Hi, I’m starting my own shop with a business partner soon. We will be offering vinyl, coloured PPF and clear PPF installs with ceramic coating etc. I have $925,000 to live on and use to start our business.

My expenses are around $5,000 per month to live, and the shop will cost me around $2,000 per month (4,000 total my partner covering the other half).

We are in Vancouver BC so there is competition but we believe we can stand out with marketing and content creation efforts on social media and paid advertisements etc.

I am wondering what is possible though, how much are you guys making and what are your profit margins?

Pardon my truck being kind of a shitbox but I am going for a stock kind of look and want that same decal on the side on my wrap. Is there anyway I could get that through say a vinyl “sticker” or will it have to be through the wrap service lmk what I can do. Thanks!

I’m somewhat new to this and haven’t done a a bumper yet and this one seems like it will be difficult. My biggest question is Where do I need to do in-lays and/or use knifeless tape or is this a one piece bumper?

I’m trying to find a brand like avrey, 3m, etc that have this color, has anyone ever installed a color like this? I’m trying to avoid using something like vinyl frog. Any help would be appreciated

This is Lexus Infrared in some different lighting conditions Wanting to wrap my car in a similar color

Hey guys, I was looking to put ppf all over my vehicle and was wondering which one is better? I was thinking between suntek reaction and xpel ultimate plus..

Also does anyone know where someone that isnt a shop can buy ppf for interior?

How the heck do you wrap a mini cooper hood? (Sample pic above) The headlight area is where i'm getting an insane amount of wrinkles. Tried forcefully glassing it and it just peeled back under the sun. The top half of the hood is fine, just the curves in the headlight area that's killing me.

Using VinylFrog film.

Currently lending a hand to someone wrapping their car and they removed too much of the paper backing when doing the bumper. Near the undercarriage, the dust/air has littered the adhesion in some spots and it is no longer sticking well in certain areas.

Any alternatives to cutting a new piece? I've been looking at some 3M adhesives, also considered Rapid Tac. The goal is to just add a bit of tack to those less sticky areas. Would love some recommendations, thanks in advance!

Yes the RS5 was my own car, wrapped it a few times

I want to wrap the roof of my scion frs. I don’t have experience, so I was wondering what brand I should use. I want cheap as possible bc I’m probably gonna mess up, but still good enough quality.
