Looking for what I want to do for my next mod and I'm really considering giving vinyl wrapping a go on some interior trim pieces, center console, etc. I've got a 2007 C6 for reference. (I know the center console differs some from model/year I believe, correct me if I'm wrong) I've done some vinyl camo wraps on gun stocks and such in the past but thats about the extent of it. I watched several videos on YouTube and it looks to be pretty straight forward, but wanted to ask around for those of you that have actually done it. I think the trim pieces will be pretty easy but the center console will obviously be not so much the same story... please post some opinions, tips, pointers, and maybe some pictures if you go em!

How much material did you guys use and what all did you cover.. etc. I've read some threads where people had to do the center console 3 or 4 times before they got it right, does that entail scraping the whole piece into the trash and starting over or just pulling the sheet back off and reapplying? Trying to figure out how much material to buy, and want to make sure I order extra as I'm sure I'll mess up a few times...

As for brand/type I see 3m 1080, 3m di-noc, and 4D vinyl... any opinions on which?

And before anyone badgers me, I did search the forum a bunch and found some good threads. But always good to bring up some past thread for people who may have done it more recently and have some good pointers, etc.

Thanks in advance!

Not So Fast

Not to be critical but there is another thread about what a member used to wrap his, I would try to stay within the bounds of Corvette reasoning as his is not, sorry

I had my '06 wrapped by a guy who has wrapped interior pieces in the past and he had a very tough time doing my console (and couldn't get the pods on the speedo surround done at all). The console looks MUCH better with the carbon fiber wrap but he had to put a seam at the bottom left of it which I'm not super happy about.

UGHHHHH I don't know why it comes out sideways- can someone fix it???

I wrapped my 06 in DiNoc. It was a bear to do, looked great for a week until it got warm in the sun, then it curled. I finally just bought an 08 CF center console.

As a reference i am the one not so fast is speaking of about the wrap. The console was actually not hard at all and when done correctly the dic controls can be wrapped with out any issues. You just have to take your time and prep the hell out of it while using the right material. The irony of posting my own work is that I could care less if others like that design because the only reason I printed that is the material and print cost me nothing. It was only created so that I could see if I could do the console without over stretching the pattern or tearing it since it is such a complexed piece. Even carbon fiber can get over stretched and mess up the way the pattern looks of you are not careful. If you want any help with figuring out what you need and have to do please feel free to pm me and I will help you out in any way I can.

If it's vinyl wrap, contact Gatorwraps, they wrap all kinds of crazy things. You might also want to check Gatorprints.They have branches and installers located in just about every large city and they have lots of vinyls to choose from.

I have seen professionally wrapped interior pieces which look great. Since some of the pieces are small there is a level of skill that professional shops have. the center console should be no problem and not too expensive is you remove it and take it to the shop. Several members have gone the DYI route with good results. It just depends on your confidence.
