Socal: Vinyl wrap shark fin help anyone?

rooringhusky · 05-02-2014, 03:11 PM

Can anyone help me out with this who has experience? I have enough vinyl already (3m 1080), but dont have the skills lol...

Thanks in advance!

daviddn · 05-02-2014, 03:52 PM

Go to rolotech, you can bring in your material and they will wrap the shark fin for you. Great place and great price, look them up on yelp. They wrapped my roof and fin.

I was really down

...But honestly I tried my best and spend a lot of time to make it happen but it didnt work out....It was hard to coordinate when all of us are in OC and the guy with the vinyl (which we were all relying on) was all the way in Glendale...I think I am locked down for the next two months unfortunately from June through end of July and wont really have time to meet with you guys even if it happens...Let me know I will try my best...IMHO if the group wasn't able to arrange a way to meet easily within a month+ then they weren't motivated enough to make it happen...

Hey, I was down too!! The issue was the warehouse!

kez25ez · 05-02-2014, 07:58 PM

I'm down to help you out for free

I finished this e93 full wrap in 3M blue metallic.

Just pm me

rooringhusky · 05-02-2014, 08:25 PM

Aw man wish I saw this earlier! I just dropped it off to Rolotech they are charging me $45 I figured its worth it...I tried it myself and didn't work out...

Next time I'll hit you up!

To the other guys I'm still down to do it too...hopefully it works out eventually!

Soooooo....I just got back from Rolotech to pic up the shark fin....Im actually really disappointed in the work....I thought it would turn out to be perfect/"professional" since I was going to spend $45 to get it wrapped...The outcome is pretty shitty lol and to be honest I think I could've done a better job myself as a novice vinyl wrapper...

Seanpatio and daviddn are your shark fins done in one piece or multiple pieces? Do they look better than the job they did on mine? Thanks in advance...

kez25ez · 05-06-2014, 09:23 PM

Goddamn. Hey bro my offer still stands and I do it in one piece.

Wow that is pretty bad, mine came out pretty good. Maybe they rushed yours cause they were busy. They do offer warranty on their work so I think you can get it fix. Mine was done in one piece I think, ill take pics tomorrow and show you some.

staplescenter · 05-06-2014, 09:57 PM

Wow sorry man but For 45 bucks, that is crap! There's probably someone on this forum who will do it for a six pack of bud light and better. I was just gonna ask if they do it one piece or more.

rooringhusky · 05-06-2014, 11:22 PM

Thanks for the responses guys...David@Rolotech told me they do it in multiple pieces bc if he doesnt he has issues with it lifting and bubbling later on...I'll figure it out

For now a forum member has stepped up to help..kez25 is a nice guy...So for anyone else who needs vinyl wrapping I suggest going through him to avoid this situation...Thanks again Kevin I won't be needing help now, but in the next month or so I will be in contact for a few other things

How much did they charge?

Seanpatio · 05-07-2014, 11:42 AM

Wow sorry to here about the experiance with rolotech. I have a friend that got his fin wrapped from a sepperate source, it was two pieces as well.

I could have shopped a better deal but Rolotech was cose by and is why i went that route. 1 payed 180 for gloss black window trim @ MellowD

daviddn · 05-07-2014, 12:29 PM

Here are some pics, mine came out pretty good lol.

Thanks again for the responses fellow e90posters...

Daviddn it looks like yours is done in multiple seams as well..Even though its a LOT cleaner than mine, I would honestly still not be happy with that quality of work up close....Lesson learned! Rolotech =

at least in my opinion

JoeyBananaz18 · 05-07-2014, 02:01 PM
