Roof/Bumper 3M Carbon - installed
-
Here is the first install on a large surface. It went very well, there was a lot of technique learned and I think the future installs will be quicker (this was a 6 hour install), and have a better fit and finish (this is good, but I am extremely picky, and the bumper was not very cooperative.
Excuse my greasy fingerprints...this was before final cleansing, and I didn't get a picture before it was picked up all cleaned up. Also the foam lip and double sided tape gives this picture the look like the bottom is peeling, which it is not.

Does this stuff go on more like 3m clear bra or like a big decal?Neither. Clear bra is a wet application with a steamer. A big decal is not forgiving or stretchable without distorting. This is like nothing else you have dealt with, unless it was 3M DiNoc

Been meaning to stop and talk to you guys. Whats your thoughts on doing a trailer?Absolutely, it wouldn't be that bad for labor, as a flat surface would be cake. A large 2 car trailer would probably take 8 hours, including pulling the screws out and putting back in.

Very cool, nice looking work.Can you do a toilet seat? That would be pretty cool.
:icon_rr:
That's the kinda stuff I want people to bring in. Just please bring a new one, used toilet seats are $1200 to wrap, unused around $60

It would be for my trailer thats at your place, just the black sections.

and Props to Jason on doin excellent work, from over 5 feet it doesnt look like a vinyl at all.

I have a fiberglass piece for my dash, how thick is this stuff? How smooth does the surface need to be?It is a bit thicker than vinyl in original form. After heated up and stretched, it can become EXTREMELY thin...like thinner than paper and still hold original form without distorting the weave.

If it I have to seam it, there is a technique the can seam 2 pieces together with very minimal lines.... Stop into the shop and we will talk pricing.

is there any more information on how this will hold up to the sun and weather, and car washes, and things like that?3M does not have a rating for wear...I can only go off of what others in the nation have done, and I have yet to read ANYTHING online that said 'don't install it on XXXX' or 'it failed'....It is designed to be used indoor and outdoors, so I would assume 3M wouldn't put their name on something that is only designed to last a short amount of time, and if they put 'years' behind the life of the product, I wouldn't be scared.

This stuff would look bad ass on a 360, PS3 or a laptop.
I really like the flat finish as well, it kind of give a stealthy touch to whatever your putting it on.Sterling Archer: Oh my god! You killed a hooker!
Cyril Figgis: Call girl!
Sterling Archer: No Cyril! When they're dead they're just hookers!
