DIY - Anyone ever wrap your automobile interior trim?
I'm going to do this - I have a little experience with a heat gun and shaping material that's similar in nature to this. Unfortunately my car has that awful cherry wood-grain paneling throughout the doors and dashboard - I'm planning on doing this soon. .....Anyone ever do this?

My carbon fiber hood is being painted currently at a collision center - so once I get her back - I'll do this. Seems pretty basic.

I'm also going to swap my engine start button to the red variety and as well as getting the red 'M' insert for the steering wheel - oh additionally I'm going to wrap my steering wheel trim.

Maybe try a matte clear. Test it on a small piece of vinyl and see if you like the finish. If you do, then i'd recommend clearing it to add further protection to the vinyl. Of course that means you'll need to prep the surface and lay the clear down evenly so it looks pro. It ads an extra degree of time and difficulty and ads more room for error, but it may be worth it.

Shrug. Never used it. Maybe it's good stuff. I don't know. I KNOW the 3M stuff is good. Very forgiving and sticks well.

Oh, and make sure your corners and grooves are stuck well and leave enough material to wrap around the back side.

For example, that hole where your power window switch goes may look good when you finished, but those areas have the tendency to peel back when the car is left in the parking lot sun. Try not to pull the vinyl too tight to help prevent that.

Gotcha.. I originally was going to do the glossy straight black non CF texture - but hear it is less forgiving regarding bubbling and shows more imperfections.

For sure - the guy in the video stressed that as well and show how to. So that's been noted. thanks

Yeah, same with paint. Gloss black is very unforgiving. Its high sheen makes small imperfections highly visible.

It's very, very important that you work in clean space. A little speck of sand or something gets on the sticky side of the vinyl and you might as well toss that piece of vinyl. Turn off any fans, clean your work station well. And again, make sure the panel you're laying it down is smooooth.

That Amazon link above says adhesive is required - I was under the impression most rolls were already sticky and ready to wrap. I'm now confused. ha!

I don't have the skill to do something like this but I will say one thing for sure, it looks like you really need a lot of patience and not be attempted to rush or else it could get messy.

Clear Coat - I.E. gloss - like an M4 roof, not dry carbon.

The console will be the largest challenge and will easily take most of the time.

Probably the wrong stuff then. The stuff i used has a sticky back. No adhesive or adhesive promoter needed.

You can also do a matte clear though, since matte is the finish you're after. If you put a gloss clear over matte vinyl...it'll be gloss. Ideally, the matte clear won't change the finish (you'll have to test it first of course) and it'll ad further UV protection to the vinyl.
