Noob's Guide to Car Wraps!

- Wrap vs. Paint, is now a common question every car enthusiast is faced with when choosing a new color. However, is wrapping really for you? Or are you better off with your factory finish? Here in this video, I'll discuss Everything A Beginner Needs to Know About Car Vinyl Wraps!
*Note*: This video DOESN'T TEACH WRAPPING, rather it explains the "Concept of Vinyl Wraps" to someone who literally has no idea what a car wrap is and how it compares to paint.
The Number one mistake I see beginners obsess over is the Finish!
Whether it's Gloss, Satin, Matte, or Metallic, none of that matters if the material and brand isn't reputable! Even more so, if the application wasn't well done, than it'll just peel off anyway!
Just like with buying cars, choosing a wrap color shouldn't be "Love at first sight". Considering how temporary Vinyl Wraps already are and also considering the few thousand you'll be spending on it, you'll definitely be disappointed if you got something that lasted way shorter than you expected!!
So please research material, then source a local shop reputable enough to install it. If you're wrapping your own car for the first time ever, buy some spare material. Expect to redo some pieces and expect your wrap to not be perfect the first time around and peel after just a short year. You'll get better over time and ultimately, the biggest takeaway from this experience is that Wrapping should not be evaluated as an EQUAL to paint because it simply is not!

@Makeno1021 I loved the '79 El Camino as a kid it was my favourite ute.

This video is perfect, with wraps becoming so prevalent, yet it’s hard to find all the info you want on them
No its very easy watch some ckwraps videos and your set thats all i did
You could say it nicely *wraps* up the topic

@@BladedAngel You know that your about section of the channel needs some rewording because you now have a TikTok account?
@@AlbertoArellano-Escalante disregard this comment I'm dumb
I blame the idiots that only came here for the list videos
As a professional vinly wrapper and ppf installer, I can say this is such a good video I might have to start showing my customers this. You hit on pretty much all of the FAQs and key talking points I go over.
Instead of wax for vinyl(especiallymatte and satin), we use 303 to keep up on it.
I tell my customers that the best reason to do a wrap is because you want a something that is a crazy color, pattern, or finish that is hard to paint. Otherwise, just be patient with picking out a car in the color that you actually want.
Man i dunno what is more important sleeping or bladed's video. It’s 3:50 at morning here.
Definetly Bladed.
Sleep is temporary, love for cars is eternal
I love the n00bs guide series.
Yes
We all Love it
Why not „noob“?
@@Nexipr because n00b is the real way to spell it. "Newb" or "noob" are not the real way. I assume you're not a gamer.
@@Ren_184 jesus christ i hope youre not this corny still
0:30 "Haha $35 anime decals" lol
Does bladed know that everyone starts doing a happy dance in there head when he uploads 🤔
Exept for the nerds that hate corvette
Probably
I have a full on dance party 🎉
yall r weird.
@@krishnadhaneep2296 yessir 🔥
I remember i used to wrap my toy cars as a child with matte black vinyl wrap
Sounds like an awesome way to practice finesse in the tiny details.
Also, Wraps used on cars can also be applied to furniture, so I'd suggest getting some cheap chairs of goodwill or just some old furniture you don't like the appearance in your place, and wrap it for practice , before doing your car.
definitely do more noob guides bc i’ve been into cars for 5 years and am still a noob to all this
It's nice that there's creative people in the car community who actually create their own ideas for their wraps
So my takeaway from this video is... If I was a bit keen on wraps before, now I am all against
Considering it being prone to damaging and peeling off, I'd rather have my car stripped to bare unibody and painted for 3x the price, and then be happy for 30 years without worries instead of 3 years with everyday stress about the wrap condition
I didn't know I needed a noob's guide on wraps until I did. Thanks Bladed.
Ok tbh yellow and blue color scheme like in the picture he showed us when the wrap in incomplete looks really cool
It’s 1 in the night but bladed is on let’s gooooo

Btw good morning 😃
Noob's guide videos were quite helpful actually. So thanks a lot!
7:26 ‘I tugged one off in the heat’ lmao 😂
Glad you seem to be uploading more frequently
FH4 “metallic” sparkly wrap has to be my favorite kind of wrap.
I use it on like 80% of my cars in the game.
so glad this series is back!
Aaaaaaa thank you for making more

@@BladedAngel lol
It's fascinating to me how in the US, and some other places you can actually change your cars colour relatively easily, with very minor hastle... In my country I basically have to get whole new papers, re-register the car and get a full technical just to change colour of my vehicle.
Rare EU cringe

Thank you! Im a amatuer car enthusiast with a 76 5.0 Chevy Nova and i love your vids!
Bladed I've been watching heaps of your videos lately and I'm really enjoying them. Thanks for not completely ignoring Holden. Most youtubers either ignore it or abscessed with Utes and its a bit of a pain. Love your vids keep up the great work
I can't believe I learned a lot about car wraps without mind overload. Subscribed
Wraps are cool and can give a build that extra hint of style, that's why I love em.
Great takeaway at the end, and it can also be applied to most car changes and mods: the cheapest you go the more time and effort you have to put into it yourself
Thank you, because yesterday i couldnt differ what is a super and a turbo charger, but then i watched all of the noob guides, so thank you
Can’t wait to see your car finished, also, you put a lot of German cars in there...
Does that mean you’ll get a German car lol?
I need a noobs guide to car paint now 😂😂
Thanks man this really helps since I was thinking about wrapping my E30
as someone who wants to go into the field of wrapping and opening my own wrap shop, this vid is amazing
I swear, i was just thinking about wrapping my s60
Welp, i guess the ikea wrap will be coming if its only for a year
yo you’ve grown so much since summer 2017 when i first subbed. i’m so hype for you lmao
I have watched a lot of wrap videos and a lot of this info was new to me.
Love your vids man keep up the good work
Yesss we needed this🔥🔥🔥
Thank you, I'm gonna use all of this info whenever I get my compact e36 :)
Re Zero wrap on S2000 looks cool
Gotta love the noob's guides man.
Really helpful and informative
Love all your vids!
Good luck on the weebvette! Oh yeah also you should make ab itashi miata😏
hello bladed... please do a video about de tomaso freaking pantera
Hey, thanks man for the series
I love the MSO 720S, it looks so nice and I have a 1/32 MSO 720S with orange
Dude I'm a big fan you helped my dad not to get a messed of car in the engine and thanks for the need for speed stuff ty
I’m pulling the old wrap off my 92 camaro and restoring it to the original paint color first car project loves breaking my wallet
Nice year! I have a 02 SS as well
@@bhcamaro2002 an ‘02 SS? Ohhh that’s beautiful. I have a 2010 Cobalt SS Turbo myself so I love all my SS brothers
@@alonelydilophosaurusjwa4346 nice! I ran a cobalt ss turbo back when mine was bolt ons only haha
I was literally searching up how to car wrap the instant you uploaded this
That would explain why I don’t see many wrapped cars here in Florida for the maintenance part
Ammo nyc and CK wraps make a appearance in a Bladed video! 👌
I would never wrap my car because I live in Florida I would just go for the paint job. Nice video. Very informative.
This advice was great I’m gonna wrap my c5 to look the same as yours
You had me in the first half ngl😂but the end helped cuz I will probably change my mind on it after 2 or 3 years and I live in Florida so thanks for the video
saw you heading down highway 124, vette looks and sounds amazing
4:29, white/light grey color cars fall into the same cathegory as what you mentioned previously. They will creep out some gaps around the foil.
7:24 that might be from the 2 pieces touching eachother and moving slightly, creating friction.
Best channel ever
Love your vids😎
I know I’m late but I still love your vids
7:24.

Ngl I was bout to wrap my car instead of repainting next week. Thanks!!
Thanks so much!
That torquois/purple 720s in the thumbnail is bussain
thx im learning more stuff from you then school
wish I would have known this a week ago. I did my first wrap job last week. It wasn't bad, but wasn't super good either.
I'm new-ish but that blue car of yours looks sick
Please note that everything is based on how well the wrap was installed. Someone who is good at wrapping can use the really cheap stuff and have it last for a very long time. That being said the quality of the vinyl itself is very important especially because most people are not pros.
As a side note I wrapped my car by my self for the first time over a year ago with the cheapest stuff on the market (cheetah wrap vinyl. $400 for a roll of 60ft). So far the wrap has held up for the most part. It certainly has pealing up in some areas but that is because of instal error such as not cleaning the part I’m wrapping. However I want to say that I did a matte purple and I have washed it many times and I love it because it’s easier for me to wash. I just use a wash mit and have never pealed it or damaged it and I don’t have any micro scratches. Note I live in Utah being somewhere else will have different effects. Also my car is outside 100% of the time and has been taken on multiple road trips.
Honestly I did vinyl because my paint was crap and I didn’t want to pay for a paint job and vinyl is way less maintenance
Have you done a noobs guide on body types for cars?
Wow a lot i ddint know and i live in Texas so thats good i watched this
another thing could be that if your thinking of painting but not sure how itd look, wrap to try it out and then save up for a complete paint job
Thanks I learned that wraps are supposed to be to experiment with new colors and to have fun with it, not to commit to an entirely new change!
This convinced me to stick with a paint job
I thought I was gonna learn how to do it! But good vid!
1- 2 videos in a week? NOICE.
2- Now i get that in Monterrey (Mexico) getting a well designed wrap will be a pain in the ass. Monterrey is well known for having weird weather characteristics, sometimes is just unpredictable, so wrapped cars surely have a hard life.
I've been watching for this vid for a while
I love your style rich nice cool
The orange peel is on the vinyl itself if u look at the roll. I’ve sanded panels up to 3000 cross sanding and still had orange peel when vinyl applied .
You can wrap over primer and sanded paint if you know what you’re doing. Check out paradox the wrapper. Ive even wrapped my 94 civic all sanded down and its holding up real nice and glossy.
enjoyed it
For me wrap is only for new cars as to not damage the paint.
Paint is for cars that had their years.
If a wrap job cost more then a paint job then just stick with paint, it'll come out better and won't peal overtime.
Now if you are looking for a color for a project car and just don't like the look of your car while it's still being worked on or just sitting then wrap is a good option while you still think about what color you want.
For me I had bought a 240sx and decided to wrap it pearl white myself till I decide what color I'll be painting it.
Thx bladed! My wife is thinking about rapping her car but I think you just answered the 1 million dollar question. Care & how long term is it. Thx bro
Thanks for the video. Guess I´ll just get a touchup pen and save the money for a new paintjob
Quick question: what if I want a complex design (think NFS) but don’t want a wrap?
Spend more money for a paint job
Yo just found your channel today and love it. One question tho I just turned 16 and I have saved up some money from stocks and I’m thinking about buying a hellcat but I want some other peoples views
Thought bout getting my car wrapped and got some pretty good quotes from some shops in kennesaw best one I got was for $2600.
This is great news because I live in Maine
I'm not in to the mods that u did to ur corvette but idc and I really respect u for going against people's opinions and going for what u like
I’m going to be making a track/touge car soon, what should I do for that? I know there are going to be a lot of rock chips and all of that from stuff coming off the road, so what would be better for me? A wrap or just paint? because if I paint I can just get a new bumper or just sand it and then repaint, but with wrap I have to go to the wrap shop and get more and do all that over again, I’m not sure.
Hey, you're close to 500,000 subscribers.
Thank you cause I'mma look for a black 350z
As a former Indiana citizen, I can relate about the cold dry weather
I so so so sooo want a dark blue satin wrap on my first car
When will your car be ready? can't wait
Another reason to get a wrap could be if you plan on changing the colour of your car but don’t know how it will grow on you and want a “trial period” of that colour
Ok but bladed, when’s the guide to Headlights, and Taped headlights (the best ones)
i remember watching this guys channel a few years back. just stumbled on it again sad to see its kinda died off in views tbh
Nice
The original thumbnail was an Audi...
BTW love your car. Can't wait for the finished product. And please take it to the track. You need to break the image of ricers and show even ricers can love performance.
Yep
I LOVE YOU BLADED ANGEL
