Does not make any sence for them to sell it with the vinly if it does not work

 

3M does make a Vinyl Adhesive Primer if thats what you bought. There again it's not meant to take care of bad paint. Adhesive Primer's sole purpose is maintain the integrity of the Vinyl's own backing glue when pulling wrap. It's stretched out very far and almost loses the glues surface tension for a good firm bite over tight corners and not meant to deal with bad paint at all. It's not a cure all but ask around at a local Vinyl shop. Won't help bad paint. You don't use Vinyl adhesive Primer for that. It'll also show thru the Vinyl in the shape of raised surface areas. It's used very sparingly by professionals only in areas it absolutely must be used, for that reason. Also it's 4X harder to pull the natural wrinkles out of Vinyl. It really sticks to the Vinyl

Truly, I wish you well unfortunately I just don't see this ending well for someone who hasn't done a wrap at least once

 

I plan on wet sanding the fogy part of the clear coat off the top leaving the paint true I have never used this product before but did work at G.M. for over 30 years two of them putting on vinyl tops on a moveing assembly line so I figured I would give it a try thanks for the well wishes and info

 

Well wetsanding with 1200 is better than nothing if you can remove any surface flaking as long as you don't cut right thru. Vinyl can and will rip the paint right off a car if the paint itself isn't firmly bonded to the body. That's why I made the remarks about 3M Adhesive primer. If you have bad paint nothing you put on top of it will help it from separating from the body to the paint. Just like painting a car. If you have a bad base you can't just cover it over and expect it to stay

A first timer can apply Vinyl wrap, it has a lot of saftey factors just try to be careful not to fold the backing over on itself. Small sections will pull back apart but if it's too large you pull the glue off; stretch it beyond repair or rip it.

Watch several video installs of how they start it. Very important, I mean where in relation to the car panel you're installing it on . Generally you start in the the middle and pull it while squeegeing bubbles and wrinkles out

A big tip is DON'T heat it right where you need to stretch the Vinyl over a corner or rounded area. Heat beyond the area of the section you actually want to stretch it out. Then it'll pull out safely and THEN you can work it with a felt squeegee and way less heat and safely move the wrap around .
Think ahead of time how and where you want to cut the Vinyl off to hide the edge and minimize lifting along a cut edge. Fold it over a panel wherevre possible
TBH Vinyl works best done by two people. One applying and stretching and one heating.
If you follow manufacturers basic do's and dont's it'll work fine

Good Luck
