After a couple weeks, I can say that this was one of the worst purchases I ever made. The color faded from a blue to silver. Thankfully I was able to get my money back but my times wasnt recovered. Check out my review if you are considering vvivid wrap.

Well at least you got your money back. Did you get any pics when it was still blue?

Thanks for the heads up on the vinyl... The blue was looking pretty sharp for a minute.

Maybe after vvivid sees my video they will request it be removed by offering some sort of compensation. There were a couple pics in the video of the car in blue.

At least it happened with the cheap wrap. Hopefully you can get someone to help you next time. Why did you wrap some panels in two pieces? Didn't have enough material to redo it in one piece?

I actually just got some VVIVID in carbon to wrap the grey highlights on my nismo. My buddy who does wraps for a living said that their chrome stuff isn't great, but he likes using their stuff for curvier cars because it's easier to work with then 3M and not as soft of a product as the avery so it tends to have a longer life before it needs to be peeled. I'll let you all know how it goes.

Yeah wow, not only all the seams but all the waves, bumps, and coarse edge cuts.

3M, KPMF, Hexis, Avery, Oracal, and Arlon are the only brands I would consider.
And always use the proper tools and always buy the largest width rolls, yes you end up with a lot more waste but also a better end result with less seams everywhere. IMO if you want to have your car look like crap for cheap take it to MACO for their $500 paint service.

I am very happy you got your money back and I hope we can all learn that cheap almost never means good.

Because the chrome material has about 1/10 the stretch resistance of regular vinyl which makes it hard to apply to curves. You really need to know how to heat it properly and stretch it properly. If not done right, the color will cloud up where too much stretch was applied. If I had regular vinyl, I would have had no imperfections.

Lesson learned kids. Save up your money and buy quality material. Glad you got your money back but when it comes to cars, health, and food…never cheap out.
