Vinyl Wrapped my Taco

Nice job!

 

Thanks for the response. I'm interested to something similar to the camo tan that the military vehicles have. Do you have a link to that Avery matte khaki?

 

LOVE IT

 

Is taking the truck back to stock possible? Does applying the vinyl mess up the paint?

 

No, the vinyl will not harm the paint. If you leave it on too long (depends on the specific vinyl, but usually 2-5 years is the life span), it can be a real pain in the ass to remove. If you had pre-existing paint issues, it is possible to tear some of the paint off with the vinyl, but that's only if the paint was getting ready to flake before you applied the vinyl.

 

^^ This. Worst case without underlying paint issues is your stuck peeling off dry-rotted vinyl. You will know when that starts as it cracks and gets almost powdery to touch.

 

Sooooooo awesome looking! Major props for knocking it out on your own!

 

looks great! nice work. what mod have you done to the front grill

 

edge it, he took the stock grill, cut out the Yota symbol then fiberglassed it back as you see.


OP how's the wrap holding up?

 

I started reading this thinking "Oh... god... this is going to look.... WTF? it looks great!" A bold move, young man, and you did a great job.

 

Damn. That looks amazing and impressive for being your first job. Even more impressive that you had the cajones to "practice" on your own NEW truck.

Very nice. The color wouldn't be MY choice, but it still looks badass.

 

im jelly bro

 

OP, hows the wrap holding up? Have you had it in any pin stripe situations yet?

 

hmm curious myself. I want a change on my trucks color too...well temporarily.

 

It's been shy over a year. How's it holding up? Have you tried to remove it?

 

Sold the truck a while ago..not sure.
I might wrap my 3rd gen..

 

There was another guy that wrapped his truck in a vinyl a while back you can maybe ask him about his experience. He had a rose black vinyl I believe. Looked awesome

 

Looks amazing!!! But.....



What size tires will work with that combo

 

This looks awesome!
I have a question, I just wrapped my hood and roof because a. my sun fade is getting out of hand and b. plastic dip sucks
but, the wrapping on my hood keeps bubbling and the indent down to the headlights (or the crease i don't know what to call it..) I take a heat gun and get the bubbles out and it lays smooth and looks like a finished product, then when i come back a few minutes later there are bubbles back there.
do you know what would be causing this?

it has been cold here in Reno, NV the past week so my only assumption is that its to cold for the vinyl to stay stuck?

 

I vinyl wrapped my bike..................



not really............OP truck came to mind when I found/bought this last year.
