So I picked up some matte dark grey vinyl to wrap my interior trim. The two pieces on the rear doors are done and look OK, not perfect though. The trouble I am having is on the curved areas, I have a heat gun which did help, but when I started on the small dash piece (left of steering wheel) it just was not happening, even with the heat. The vinyl gets all creased and not matter which way I pull when I lift up I just end up with creases somewhere else.

I guess I'm just looking for tips from those that have done it. Also, will the brand/type of vinyl I'm using make a big difference? It is pretty thin and stretchy when warmed up, but its some inexpensive stuff I got off amazon.

I use the 3M CF Fabric from PYSpeed and it was very easy to stretch over corners. No problem with creases. sorry cant help you on it

you have to heat and stretch, heat and stretch. It takes a ton of patience. Also, for larger parts I didn't pull all the paper backing off at once, I did it in small parts as I applied it.

Sorry but that is not the answer at all. Its taking your time pulling at a 45 degree angle until it is smooth then laying it down with a squeege, and work in triangle sections instead of tackling it all at once, work a corner from the start outward, break it up into 3 triangle sections and work left right center.

Quality vinyl makes a HUGE diffrence in how easy it goes down.

in addition to what he said ^, remember not to overheat and over stretch the vinyl.

Oh my bad, I didn't realize that I didn't know how to do it. I should definitely go back and redo all my trim with your method.
