Vinyl Wrapping the Z!

OK. First things first ! You need right tools and I recommend to use 3M vinyl because 3M seems to have strong Adhesive and its pressure active so its easier to work with. Make sure you do it Dry.

There are few ways to finish your edges.

One is to use knifeless tape. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8r8R...e_gdata_player

Watch the video.

Second is to hand cut the edges with knife. This one is very tricky . you need to make sure Blade is not scooping the paint instead of cutting only vinyl!

Use nothing but olfa carbon blade. And make sure All edges are folded in and stays nice and smooth before cutting.

I will post the more process after I'm done with the BMW.
