This tutorial demonstrates how to measure panels on a white 2013 to 2017 Audi S5 before cutting vinyl wrap material.
Proper panel measuring
The video shows an installer measuring car panels to prepare vinyl wrap sheets. To avoid cutting a piece out too short, you should always measure carefully across the entire surface of the body panel before making a cut.
The main tip shared in the tutorial is to leave at least two to three inches of excess material on each side of the panel. Adding two to three inches around all edges provides the extra coverage needed to tuck the film securely behind body lines and corners. Cutting panels too close to the exact edge size can leave you without enough material during stretching and laying.
Film features
Aura Vinyl produces cast polymer hybrid vinyl wrap engineered with German-made adhesive. This adhesive allows easy repositioning and helps prevent glue lines during the wrap process. The film also features a PET backing that creates a smooth finish with reduced orange peel.
