This tutorial demonstrates applying vinyl wrap to a curved black vehicle pillar. The video shows an installer wrapping an A-pillar using a straight cut strip of vinyl film.
Pillar Wrapping Technique
To curve the straight piece cleanly around the pillar, apply a small amount of heat to soften the material. Twist and roll the vinyl directly onto the pillar surface so it follows the curve. If wrinkles form along the borders, pick up the film and apply heat to smooth the edges out. Repeat this twist and roll method down the entire pillar until reaching the bottom. If any wrinkles develop during the install, lift the section and apply heat to make the film shrink back flat.
Film Characteristics
Aura Vinyl wrap provides a cast polymer hybrid film constructed with German-made adhesive for easy repositioning and fewer glue lines. The PET-backed finish gives the vinyl a smooth appearance with minimal orange peel during detailed body installations.
