3M 1080 Gloss Black Air-Release Vinyl Wrap Roll with Toolkit (1ft x 5ft)

I recently bought a used vehicle and didn't realize (it was in the evening) that the paint on the window pillars was severely sun damaged and extremely unattractive looking in the day light. I searched the web to see if I could find replacement pieces but the OEM parts for both sides of the vehicle came to a price tag of almost $500. So I started researching vinyl and how it works. I have never done anything like this before and the only vinyl I've used is the heat transfer stuff for the Cricut.I figured I could at least try and if it didn't work out, I'd just take it off my car. Well it's safe to say that I don't need to take it off. It turned out AMAZING!This vinyl is super easy to use. They give you the pieces you need to put it on, but you definitely need a razor blade to cut the excess off and I suggest finding a video on YouTube that explains the prepping process before and when applying the vinyl so that it sticks better. If you've never done it before.I did buy a heat gun just in case, but I didn't even need to use it.I am 110% satisfied with the outcome of the look. I can't say much for how it'll hold up in the sun or rain and snow, but for now it looks great. Super easy to use and saves you a ton of money!

I wrap professionally. 3M is my favorite of the big 3 brands and is an excellent quality product that sticks well and is thin enough to handle tiny contours. I purchased this because the other brand I bought first was too thick for tucking against a tight curve. It worked great for the chrome blackout job I just completed. It's especially good once you are comfortable with handling it and know what to do/not do. It's forgiving, but not foolproof. Buy extra. Practice first. Don't overstretch or overheat. Also keep in mind that this color of black is not the same as other brands. Each brand's shade of black is slightly different. This would only show if you are wrapping a seam or two parts that butt up to each other.

Bought this to wrap my door handles black and the end product looks professional. The vinyl was very easy to use and it was forgiving in the process. I was able to complete the job without any creases or rips. It responds great to heat to wrap around any weird edges you are working with!

My car has some clear coat burning on some of the plastic pieces of the car, and I thought it would be good to wrap the hood scoop so that the clear coat would be covered until I get to a point where I'm ready to repaint the car.The material was very easy to use and mold into all the odd shapes needed to wrap it. Using a heat gun allowed me to adjust it and help it to conform to some of the tighter areas. Pulling it up to adjust was also easy and allowed me to complete the full job in about an hour.The material has been on my car now for just over 3 months without any visible fading and I don't see any indication that the material is letting go. I will be using the to wrap another couple of plastic pieces on my car that are also dealing with clear-coat fading/burning.The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that the material is a bit thick making it harder to cut with knifeless tape. That was the only place I struggled with application, because it was necessary to wrap the scoop using two pieces.

Worked great.this was my first time using a wrap. I used it to wrap my pillars between my windows. But make sure you have all glue and any nicks in the paint removed and filled in. It will show exactly as the surface below it looks. I had some nicks in the paint I had done removing the old glue, and some left over glue I didn’t get off all the way. And they show very clearly through the wrap.

The is in fact 3M film despite the sticker holding it wrapped. I mainly chose this product because it was supposed to come with instructions tools. It was packaged well, but only had a roll of film. Luckily I had some extra spreaders and some sacrificial microfiber polishing rags to use for installation. The film itself seems ok and it arrived in a timely manner. It would just be nice if you could receive what was advertised.

What I expected. My skill using it was not what I had hoped though

Poor product. I was hoping to use this to wrap my front bumper. I was disappointed. It takes a lot of time to wrap. And to measure. Add this product was a failure. I Applied heat to get mold to grooves. After doing that, the wrap would not stick any more to the car part. The adhesion also was not very tachy.I bought the “exact” product from a professional wrapping company online. I had no issues wrapping my rear bumper. The adhesion stick. And my outcome was perfect. So I was excited to wrap my front bumper. I decided to go through Amazon because the shipping would have been faster. That was a mistake. I am certain it is not my technique. I had a little bit left from the role that I purchased from the wrap Company. I applied heat, and it stuck perfectly. Unfortunately I didn’t have enough Of the old product to finish the project. I will be re-purchasing this product through the professional wrap Company online not through Amazon. Waste of time with this product!!
