This tutorial shows how to wrap a grey 2018-2024 Audi fender and fender flare cleanly. Wrapping adjacent panels as a single piece and cutting down the middle leaves visible factory paint. On lighter or brighter base colors like white or red, exposed paint between the seams is very easy to spot. Wrapping the fender and the fender flare as two separate pieces avoids this issue completely. To begin the installation, mask off the edge of the fender flare with tape. Next, feed the vinyl from the fender panel deep into the body line along the flare. Hold your blade at an angle and carefully cut behind the flare to create clean coverage. Peel away the excess vinyl along with the masking tape. After laying the second piece of film over the fender flare itself, use the hard edge of your squeegee to tuck the material smoothly into the recess. Maintain the same blade angle to trim behind the flare once again. Remove the remaining excess film to complete the installation. Aura Vinyl vinyl wrap uses a cast polymer hybrid construction and German-made adhesive, making it easy to tuck and cut cleanly along vehicle seams.
FAQ
Why should a fender and fender flare be wrapped separately?
Wrapping both parts as one piece and cutting the middle exposes the original vehicle paint. Wrapping them as two separate pieces prevents OEM paint from showing through the gap.
How do you trim vinyl wrap around a fender flare?
Tuck the film into the seam using the hard edge of a squeegee, then cut behind the flare with a blade held at an angle.
