I'm thinking of wrapping all of my interior trim with either gunmetal or glossy black CF. Has anybody done this before? If so, can you answer a few questions?

1. Did you do it yourself or have a shop do it? If so, how much did they charge?

2. How long did it take? I'm pretty good with vinyl, so install shouldn't be difficult

3. How much material was needed?

4. Where did you buy it?

5. Did you use the cheap stuff or the expensive 3M? How did it hold up?

6. Pics!!!

Thanks guys

Thanks, I didn't find that with my search!

 

Took a couple hours as it was my first time with vinyl but it was fun.

 

Looks unbelievable!! How much material did you need for it all?

 

i want to say i went way big cause i wanted to wrap the door trim too and got extra just incase so i believe i went with a 2'x5'

from here
3M 1080 Vinyl Wrap - Black Carbon Fiber

 

Sweet, still under $40. I got quoted for $450 to do everything. Looks like it's gonna be a DIY. Thanks

 

This is Def a DIY pick up a heat gun and an exacto knife and you will be good

 

I too bought 5'x2' sheet of 3M 1080 and had enough material to make sure it all flowed in the same direction. I also primed everything with this stuff, , and used a heat gun

Was my first time wrapping anything and I'm quite happy with the way it came out. Actually, my goto guy at the tint shop I had install my BlueBat overlays saw it and complimented me so that was quite validating

 

Nice jobs guys!
When going w/ vinyl don't skimp on quality, you're not going to need much and spending $40 on quality 3m scotchprint is way better than saving $15 and having to do all that labor over again and spending the $40 on top of the cheap price you already payed.

 

Those pics all look nice, and I was thinking of doing something similar. Is the primer needed, or just a suggestion? Also, when you buy the 3M, does it come with instructions or will I have to google it?

 

Thanks for all the pics and info guys. I'm ordering tonight, I'm just deciding between a color now. I'm not sure if I should go CF or not.

 

Primer's not needed, at least IME, and will make the vinyl tougher to remove if you ever needed to. No instructions but here's my thread

Good to know newt. I didn't order primer because I felt that the adhesive is plenty strong. Thanks for confirming.
