How To Wrap A Car Hood?
Wrapping a hood with vinyl wrap is a great way to customize the look of your vehicle. Below are the steps to successfully wrapping a hood with vinyl:
-
Clean the hood surface: Make sure to thoroughly clean the surface before applying the vinyl so that there are no dirt particles stuck to it.
-
Mark where the vinyl will go: Position the vinyl sheet on the hood and mark where it needs to be cut, taking into account any contours or flares.
-
Cut the sheet to size: Using an X-Acto knife, carefully trim the vinyl sheet around the marked areas.
-
Peel the backing off: Run your hands over the back of the sheet to find loose spots, then peel the backing off carefully.
-
Spray the adhesive: Spray the contact adhesive all over the back of the sheet so it is evenly distributed.
-
Apply the sheet: Place the sheet onto the hood, making sure to smooth it out after it is in place.
-
Wrap it around the edges: Carefully wrap the sheet around the curves and sides of the hood, trimming away excess material as necessary.
-
Apply warm air to activate the adhesive: Heat up a hair dryer and move it along the edges of the sheet until they become firmly bonded to the hood's surface.
