VViViD® XPO White Carbon Fiber Car Wrap Vinyl Roll with Air Release Technology (1ft x 5ft)

This was my first foray into automotive vinyl. This product seemed to be authentic and it behaved as expected based on the instructional videos I watched before ordering. The objective was to cover a couple of spots on my hood where the paint failed. I primed and sanded those areas smooth and applied the vinyl. I can barely see the grey primed areas through the film. I wish I couldn't, but the main objectives were to hide an eyesore and prevent further degradation to the metal. My wife helped me apply the vinyl by initially getting it placed correctly and holding loose vinyl off the hood and out of the way. I could have done it solo, but we knocked it out in less than an hour.

I am a PC DIY enthusiast. For years now, I have built custom PCs for family, friends, and myself. I like to put together clean builds, with with the minimum amount of clutter mixed with eye-catching, but practical aesthetics.This was the first time I decided to work with vinyl wrapping. Most PCs come with additional zip tie areas, cable pass-throughs and mounting areas, that allow for better cable management, but leaves little to aesthetics. Also, the more amount of holes, creates less pressure for cooling, as the air escapes from those openings.So my thoughts were that vinyl wrapping may help please both aesthetics and air flow. What I did here is that I wrapped several of the areas that have a lot of openings, primarily the back mounting areas of the PC case. To add the aesthetics, I even wrapped parts of the cooler's radiator, the graphics card backplate, and the back/logo areas of the fans.I was very pleased with both the look and cooling. The clean look is pleasing to the eye, but most importantly, my CPU temps dropped by several degrees.If I had one knock against the wrapping by VViViD is that the vinyl itself is very thin once it is removed from the nonstick paper, however, with some patience, and readjusting, it wasn't too bad. In fact, it is very easy to peel and restick the vinyl with no residue issues.In my case, I used a heat gun (found cheap here on Amazon), along with an old plastic card (old credit card or a store members card) to help stretch out and adhere the vinyl on certain areas of the graphics card's back plate. I also used other tools such as an Exacto knife, a metal ruler and a Fiskars circle cutter to cut the circular shapes for the fans. However, that is above what you need. You can cut the vinyl with something as simple as a box cutter or scissors.I am very happy with this product. I will be kicking off a DIY PC channel on Youtube and I plan to feature VViViDs vinyl for future builds.Hope this helped.

This is incredible. It's easy to work with tho you need to know that usually textured vinyls are stiffer than smoth ones. This is not the exception.The backing it's textured so if you know how to work a bit with vinyl you won't get air bubbles or wrinkles.You can see i wrapped a pair of logitech z625 (haven't finish them) and I was able to stretch the vinyl on the button cavities and it holds very well ( more than a15 days had passed) Also wrapped an SSD, and it loosk very nice.You only need to realize that vvivid vinyl has not pressure-activated adhesive but heat activated instead. So you need a heat gun to fully utilize this vinyl.I also wrapped a very tiny SATA power header and it has hold very well (more than 2 months now)Pros:Pure white (it's pure bright white which I love)Easy to work if you have the patience to work around it stiffnessVery Strechy once heatedVery strong adhesiveThe Pattern is lovelyCons:It is a little stiff at room temperatureSince it is very bright, the pattern can be a little difficult to see under certain circunstancesIt picks every single stain, again thanks to it's brightness.Can tear easily if you try to stretch while at room temperature (this is why I deducted 1 star)

This did not work for what I wanted to use it for, only because I had too many curves and openings. But for something more simple like a flat surface or slight curves it’s a great product. The durability is great but make sure you use heat to apply or else it will keep breaking and it will stay stiff not allowing you to manage it correctly.

I rarely leave reviews on Amazon, but I need to warn you about this product. Total garbage in my opinion. Looks nice on the roll, but does not stick! Nothing compared to 3m 1080 products. VIVID has little to no adhesive on the back, nothing but a waste of time and money. I'll never purchase again!

It looks nice and was applied without much effort. The indoor use of this worked for longer periods of time and still looks good. There were some exterior uses that stayed in shade but when brought out in the sun it broke down over a month.

Cheap and not as described but not really mad for the price and practice I got for it. Just dissapointed it was glossy like I was expecting.(My personal) Pro: bc it's thin material if you stretch it just right it easily shapes to hard curves that are hard to get around with thicker vynal.Con: Product is already very thin and gets even more Flimsy and hard to work with when it's heated up, can very easily rip.

I used this to wrap an ice hockey goalie mask. It was the first time I tried wrapping anything. My wrap job was obviously less than optimal. But still looked really good. The pattern was forgiving and my surface was nowhere near flat or flat-ish.I will be taking the wrap off and doing another application, now that I’m more comfortable.
