This is probably going to sound stupid but ive been looking to wrap some parts in vinyl (hood, roof, possibly hatch, and other misc interior bits) but i cant seem to find any rolls that sound like there big enough to cover the big pieces, the biggest size i found was 48x60. is this big enough to cover the hood?
if anyone can point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated

Try sourcing out some product on Craigslist.

There is someone on here that sells nice vinyl (and big enough to cover large pieces), the gloss black is really cool IMO.

Try looking in the interior/exterior section, I cant remember his name but his thread is probably on the first page.

I've been working in the large format print industry for 4+ years now and rolls get no bigger than 60" wide for vinyl. They do however come in various widths below 60" and lengths as well.

Check out http://www.fellers.com/. They have a wide assortment of vinyl brands.

Happy modding!

These are the two that I would use:

3M 1080: just type in 3M vinyl into google, they have a bunch of good brand name stuff.

pros: they have a ton of colors and people will swear that they are the best brand to buy for automotive vinyl wrapping

Cons: Expensive.

Oracal 970 series: I have personally used the 970 series on my car and my friends/co-workers cars as well. IMO its the best bang for your buck.

Pros: Cheapest. uscutter.com has 60x75feet for 550$, whereas 3M is about 750$ for 50-60 feet.

cons: supposedly the vinyl comes off in pieces according to others, however when I removed from my tahoe it all came off in 1 piece.


And to answer your question, Yes, 60 inches is plenty enough to do your hood/roof/hatch. 60 inches was enough for me to do the tahoe hood so I assure you that you will be fine.

Also a tip for the newbies, Use lots of heat when applying (hair dryer, heat gun, or steamer if you have one available). And of course you will want some automotive adhesive to keep the corners from peeling (most people forget this)

edit: I would not advise buying vinyl off of craigslist or ebay. I have had friends experience lack of adhesive on their vinyl wraps when purchasing from individuals. My guess would be that they did not store the vinyl properly, or it had been sitting out for an awfully long time. And trust me, vinyl is not fun trying to apply when it does not stick
