VViViD Black Matte Car Wrap Vinyl Roll with Air Release 3MIL-VViViD8 1 5FT X 5FT

I used this stuff to wrap the front of a portable AC unit. All of the furniture in my basement is black or with a wood grain pattern so the white AC was really out of place, it was practically glowing. I should preface this review by mentioning that I have never wrapped anything before. A while back I considered wrapping my laptop but with the way I'm so particular about very small details I always felt like the wrapping process would drive me crazy and I would never be happy with the end result. This AC project didn't require nearly as much precision as wrapping a laptop so I was willing to give it a try. The end result was pretty good. I ended up with a few creases toward the bottom around the left hand edge but it's virtually impossible to see that. I was mainly concerned with getting the front of the unit a smooth matte black. Mission accomplished. This wrap was fairly easy to work with. I was able to pull it off and re-apply it over and over as I worked my way down from top to bottom. I didn't have a squeegee or whatever other tools you're supposed to use, instead applying it by hand all the way down. I didn't use any heat at all either. On the bottom I had about a half inch of fold under so I used some electrical tape to secure the bottom edge. I'm not sure how well it will hold up but since it will be inside I think it ought to be fine. If it starts peeling off I'll have plenty more to try it all again. Final notes: - Dimensions: I dunno what dimension is supposed to be 2 feet, but this roll was absolutely not 2 feet in either dimension. I haven't completely unfurled it but I'm assuming that's the 5 foot dimension. The roll I received is 3 feet tall. So I'm pretty sure I received a 3'x5' product. This worked out ok but I was counting on the 2' roll as I would have only had to cut out my piece in one direction rather than trim it in two directions. - Packing: the outer packaging was a sturdy cardboard box with some paper which offered ample protection during shipping. However, there were two very annoying pieces of tape used to keep it from unfurling in its packaging. This tape left a slight oily sheen on the matte surface which I didn't realize until after I had cut the piece to size and applied it. I was able to "buff out" the oily sheen with a dry rag.

I'm amazed at the durability of this stuff on the outside of a car. 1 year and still looks great and was easy to cut and apply. Read more

This wrap is one of the cheapest out there. Got enough for my jeep for less than $300. 3M 2080 would be double the price. Not the best for beginners because it’s thick, brittle, and pretty stiff material that requires a good amount of heat to work with. The adhesive isn’t the best, did a full post heat and post heated all the corners to seal, but some edges lifted after a couple of weeks. After the 2nd time post heating the edges that do stay but you practically have to melt the material to be sure it doesn’t move. All in all it’s the best price for decent quality just make sure you know what you’re doing. Finish does look great in the end but we’ll see how long it holds up compared to 3M 2080 and Avery sw900 Read more

I used this matte black wrap to cover up the piano black trim in my car's interior. If you can handle the wrapping and cutting process, the finished product looks perfect. It completely changed the look of the cabin and got rid of the glare and fingerprints that usually come with the stock gloss finish. The vinyl itself is high quality and has a nice texture to it. However, the installation was pretty challenging for me since I’m not an expert at wrapping. Getting it around the corners and making clean cuts takes a lot of patience and a steady hand. If you have the right tools and some experience, you’ll probably have a much easier time than I did. Overall, it’s a great way to mod your interior as long as you know what you’re getting into. It looks professional once it’s actually down, but the learning curve is real if you haven't done it before. It is definitely worth it to get rid of the factory plastic look. Read more

Good product but came damaged and wasn’t able to get a replacement Read more

The wrap is super easy to install because it doesn’t set until you apply heat. I bought a cheap heat gun and easily set it in place. Because it doesn’t set until you apply heat. It was easy to reposition so that it fit perfectly. It was much easier to use than other wraps. It made installing the wrap stress-free. Read more
