DIYAH 3D Black Carbon Fiber Film Twill Weave Vinyl Sheet Roll Wrap DIY Decals (108" X 59" / 9 FT X 4.9 FT)

Just recieved my vinyl in the mail- already not real impressed.I ordered two rolls 24"x60".They came wrapped in yellow bubble wrapped envelope material.Upon opening, I found one piece wrapped around the other... the whole diameter of both pieces around 1-1/2" diameter.The center of the roll is about 1/4" to 1/2" diameter.This tells me that its wrapped too tightly, and the inner half or so of my roll is going to be totally unusable as it will have tight waves in it from being rolled so tight.Added photos. Being wrapped tight causes the roll to buckle when unrolled, as in the picture. So using it in my vinyl plotter is pointless.

5/5 STARS WITH ONLY ONE ISSUE AS EXPLAINED IN THE FOLLOWING REVIEW PLEASE NOTE THIS IS AN OPINIONATED PERSONAL STATEMENT REFLECTING SOLELY TO MY OWN EXPERIENCE WITH THIS PRODUCT AND WHY IT RECEIVED A 5 OUT OF 5 STAR RATING DESPITE HAVING ISSUES. REVIEW INCLUDES MY COMPREHENSIVE PRODUCT EVALUATION AND FINAL THOUGHTS AT END, HOPE THIS HELPS!I ordered the 10x5 foot roll.. the application was on the exterior surfaces of my 2020 Lexus RC F Track Edition. Upon unboxing I noticed there was a crease in the film assumably arising from where the film was folded during the storage process maybe the facts on that are unknown. Anyway after the final application(NOT PICTURED DUE TO THE PROMPT REMOVAL OF FILM TO MINIMIZE THE POSSIBILITY OF ANY VEHICLE PAINT/CLEAR COAT DAMAGE. IF FILM MUST BE REMOVED FROM FRAGILE PAINTED SURFACES POSSIBLE DANAGE SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASES THE LONGER THE FILM REMAINS ON APPLIED SURFACE) a thin every so slightly raised in elevation(not a bubble) highly visible from 5+ feet away showing a distinct line that ran lengthwise about 16-18 inches into the film I took a photo of the film crease prior to installation{IMAGE 2} I had a 2x3 foot section of film that I utilized on the interior console plastic on a 2019 Kia Stinger GT{IMAGE1}CATEGORY REVIEW USUNG 1=worst & 10=best• FLEX 9/10 - very good flexibility especially with a heat gun which does make the film have a more defined sheen/glossy look the longer the heat gun was directed onto the film. Shorter bursts of heat if in small, tight or hard to work with pieces I found a BIC lighter(USE EXTREME CAUTION) worked out better(personal opinion) while keeping the matte look/sheen I anticipated, just be careful not to melt a hole in the film if you employ this technique!• ADHESION 10/10 super impressive by that I mean the film by far surpassed my expectations with the adhesion strength of the film so no worries there the film is definitely gonna stay put for a good long time!• FILM 10/10 with the exclusion of my aforementioned issue the film was excellent in quality. Film was appropriate in thickness and the pattern was evenly distributed and uniformed. No complaints otherwise• COST 10/10 Exceptional quality for the price tag! No complaints and shipping was free!• PACKAGING 8/10 Package arrived well before the anticipated date by like 5 days so no complaints when it comes to shipping speed. Box was in perfect condition and it was very durable, the only thing that would definitely made this category hit 10/10 was to have been to add protection to the roll as it was just loose inside the box so about 7 inches was unusable due to scratches on exposed film during package transit. Perhaps a solution to that would be to place the roll of film in a protective plastic sleeve & securing roll to the box prior to sending item to recipient?• EXPERIENCE REQUIRED it’s recommended that you should have some type of previous experience in film applications or at minimum a quick read up about flex film applications or a instructional google search to have some sort of basic idea of the application process and what to expect and which tools/supplies that are necessary for correct installation of film. There are some good instructional videos that can be found on YouTube for those who need it. A good 20-30 minutes of research on the topic is advisable. After that anyone having a minimal experience in the field could most definitely apply the film with quality end results skipping the expense of paying for a professional to do it.FINAL EVALUATION SCORE 9/10Hope this helps. I will be purchasing their 5D film 10x5 foot later in the month will leave a review of that too with a layout similar to this one and I will be purchasing more of this film as well even tho I had a problem I always give a product a second chance so be on the lookout for a second review most likely after the start of the new year. Happy Halloween to all! Have a great rest of the year!Written by DVS on October 20th 2019 2230 GMTFounder & CEOJH Business Services, LLCOctober 20th 2019 2245 EDTCharlotte NC, USA#TwinkStar® #BirdLife2017 #JHBSLLCNOTICE: TwinkStar®(hereinafter the “Mark”) is a registered trademark of JH Business Services, LLC (hereinafter the “Company”) and is protected by copyright.

One side of the sheet was very brittle. The adhesive was too strong. I tried to wrap my hood but failed because the vinyl broke. While I was working with the film I was apply medium pressure to the center of the sheet and using a heat gun to help the vinyl to form to the hood. My hand broke through the vinyl right in the middle of the sheet. I inspected the hole and to me it looked like the vinyl shattered. I think that the piece I received was very old. The vinyl pulled off two pieces of paint, about the size of a quarter, when I tried to remove the vinyl from the half of the hood that I finished before I put the hole in the middle of the sheet. I should have stopped early in the wrapping process when I realized that the adhesive was too strong.

I been using this on little details and trims, gascap, under the fog lights, around my exhaust pipe in the car emblem's cut out areas. Its been holding up really well, had it on about 9 months, wash my car weekly, it looks brand new no sun fade, no nicks, its staying stuck on and not peeling anywhere. It cut well with knife-less tape. I have ordered a few of these $15 5ft by 1ft roles both on amazon and another places, like I said Im just doing little trims and details not full wraps and all 3 rolls worked great. No issues with any of them. I would recommend to anyone trying to achieve a carbon fiber look. I also use this stuff to wrap all my bic lighters and even wrapped a gun silencer/suppressor with it and its holding up. Works great on almost all smooth surfaces not just cars.

This vinyl gets 5 stars for adhesion.Why? Because it is quite possibly the "stickiest" wrap I've used, in the worst way.First off, I have used many different brands of vinyl on many different difficult projects. This vinyl shrunk horribly after installation. The surface was prepped properly, the area was wrapped easily, everything was pinned properly, trimmed, and post heated. 3 days later the vinyl shrunk in the sun on a 75 degree day. The adhesive did not simply "detach" from it's anchor points, the entire piece shrunk despite the fact that it was barely stretched. I removed the vinyl, and considered it a wash. Upon removal of this vinyl I found a few pleasant surprises.1. The amount of globs of adhesive left over was unlike any I have seen before. This vinyl does NOT come off clean, or anywhere near it.2. This vinyl, unlike ANY I have ever used before was sticky enough to actually ruin the paint on my bike's gas tank. This vinyl took paint off in 3 sections of my gas tank. I would not recommend this to anybody. As you can see in the photo, this very clearly left a thick coat of adhesive on the surface, and took paint off with it.

I'm not a professional but for the first time installer I'm very happy easy to use

great price, good looking durable product and very easy and very forgivable to work with and apply. so far ive only applied on interior of nissan suv, applied to an old cracked vinyl dash that i repaired surface wise. and also used it on bezels for gauge cluster panel , electic window and air vent bezels. only used a flexible plastic putty knife , regular home hairdryer, and occasionaly where needed walmart contact glue on underside non visible overlap vinyl on plastic bezel pieces
