I saw on a Avrey catalog they offer brush aluminum. Does anyone know if I can use this for interior trims? Is it stretchable for those curvy interior trims? If avrey wouldn't work is there another company out there that sells something similar? This is what I'm trying to do

I have a customer asking me for clear vinyll? I thought about clear bra but then I read what he was trying to do and knew ppf wouldnt work. He is trying to sharpie his hood with an oil base sharpie and then have the vinyl cover it so it wont wash away or fade. So if I was to apply ppf it would wash off. Does clear vinyl exist and if so who makes it and where can I get it from. Whats it called? Thanks, -Sam

I go onto a couple of sign forums and on one, uksignboards, there is an article by 3m, in the article they state the C/F is suitable for wrapping bonnets, roofs, mirrors etc but the main supplier, Wm Smiths, they do not warranty the 3M C/F for vehicle wrapping. Anyone used it for wrapping and any good or bad stories. Bob

Training

Looking for a place to get formal training. Read through the entire forum and not really and specific places. Looking for a hands on training for 3 to 5 days. I have no need to learn the design part as I work for a company that designs them but no longer wants to install them. I know you are going to say why not have them train you but I want to go and learn from the true professionals as they have only installed a few and do not want to deal with it. Any feedback will be appreciated. Thanks Jeremy

Hey All, Well this is my first post here on the forums, so I might as well make it as decent as possible! I have been interested in doing PDR for about a year now and I have finally started getting things in place so that I can do a course in it within the next few months. I originally heard and gained interest with PDR as a I have a friend in England that makes an awful lot of money doing it. He has been doing it for about 4 years now and does very well, financially. I too am from the UK but I live in Los Angeles most of the year, therefore I am looking for a good course to do, (preferably a 1-on-1 course with someone who is respected and decent within the PDR indu…

Flat Blue or Flat Black Wrap - Tucson, AZ
by Guest kay9- 2 replies
- 1.7k views
Hi Folks, I have a 04 Dodge Ram Reg Cab (Atlantic Blue) and I am thinking of having it wrapped in flat/satin/matte black or blue. It will be single color with no graphics. I have only tried one place so far and was advise it could run 1700 or so dollars which sounds pretty good. That also list on thier site that they are the only Fellers Certified Wrap Provider in Southern Az Anyway I am not to sure on what I am asking here but I am wandering is flat colors are available out there instead of black? Also does 1700 sounds like a good price? Thank you kindly.

Stratos 70 on windshield, what is this?
Captain Obvious has two cents err senses to share: 1) The film should be removed and replaced, because it appears to have adhesive blemishes that shouldn't be there, and 2) The film should be reviewed/inspected once taken from the roll to avoid losing time and resources due to manufacturing issues. Little pieces not so much, but back glass and windscreen pieces ... definitely. -

Stratos 70 on windshield, what is this?
I can't win with getting tint decent on the windshield. I had 3M on my F150 done twice and still has major defects. Recently did Stratos twice on my F350 and I see this granular spotted, texture pattern on the tint. It's super obvious in the corner here but also right in my view when driving. It's honestly hard to point out and show someone but when your driving and stuff is moving behind the windshield, it becomes more obvious. The lighting also matters. The first time I did the windshield, I had a two foot line on the windshield. Thinking it was tint, they removed the tint and it was apparently a defect in the Ford windshield. An issue between the laminated glass layers caused this big defect. So they removed the tint, I had Ford replace the windshield on a 2024 F350 but when the tint shop removed the tint, they made a bunch of micro scratches in the front windshield, probably from scrapping the glue off. I told them but I didn't care since Ford was replacing the windshield anyways. So if basically I'm trying to figure out what this texture stuff is and if I should have them replace or remove it. Replacing it might just have different issues but also afraid they will scratch the windshield. -

Need some help
Never overlook the condition of the floor. Back when I did install, I used to mist the floor between the vehicle and the peel board. This is done between misting the window and walking toward the peel board to mist the pattern liner, peel liner and spray adhesive for install. Tacks any dust for the duration of each pattern install, so repeat each time a pattern is going to be installed.
