My experience with vinyl is only in the area of decal installation. This is my first attempt at wrapping trim pieces. I guess the same principles apply though. I watched a few videos this morning and the pros reposition the vinyl quite a bit while they're working with it. I need to keep that in mind. Yesterday, I was scared that if I removed and reapplied that I wouldn't get a good bond. I also tried not to stretch it as much as possible, but in the videos I watched, this didn't seem to be a concern. Oh well, I have enough to wrap it two more times if needed, so I might experiment with application techniques.

Sorry if I mislead you Jo, stretching is a huge part of it. It's your best friend and a heat gun can go a long way in helping accomish that.
What I had mentioned before was just being careful to not stretch it over the edge, then cut it. You want to avoid tension at the edge, but stretching throughout the middle is going to be wicked helpful.

No worries! This is a learning process for me. I'm just glad I bought as much material as I did.

Good to get a piece to play with.  See how it reacts to heat and surface stretch. Get a better feel for the material.  I have found that useful. 

Things just got a little more sinister...

New pictures have been added to the original post. The chrome has now been dipped or wrapped (depending on the piece) and the wheels and emblems have been dipped. Before doing all four wheels, I decided to do one from start to finish to make sure I liked the outcome. I initially sprayed glossifier over the final coat of dip, but upon installing the wheels, I accidentally marred one of the lug nut wells with my wrench. I stepped back, thought about it for a minute, and decided to hit that wheel again with straight dip and forget about the glossifier. This will make future touch ups much easier as the glossifier is difficult to apply in place. If applied to a vertical surface, it has a tendency to run. Overall, the anthracite gray has enough sheen for my liking, so the glossifier isn't missed. I took the car for a spin earlier this evening and already had someone compliment it.

Notes for others: I was able to dip four 20" wheels and four emblems with a little over one and a half cans of dip. I ordered the full extra gloss wheel kit, which included four cans of dip and two cans of glossifier. Since the anthracite gray is not available in stores, I like the idea of having a couple of extra cans on hand for future touch ups. If you go with one of the off-the-shelf colors, two cans should be adequate for your wheels.

Looks awesome.

Wow!!!
Love the new changes..

Hurray for plastidip! 

Thanks guys! I just have a few mods left on my list and the car will be "complete".

I know this thread is old...but your car looks great man.  Has given me some ideas for my black MKS.

Thanks man! I actually just traded the MKS in on a Jeep Wrangler last weekend. It was a fun car that turned a lot of heads and surprised quite a few on the street. Now I'm just hanging out on EPF to try to sell some of the goodies I removed from the car when it was traded.

Best of luck to you!
