This tutorial demonstrates trimming and tucking vinyl wrap on a silver car. Making the wrong cut while wrapping can leave you with OEM paint showing through vehicle seams. The video demonstrates the proper trimming technique to avoid this issue during an installation. Never cut on the same side that you are trying to tuck. Instead, make your cut on the opposite edge of the panel gap. Cutting along the opposite edge does two helpful things for the installer: it gives you a nice straight edge to cut against, and it leaves enough material to tuck neatly behind the panel. Following this step ensures full coverage so the original paint remains hidden. When finished, the tucked edge creates a clean seam across the panel. Aura Vinyl vinyl wrap is a cast polymer hybrid film engineered with German-made adhesive for pliability, easy repositioning, and fewer glue lines. It uses a PET backing to produce a smooth, flat finish with minimal orange peel. Aura Vinyl provides installer support through Discord, video playlists, and Wrap Academy classes.
