Newbie Question About Wrapping Bumpers


Recommended Posts

Hey guys, I'm currently in the process of installing Suntek PPF on my 1994 Acura NSX, I'm going slowly and have spent the past few months working on it on and off, and now I completely understand the high prices on the installations.  Overall though I've mostly gotten the hang of it, but so far I've only done flat-ish panels.  I'm about to tackle the bumpers but before I risk ruining $50 worth of film on it I figured I'd ask your advice.  If you were doing a bulk install, how would you attempt this bumper?  My initial thoughts are as follows. (keep in mind the section that I'm wrapping here stops at that horizontal line where the quarter panel ends, I've already wrapped the parts below that)

1) Tack the film at one side.

2) Stretch it over the bumper and tack the other side.

3) Squeegee the lower (flat) face of the bumper.

4) Start squeegeeing the top curved section of the bumper at the sides and work my way towards the middle.

 

Do you think this could be done without having to do relief cuts around the curve where the lip sticks out?  If not what sort of cuts would you recommend for this?
