This installation shows a vinyl wrap inlay on a grey Tesla Model 3. The video demonstrates how to place an inlay along the pillar body line to achieve a clean, professional finish across the panel.
Inlay Application Steps
The installer begins by laying knifeless tape directly over the body line. A small inlay piece is then positioned and tacked down on the line. With a little bit of heat and a flexible squeegee, the installer works the material into the hidden part of the inlay. Once the piece is seated, pull the knifeless tape and remove the excess film to complete the base edge.
Laying the Main Pillar Section
After setting the base, lay out the entire pillar vinyl piece. Cut the material along the opposite edge. To finish the panel, take the flexible squeegee and work the main pillar material directly over the inlay. This creates a clean overlap that looks consistent across the vehicle frame.
Aura Vinyl cast polymer hybrid wrap features a PET backing and German-made adhesive designed for smooth repositioning and pliable handling around vehicle body contours.
