Im thinking of wrapping my some pieces that will see weather, a thin narrow spoiler and maybe some taillights with this stuff, and using it for some amp racks. My question is if it will last outdoors?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...K%3AMEWAX%3AIT

How good would this stuff stick to the outside of the car, say a piece that was bodyfilled smooth, would it stick to bodyfiller and not lift around the edges?

If I make it curve over a slightly rounded surface, would I have to gluw ie down on teh backside of the piece to keep it stuck down?

 

Doubt it has any serious UV protection coating. Not sure how well it would stick, what parts are you trying to use it on?

 

The link states that it has a UV resistant coating. OP it's hard to say how the adhesive will last outdoors.

Now this thread goes off on a tangent about fake CF. 3...2...1....GO!

 

Would worry more what it's backed with. Find out what type of adhesive it is backed with.

3M#468 or thicker would be best.

 

They still havent replied to my first question about shipping 2 days ago, and I need a product quick.

Im making a set of custom taillights for my daily driver (non honda) and want to use it for the area of the tails that wont have the 9" strip leds.

I figure I may be able to stretch the vinyl around to the backside of the tails and gorilla tape it down in place, or an epoxy... but id prefer if it just stuck on its own, and last and looked good after going throug 18 rain storms and some snow and ice freezing on it

 

any experience with it anyone?

 

I wrap everything in fake carbon fiber.

It's almost like a real performance part.

 

not sure about those but theres shops that will wrap body panels with it.
i think they use a 3m brand they said it last like 5 years or so i dont remember exactly. but they said they do require more care then regular vinal.

 

I use alot of Oracal vinyls. Im 99% sure the have a cf vinyl. Never used it, but never have had a problem with any of their other kinds of vinyls

 

Forget fake carbon fiber.. You should get one Lambo door. It will make you look super fast.

 

Ya I can only afford to do one lambo door anyways so thats a good idea

ANy experience on this stuff?

 

some guy vinyl-ed his car and it came out cleaaan

 

Fake carbon fiber condom? For better performance?

 

**** that. I'd use fake CF. You wouldn't be able to feel **** through real CF.

 

I only use real carbon fibre parts on my *****.

I need them to be light weight, for added speed and handling.

 

I have a lot of experience with vinyl and stuff and all I can say is don't do it! imagine removing the stuff after it's been baked on, dried, and cracked. If it sounds like hell trying to remove that stuff, don't do it. Oh and another thing, I sell that stuff that you linked. It's a bitch trying to remove it even after a couple of days in the sun. Stuff is very tacky and rips apart when you try to remove it. Looks friggin cool though. You can wrap almost anything with it. The hard part is trying to keeps the weave nice and straight because the material is very stretchy and it'll distort. It's nothing like vinyl decal material. It's like a thin foam spandex type stuff. More like stretchy fabric than vinyl.

 

And would it last in the sun/rain and even snow??

Any pics of it in use?? Since you say you have exp with this specific brand

 

Had a friend wrap his zx9 fairings (sp?) with it. Took forever to get it to lay correctly. And didnt even last through the summer before it faded and cracked. Ended up having to pay a body shop to remove it and respray the bike.

 

I used some on the center console of my S2000 (to cover the aluminum). It does not like curves and you would need to use the adhesive from 3m for best results. I am sure it would last 5 Ohio summers, but not 1 in Florida.

 

From THIS seller??

 

?????

 

???

 

Your question has been answered multiple times.

It won't last for **** outdoors.

 

Not by anybody using this sellers product that I can see

 

Why don't you go and ask Appearance and Cosmetic?
