According to the VViViD website it's 5.5 mils thick, which is much thicker then the normal 3 mil of a gloss or matte vinyl I think most carbon fiber vinyls clock in at 3.5 to 4 mil. The first thing you'll notice is how thick the vinyl is. So they are not the ideal test platform for a new vinyl but at the same time, if it sticks to that it'll stick to anything.Īfter the proper prep stage and really treating the plastic well I started to apply the Tech Art.

I wanted to branch out and give something new a try, this Tech Art looked like it'd be great opportunity to do so. Mostly I work with 3M and Avery products with the occasional Oracal or Arlon. Just a little background on myself, I've been wrapping vehicles for 8 years.
