kuszak Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 (edited) looking for any info or directions to other threads (I've read a lot but if anyone has come across a step-by-step guide that would be helpful) or a thread with tips on doing it with bumper on or off and that kind of thing i'd really appreciate it. Driving a 2008 edge lim. if anyone has done it what size roll do you recommend to do it in one piece? also, I'm totally new to any customizing or mods and just thought this would be a somewhat forgiving project because I imagine I'd screw it up once or twice but hopefully can just peel and redo with new vinyl I'd like to try it on my own only to save money but if anyone knows someone in the Northern NJ area that does vinyle work like this on the somewhat cheap <200? i'd be interested too.

Cellbine Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 Is there a reason you are going with vinyl instead of plasti-dip? Messing up and removing the vinyl to start again might be a tough process. I had my vinyl on for over 6 months before I took it off and it was pretty difficult and there was a lot of clean-up on the grill to do. IMO plasti-dip is much easier to install and cheaper. There is also a gloss option for plasti-dip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalaster88 Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 How does the plasti-dip hold up in the long run? Also did you do your wheels with the plasti-dip and how are those holding? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hd joe Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 Plastidip holds up extremely well once it's cured. I've had stripes on the cervinis ram air hood on my mustang for about a year and its going nowhere... Go for it! If you don't like it, let it dry and pull it off..

Hd joe is right, PD holds up very well. I have PD'ed everthing that is black on my Edge, wheels and grill. I have made a video tutorial on how to PD your wheels on the forum. Do a search for it and check it out. Even when I go through a car wash, the PD is not disturbed. It's also amazing protection durring winter against all the road salt and debris that might come your way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor_22 Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 The vinyl vehicle wraps are in trend from a long time and I personally prefer them over plastic dip. Have been using printed custom vinyl wrap on my vintage car from a couple of years and I must say that it is really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
