which sells the sheets in footlong increments. Ive read that due to subtle variations in vinyl it is best to buy all of it in 1 batch so that the quality of the print is uniform. Ballparking it I guessed that 48in x 120in would be more than enough. Am I far off? I need to make sure I buy a few feet of extra vinyl as this will be my first time ever using vinyl so I am sure I will need extra on the smaller pieces of the car in case I make mistakes.
moving on I also wanted to know if I am missing anything from my need to buy tools list before I get started. Solid quality heat gun Carport, maybe a garage if i can coax a friend or my parents into letting me use theirs plastic applicator to smooth out the vinyl itself clay bar and contamination remover fluid and a ton of patience from what ive read haha. I hope if you've worked with vinyl before especially on this car that you can help me out and provide me with any information I may have missed. Especially with the amount of vinyl I need. I reallly dont want to order too little, have to buy more and have the vinyl not perfectly the same color. enlighten me! thanks, brandon
