VViViD® Satin Flat Matte Stealth Jet Black Vinyl Wrap Roll with Air Release Technology (6ft x 5ft (Hood, Roof or Trunk Wrap Kit))

It seems like VViViD is the way to go when buying vinyl. Its great if you have a small project or decal you're making and don't need anything fancy like 3M, Oracel, etc... So far I have used it on a front grill of my car and it has stood up to the weather in San Diego. Which is mainly a lot of sun lol, but also good in rain and car washes, so the adhesive is strong. Also made a small decal on the sides and those have more detail to them but also stay on when scrubbing the car during a wash.

Product arrived on time, yesterday in fact. I purchased this to cover the wood grain dash and chrome window trim on my BMW 335i that was purchased as a project car and is slowly sucking my soul from my body. Of course within an hour of having the vinyl in my possession, I began tearing my dash apart like an excited child unwrapping presents Christmas morn. The excitement of ridding my twin-turbo coke can of the "old-man's car wood dash" (mind you I'm 40 and bald - driving a BMW already gets me plenty of old man comments but the wood dash seemed to have certain disdain with me). The vinyl was great to work with. This was my first project with vinyl and I couldn't be happier with the end result...unless someone had done the work for me...for free. There is a bit of a learning curve involved, this required some adult refreshments, plenty of cigarettes and some Wu Tang pleasantly vibrating the floor in my house whilst figuring it out. If you don't own a heat gun before attempting working with vinyl, buy one. Not sure how well a hair dryer does because A.) I have a heat gun and B.) I don't have a hair dryer (refer to aforementioned bald statement) Tips from a guy who has never worked with vinyl: - Make sure you get a squeegee and use it, trust me your finger tips will thank you the next morning. When using the squeegee do not press too firmly, you will leave scratches on your vinyl. - Make relief cuts on the corners or concave or convex areas. This will eliminate trouble when you get to the corners. - Start with the vinyl adhesive side up and lay your trim pieces flat on the vinyl then work your way to the edges. - Once to the edge, leave 1/4 of vinyl to wrap around the edge, then again with the heat gun on the underside. Overall, I am extremely pleased with the outcome of this project and the material. In the event that your vinyl has a wrinkle, heat gun and stretch. Do not overheat as it will melt the vinyl. If you buy the matte finish, overheating and over stretching will remove the matte finish. Measure the area you wish to cover first and buy more than you need, you will make mistakes until you get the hang of application. I hope this helps your buying decision. Enjoy your sore fingertips.

Overall good product. Obviously you need skill/knowledge to apply the vinyl, but it is doable after viewing several videos. It does get better and easier the more you work with it. The only thing I was disappointed with was the shipping. The vinyl came rolled up inside a long skinny rectangles box. The box was bent in the middle causing the vinyl to get creases. In my opinion it should of been shipped in a tube. The creases were noticeable but with some heat applied to them I was able to remove 90% of them, but it caused more work for me. Instead of paying hundreds of dollars you can try to do it yourself.

First time using vinyl on a car wrap- just the hood actually. Watched a lot of how-to videos first. I was told that VViViD vinyl is thicker than others and it may very well be. Still, it's fairly easy to work with. I used it on the hood of my Hellcat which has several contours and recesses. The vinyl adheres very well, even when stretched into those recesses. That was 2 months ago. No problems with lifting over time either. The price on Amazon was the best I could find. Definitely recommend.

First time using and followed videos ha ha and when pulled backing off and it lay down it was a bear to pull up and align and use the squeegee tool to smooth out and got sharp creases so it looked like crap. Used a blow dryer to try and smooth out and it just stretched and ripped. So gave up and pulled off and it actually pulled some of the hood paint off and the rock chips I fixed with bondo all pulled out/off. What a mess so it all was trashed and I had to do a quick sand/paint/clearcoat. Never again - DYI guys its not easy like the videos!!!

The vinyl arrived quickly and the color was perfect. In my opinion the color looks even better in person. The only issue is that there was a huge crease through the center of the sheet and I'm not sure if that happened during shipping or if it was shipped like tha . The vinyl is very strong and with a heart gun and squeegee the crease came out with no issue. Five stars despite the crease because the quality of the vinyl is incredible

This product exceeded my expectations. My hood was hideous before, I wish I'd have taken a before photo. I rushed the application and it still came out pretty good. I recommend using a heat gun and really stretching it with another person and hitting it together in sections (left half then right half for example). And for this price, it can't be beat.

This is a great color and mat, but I really didn’t like the thickness. Every one of these wraps being sold don’t explain thickness. And some don’t have the thickness advertised. One of the rolls was ruined because of the way the directions explained how to shrink it didn’t work at all. I was disappointed.
