Review on πŸš— VViViD Epoxy High Gloss Carbon Fiber Automotive Vinyl Wrap: Ultimate Black, 1ft x 5ft by Julian Perkins

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not recommended for highly detailed/technical applications.

I do not recommend this product. It looks good at first glance, but I have two main problems: First, the material is too thick for high-tech applications (cutting with a lot of sharp corners and/or details). It does not fully settle into corners or around sharp curves, even after careful thermal massage and stretching. It is also too thick to be used on panels with tight switches and/or knobs as this will cause the switches to stick due to the reduced spacing. Stains that suddenly appeared overnight in the varnish of some of my work. I have no idea what caused this, why or how it happened as I made sure to thoroughly clean and prep all my parts and apply the film per manufacturer's recommendations. This is unacceptable and requires the film to be removed from all affected parts. On the plus side, the product works well and looks good on simple, flat surfaces that don't have a lot of detail, corners, or curves, although you just have to pray that dark spots don't show up. I actually ordered a second roll of this film as the first ran out before I could complete my Nissan 350Z, but having found dark spots and already disappointed with the incompatibility with many of the Z-Tech panels I decided to give this a go completely abandon film. I will be returning a new roll and removing the first one entirely from my machine. I'm just too picky about the fit and finish this product offers.

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • No performance
