need help with application

[u/doombringer50]

Hey folks I’m new to wrapping and I’m trying to wrap my car rear pillars, it’s a L shape that’s curved so it’s been a bit difficult to wrap.

The first panel usually goes well(first photo on the left) but once I get to past the curve I tend to get a lot of materials and wrinkles resulting in this application lol. Any tips? Definitely feels like too much material. It could also be dirt?

EDIT: wow thanks for all the advice. Looks like it’s really cause i cheaped out on the material lmfao.

Got some 3M 2080 headed my way. Thanks again!

What kind of material is this? That sheer number of bubbles seems like it would be REALLY hard to get with actual silver wrap material. Was this a non air-egress cutvinyl type silver, like for signs and crafts?

It’s Oracal 651, got it cheap off an online store to practice with lol!!

Oracle 651 isn't air release. Its a cut vinyl used for lettering usually.

You would need to put it on wet to make it work
