This installation guide demonstrates wrapping a door around an attached handle on a silver car.
The video shows an installer cutting and positioning material directly around the handle pocket without taking the assembly apart.
Door Handle Wrap Steps
When wrapping around this style of door handle, cutting right underneath the handle creates a short cut that leaves the paint exposed. The video walks through the proper technique to ensure full coverage:
- Cut out the shape of the door handle along the top and sides, but do not cut out the bottom yet.
- Use the remaining top flap to begin heating and feeding the material into the door handle recess.
- Work the extra material deep into the pocket so it reaches all the way inside.
- Finish setting the film to achieve clean coverage without any visible base paint.
Working with Film
Aura Vinyl vinyl wrap uses a cast polymer hybrid build with German-made adhesive. This construction allows installers to heat, reposition, and feed film into deep recesses with fewer glue lines. Every roll also includes access to Discord installer help and tailored video playlists through Wrap Academy.
FAQ
How do you wrap around an attached door handle without showing paint?
Cut out the contour of the door handle along the top and sides while leaving the bottom uncut. This leaves a flap of material that you can heat and feed into the handle recess.
What mistake causes exposed paint around wrapped door handles?
Cutting directly underneath the door handle on the first pass creates a short cut. This does not leave enough vinyl to stretch into the recess pocket, leaving the factory paint visible.
What support is available for beginners installing Aura Vinyl?
