The type of wrapping should be chosen carefully according to your project.


If you want to install a total wrapping, don't hesitate to choose wrapping 3D. It's perfect for easy thermoforming. It will follow the curves of your vehicle

and make installation easier.


If you prefer a partialwrapping geometric finish on flat surfaces, go for wrapping 2D. This finish can be applied to smooth body surfaces such as roofs or hoods. It is less thermoformable, making it suitable for flat surfaces and wrapping details.

Installation steps wrapping

It's D-day! You hold in your hands the wrapping film of your dreams. Be patient, however, as certain steps are essential for an exceptional result.


A few precautions should be taken before starting:

  • Ideal application temperature: between +15°C and +25°C.
  • Lay away from dust and wind.
  • We recommend bringing the car in under cover the day before installation, to prevent the bodywork from getting cold.


The application of wrapping car or wrapping motorcycle requires perfect preparation of the bodywork.


1. Thoroughly clean the surface to be fitted and its contours with isopropyl alcohol. This product will thoroughly clean and degrease your vehicle without damaging it. Apply the isopropyl alcohol with a cloth, using circular movements.


2. Pre-cut your wrapping in the shapes you want. Be sure to leave several centimetres of margin.


3. Remove the protective liner, about ¼ of the way from wrapping.


4. Apply the adhesive directly to the surface


5. Gently unroll the rest of the protective liner so that all the wrapping film is in place.


Tip: During this stage, it's important to pull the film tightly to avoid wrinkles.


6. Use a thermal stripper on raised areas. This will thermoform the wrapping film to fit your vehicle perfectly.


7. Use a squeegee to smooth your wrapping from the center to the ends. This will remove all air bubbles.


8. Make finishing cuts with a cutter blade.


Tip: Use thermoforming to heat the film for perfect results!
