Vinyl wrapped dash

First time vinyl wrapping anything and it came out pretty good

 

How hard do you feel it was a novice? I have never wrapped anything but I am also interested in doing something like this.

 

Looks great OP!!! Where did you got the vinyl and how much?

 

While it's not my style, that came out really clean and it looks good. Well done.

 

Maybe I'm OCD but I can see a lot of bubbles or warping from the bends in the wrap. Personally, I would have just got it hydrodipped. Wrapping is better for surfaces with less bends unless you're really good with a heat gun/knife.

 

Can hydrodipped be done by anyone? Is it as durable as vinyl?

 

They sell DIY hydrodip kits. Not sure how durable but I've seen people dip their rifles. I'm sure an interior trim piece that isn't brushed up against often by your leg or body should be fine. @MESO has his dipped in a similar pattern.

 

Interesting; I've been thinking of doing something similar.

 

I believe Meso is vinyl, looks killer too!!!

 

Dang that's tight! I was thinking about doing something similar... care to share the vinyl you used?

Thanks

 

I think your dashboard is set to a channel that you aren't subscribed to.




(Just kidding. Looks good, OP)

Not gonna lie i had my doubts that i could do it. And it didnt turn out perfect but if your patient and can figure out a trick with the heatgun. Plus someone else to hold the trim piece that helps alot

 

Exactly what I thought...

 

Looks good from a quick glance but after looking closer, the lines/bubbles/creases would drive me nuts. I wanted to do something like this but I know it wouldn't turn out good if I did it myself.

 

I just ordered it off Amazon i got a 5ftx1ft piece just incase i screwed it up and had to start over

 

No you’re right there are alot of bubbles and seams on it. It was my first time ever vinyl wrapping anything and i think it came out ok. I looked into hydro dipping the trim and yes its more expensive and i cant take it off in the future if i sell the truck or want to change it

 

Thanks OP!, but i can't find it on Amazon

 

Think you can tag me or mention me in his post so i can see his dash?? Idk how to get to his pictures

 

Thanks OP!
