Hey guys, Im new here and to vehicular wrapping, I have done little items like the interior trim of cars and other random items, but nothing near a car.
long story short i want to wrap the entire car in black vinyl.
I have a few questions, how do you do the below surface areas like behind the door handle?

Do the majority of people wet the vinyl?
any tips?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Tom

And heres pic of the vehicle

hummm....okay, dumb question, why? Unless you were doing it in matte...I am not understanding why you would want to wrap an entire car...in a solid color....oracal sells solid color wrap vinyl, from blues to blacks....no we do not wet the wrap material...and as for your door handles, you might want to remove them and wrap them separately.

you may want to remove anything that sticks out exessivly like door handles, badges, mirrors. and sometimes window moldings. you don't want to make tons of cut marks on the vehicle. and by removing such item will minimize this kind of surface damage.

For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face:
now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
