  • In this video I apply the second wrap to a 2022 Cadillac Escalade Sport Platinum. I show various techniques and tips on things you can do for a better result with your wrap project. Check out several other DIY Wraps on this channel!
    Correction This is a directional vinyl film - In the video I describe it a non-directional. This was an error. Directional film can have sometimes have a noticeable difference in appearance with opposing panels if not laid in the same general direction.
    I am using VViViD's Matte Metallic Military Green Ghost for this project: amzn.to/3ymsiMj

    I'm officially a fan of that wrap. I wasn't sure when it was just on the roll, but after seeing it on the car, it looks really good. Great job!

    Holy Cannoli Don !!!!! That Looks Phenomenal Man !!! That is a superb result. Nicely done sir. I want to wrap the dipped section of the hood on my 22 Trail Boss in gloss or matte black. What would you suggest on film ? I probably need about a 4’x4’ section or so.

    Don you seem to be a master at wrapping. Have you ever done an avalanche and the rear cladding? If not i would love to see you take that on. Id be happy to provide a doner vehicle ;)

    • @Donslife
      @Donslife  Před rokem +1

      If you’re cladding is the grey plastic I am thinking of, I feel like it is too rough/porous for vinyl to stick well. Bring it by and we’ll have a look 😜

    Wow looks great don. How much did you spend in total? if you don't mind.

    • @Donslife
      @Donslife  Před rokem

      Thanks 🙏🏻. The wrap material is worth $800 ish. Depends on sales and promos. The rest was my time.

  • @shanel9643
    @shanel9643 Před rokem +1

    Nice job!
    I have never done something like this but was wondering if you think the wrap would work on the plastics of an ATV or how it would hold up?

    • @Donslife
      @Donslife  Před rokem +1

      Smooth plastic is usually okay. Edges are where you have to be careful too. Usually the point of failure for most wraps

    @cookiesmom8398 Před 7 měsíci +1

    Great job! How much wrap would you use to complete the whole vehicle? I have a 2023 Escalade. The ppf I am looking at comes in approximately 5x50 ft rolls. Profilm diamond green. Thanks!

    • @Donslife
      @Donslife  Před 7 měsíci

      The roof will use quite a bit. My full size crew cab truck used 80ft. Two rolls should do it.
