ryan33hks Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Depends what plastics you want to wrap really on how much you'll need i suppose. No you wont need to clear lacquer it after. I haven't on any of the things i've wrapped anyway Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ali_legend Posted April 18, 2011 Author Share Posted April 18, 2011 Probably do the centre console, dial surround, ermm door handle bits and arm rest thing on the door, around the handbrake. lool not sure what else but the little interior plastics.? is it difficult to do.?

ep91face Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 I've wrapped a few bits recently, single gauge pod,both ashtrays, the interior door handle inserts and the clock, got all these done comfortably with 2 a4 sheets, once its heated up it stretches and moulds quite easily!

ryan33hks Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 The only advice i can give you is to degrease the plastics as much as you can, stick the wrap to it and use a heat gun carefully to mould the wrap around the plastic. It is a bit fiddly but take your time, buy tidy carbon wrap and you should be fine. I get mine from a mates mate who owns a graphics shop Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ryan33hks Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Ill ask my mate when he's back in work wednesday if you can have the guys phone number and he should be able to tell you how much you'll need etc then and you can speak to him about buying some if you like Quote Link to post Share on other sites
