Hi Jim! Great Technique!!!

Thank you! Great tip

nice work

Great 👌

When I started doing business in 2003, I used to do the installations that way, but it was a bit tricky when cut, is much riskier and longer process, then decided to remove the handles, mirrors and moldings they were easy to disassemble, in my experience it is better to take longer if the final work will be superior... but great job !!!

What about applying primer on concave area behind handle? Do we also need to post heat? In my opinion heat and stretching the film in such a small area would end popping up in a couple days. Please advice

Ok everyone that says just take out the handle...it’s one screw... pay attention please. We would never wrap a vehicle with the handles on if they come off with one screw. I would never do a color change with a handle on the car. Their are many good ways to wrap handles and this technique works perfectly in cases where you have to go over a handle or object that cant be removed. Like a partial commercial wrap that has limited pay and the door panel needs removing and glass dropped out in order to pull the handle. If you remove the handle for the same pay went it takes two or more extra hours total then congratulations! The 1/8” lap is no different than an inlay on a bumper! It’s right on the body line so reflections hide it better than any other option. Fingernails don’t hit it like a seam behind the handle. Also you don’t have to stretch as much to make a seam behind the handle so it’s more secure. The material around the handle is not stretched at all and it looks super clean especially in a busy commercial wrap.

Good job for a handles in wrap, would only do this if the handles can't be taken out though, otherwise its just lazy wrapping. Unfortunately this is how more and more full wraps are being done because many wrappers wont strip the cars of badges, handles lights and do it properly.

Jim,here in maco ga,i am asking can i just do my outside mirrors on my 1997 corvette? is this regular vinyl say decals are made from,or some special automotive type vinyl,been out work 40 months thus i am asking these question for a diy project,my car color is artic white...............if you ever need any type of video production assistance/editing my friends son graduated from ART INSTITUTE ATLANTA 2 yrs.............he was a camera man on the WALKING DEAD show for 6yrs not saying anything wrong with your vid at all,just throwing it out there.........BOL

What's the name if that green? Nice. TFS!

I think it's easier to disassemble the handles, but nice job

Why u not remove the handle?

I don't get why sometimes wrappers take out every element, like de door handle or lights and sometimes they just do it with everything on, without taking off the elements.

Fancy. Good trick if taking the handles out isn’t an option.

Why wouldnt you just remove the handle? Who wants a 1/8 inch overlap right beneath their door handle? Terrible technique. All the people saying its great know nothing about vinyl graphic installations and the correct way to apply it.

That's not funny, gresse pencil? You told me to use a Butchers knife....extra sharp. What kinda dope you on & can I have some Tinker Belle?

That's a terrible way to do that and you don't do a good job of showing how it's done.. 👎

What about handle lights and touch sensor to unlock?

I've watched three of your videos. They are informative, but I won't watch anymore. All of the music is annoying, distracting, and pointless.

Not good technique at all it's for short term.

Oh dear. Horrible corporate music. Make it stop!
