Okay. I work at a hardware store in town and I know we don't have that product. you think there is anyway a paint store or like a Menards would have something like that?

 

I had to order it online.

 

Is it an absolute must or can I just sand the crap out of it before I lay it down?

 

Can you just sand it? Yes.

Will it last? Maybe, maybe not.

I've done small items without primer and the edges lift after a while.

I did my window switch panels and center console with primer and they've lasted without any issues.

 

e-bay

 

would I need the primer 94 for the outer door handles? anyone ever done the door handles on the outside?

 

I'm having trouble with the door handles. I can't get it to stretch far enough for the actual handle on the driver side piece. I ended up cutting small pieces and putting it over the bare spots in the corners but I found that it looks like crap. Can anyone give me any pointers?

 

Just saw this post. Is that your friend's ***** you're shifting with?

 

I finally understood what you guys were talking about with the primer 94 when I tried to install some of the di-noc this past weekend. Decided to order some today after wasting about a foot of the di-noc I ordered. Hopefully I'll get the primer before this weekend and I can try installing it again.

 

exactly why i didnt do the door handles. It curves and bend in too many places, i gave up after 2 tries...

 

Can I just pay you to do mine? i know im not good with this kind of stuff. Cash + wax your Z (:

 

I haven't done door handles before, but by the looks of them, you'll want to pull them off and completely disassemble them. Once you've got them to that point, it should be easy, especially once you're using primer.

Also, in my honest opinion, fake carbon on the exterior is pretty obvious. The interior is a different story since every almost car's interior has the fake leather texture on the plastics.

 

I should have clarified. I was talking about the interior door handles/trim pieces.

 

Oh. I did mine. The hardest part on those is the window switch indent. For that, I sliced the vinyl so that the sides of that space are not covered. Only the part that swoop straight down has the carbon print on it.

 

I just started doing vinyl for the first time. I didn't use any adhesive or w/e. It came out pretty decent and I learned a lot in the process. I can probably start doing them flawlessly now.






I also did the bar because the damn Z started peeling and it looked horrible. I don't know why the Z looks yellow in the picture (maybe because of the sun), but it's a very close match to my Le Mans Sunset exterior.



If anyone needs advise you are more than welcome to shoot me a PM.

 

I've done mine w/o any adhesive and it bubbles in the sun...looked flawless when installed then a week later I left it outside after washing it and these air bubbles everywhere...

 

I have had mine for about a week too and I just took some of those pictures today after it sat under over 100 degree weather for a few days.. It is still good. You have to make sure that you fold a good chunk of vinyl under w/e you are wrapping and also stretching it just a little seems to help imo.. I also used a heat gun and heated the edges that I tucked in very well to make sure it stuck on there lol. It really helped in my opinion. A hairdryer doesn't seem to cut it when you don't use an adhesive.

I got the cheapest heat gun from Lowes for like $25. I didn't want to order one online and wait for it. Thankfully it turned out to be perfect.

 

Yea I used a heat gun( harbor fright w/ coupon lol) and I made sure there was plenty of material left to tuck behind...ill take a few pics when I get home around 1930

 

I tried wrapping the silver pieces on the steering wheel. It probably wouldn't have been that difficult if I had a base but I have an enthusiast and there's buttons everywhere which makes it difficult when cutting and also when taking off the silver pieces because all the buttons and little screws fly everywhere. I decided against putting the wrap on after trying it and realizing my buttons only work half as good as they used to because of uninstalling them and then trying to reinstall them.
