Vinyl wraps/material for hood

[venomousr1993]

I know there was a member here that dealt with vinyl wrap and was trying to find him.  I got some slight scratches on the hood of my show/drag truck from a push broom being pulled across it.  I have tried everything to get these out and if anyone knows how particular I am...this is driving me nuts.  

I was thinking of doing a matte black vinyl wrap for the hood and was trying to find someone here to assist or point in the right direction.  I figured the wrap would be different and if I don't like it I can always remove it in the future.

Here is the truck.


Thanks.

Artful , He did my vinyl wrap on my front forks. He knows about viny wraps, I have seen him around MAD FB page. Tryin sending him a PM.

I've used vinyl wrap quite a bit, it's really simple to put on. Definitely a hell of a lot easier to do on a truck hood than on a set of forks!

You can order the vinyl from these guys...

The only things you'll need is a heat source, like a hair dryer if you don't have a heat gun, and a razor blade to clean things up. The vinyl from them is high quality and looks great!

I have only done it on track fairings....I am not going to test my skills on this truck.  I am fine with a buffer, but harsher abrasives and a DA can be tricky.  This is not a vehicle I want to learn on.

Fords usually have tons of orange peel, I can do it , just gotta check when i am not working.

This sounds like work for a Porter Cable, especially if you can't feel the scratches as you run your hand over them. I totally understand not wanting to learn on your truck and if you get your hands on a test piece, you can def hone the needed skillz to remove the scratches from the hood.

btw- nice truck

I want to wrap my car so bad due to street parking buffoons.

What's the truck running?

What's the truck running?

Been as fast as 10.85 / 127 mph 1/4 mile.  Runs consistent 11.011-11.017 on current setup.  Drive to track as it sits, make some suspension adjustments and air down the tires.  Essentially a true low 11 sec 4800lb street truck, tagged, insured, air, heat, pwr locks, doors, cat convertors,  mufflers, and DOT tires(MT ET Street radial 315/60/15 on 15x10.5 Bogarts )


It transfers off the front well and the rear suspension lifts the body driving the tires into the pavement...Tires wrinkle up well for 1.48 60 foots
