My 96 Newell Coach Has Paint Checking...Quick Fix For 25 Years of Sun! (A Little Vinyl Never Hurt

What happens here

The presenter retrieves a roll of black 3M Wrap Film Series 1080 vinyl, which he has had for several years. He plans to measure the dimensions of the RV's front cap section he intends to cover. He explains that even with the vinyl, the underlying texture of the sun damage (checking) might still be visible up close, but it will be largely unnoticeable from a distance.

Goal: Prepare the vinyl and measure the area to be wrapped.

you know the deal i've had this black vinyl for honestly probably like six years i think the tubes that i ordered in 2014. it's just been floating around i use random pieces here and there but this is all i got left i thought the sheet was a little bit longer but i should be okay to do it in like two pieces and if not i'll just order more but at the very least it will cover the messed up spot and keep it from getting worse so i'm going to measure all this and cut you know plan it out a little bit cut a couple pieces and get it on there i anticipate i'm probably gonna have to order more because on that that front part i want to do the front and then on the sides it'll kinda i'd like to cut it so it kind of roll up wraps up like with a curve instead of just being like just a straight line on the corner give it like a little bit of a design and i don't think i'm gonna have enough to do that this will be good for now that's all that matters so i got a really scientific way that i'm gonna measure this here i'm gonna show you something real quick all right so i need to go from here to just up over this at least for now and how i'm gonna do that is uh well see we got elbow right here wow it's as long as my arm how about that baylor you ready to go gap some hellcats
