3M DI-NOC Car Interior Installation

[KingCreole214]

how did she not cut the dash with the exacto knife without tape underneath

[3mdinoc]

@KingCreole214 very carefully ;)

[04minicoopers]

Ridiculous how they don't remove the trim to do this.....

[3mdinoc]

@04minicoopers Installing DI-NOC can be done a myriad of ways, this video showing just one of them.

[04minicoopers]

@3mdinoc So, you're are saying that I don't need to remove the trim to wrap it correctly? I have a roll of 3m di noc that I ordered to wrap my interior trims with, such as gauge panels. I was planning on removing all the trims, but I'm having difficulty removing just one. Should I use this technique without removing the trim? I have the special primer for di noc, as well.

[3mdinoc]

@04minicoopers It's up to you, but technically, DI-NOC is so flexible (especially again, using a heat gun), you should be able to wrap just enough over a "joint" area, and then trim with your knife as close/best as possible. If you're sure to prime the edges, it should "seal" them down after heating. But if it's one of those things that will plain bother everytime you see it, then of course, pull everything out and bend and "wrap" the DI-NOC behind the trim(s).  It's up to individual taste.

Where can i find Di-Noc in Mexico? I need carbon fiber and aluminium finishes. Pleaseeee answer!!

[3mdinoc]

@sanpt7777 IDS (Interior Design Solutions) sells DI-NOC from the US, via UPS parcel transit only. You can contact Cameron Forte at 866-95-DINOC (please look at our profile for more information).

[zoltec88]

FK this chick gets down now ikno i can do this in my car yeahhhh

[vVeazel]

Where can we buy this in Canada?

[rvalente]

Hi. Where can I found this 3M in Vinyl Hood Effect? I can just find it in Carbon Fiber. thanks!

[3mdinoc]

@rvalente You can contact IDS at 866-953-4662. (866-95-DINOC)

Next time pls do it right and put on the vinyl AFTER getting the trim pieces out of the car. Worked out ok here, but if this is used as an instructional video many other people will probably mess it up. + you can fold the vinyl all the way around the edges, which will ensure you a very nice / even better finish. Nothing worse than a bit of plastic lurking out in a crack.

[3mdinoc]

@1gn1tus unless you have the skills to pull it off WITHOUT having to pull out your console. :) That is the point of the video. DINOC is stretchable and goes within creases and seams when heated and you can trim as desired.

[akaidabat]

hey I have a question. When we use the heat gun/ Hair Dryer what level of heat we use ? Highest ?

[3mdinoc]

@akaidabat no you definitely want to go with lowest. If you try your highest setting first, you risk damaging the DI-NOC (it's not fire retardant, and heat guns can melt glass or sometimes metal depending on what brand and power you use!). Always do a test sample on test surface to gauge how your heat gun will interact with the DI-NOC at various settings.

[akaidabat]

@3mdinoc Thank ^___^ 

[GDBeatz]

its just a demonstration...you could do it vice versa, get wooden interior covered in other colour etc.....

[krumpli1]

I guess it`s a great job!!

[zbarneyz]

This dont really work for me...I mean, a plastic sheet? That would get the value of the car down... Not really good looking ether.....

Want new interior? buy real interior...

[3mdinoc]

@zbarneyz 3M DI-NOC isn't a plastic sheet. It's a vinyl film that is heat shrinkable for contours and is already used in many automobiles (it was a staple on Ford Station wagons for many years).

[zbarneyz]

@3mdinoc Okay..Read the comment again and exchange Plastic Sheet with Vinyl Film.

[3mdinoc]

@zbarneyz what is "real" interior? Plywood?

[lcwindram]

@zbarneyz Hard to value the opinion of a guy for whom this "dont" work

[JuicyFruitFresh]

@zbarneyz You do know that many "wood trimmed" interiors on cars today pretty much come just like this from the factory.. the only real wood you'll find is on top end mercedes, lexus etc. And I think this looks a lot better than alot of those genuine wood dash kits that just stick on the face of the dash.

[jt3743]

she screwed big time lol

[3mdinoc]

@jt3743 how so?

[charles1matt]

Omg, at least pull the part off the dash and cover it right. The sun will have those raw edges peeling up in months or even weeks. =Fail

[3mdinoc]

@charles1matt car was done over a year ago and is doing just fine. That is the durability and adhesive of 3M DI-NOC.

[charles1matt]

@3mdinoc Great, but that shouldn't give you an accuse to cut corners. It only takes a minute or 2 to remove those parts. It would be alot easier too!!!!!!!!!!lol

[3mdinoc]

@charles1matt definitely appreciate the recommendation. Please let us know if and when you post a YouTube video installing DI-NOC in this method and we will be sure to share.

[janoxik]

ale kicz

[2812vin]

Its  a load of bollocks

[3mdinoc]

@2812vin Never Mind The Bollocks, It's the DI-NOC install :)

[gianvitops3]

è possibile avere questo tipo di prodotti in italia ?? grz dell'attenzione

[turbocarsport]

lo vendono in italia cerca bene un'amico mio lo applica sulle auto dei clienti pero non vuole assolutamente dirmi dove lo compra e pur troppo gli devo rompere il culo!!!!! ciao

[turbocarsport]

si lo vendono un'amico mio lo usa sulle auto dei clienti ma assolutamente non vuole dirmi dove lo compra e purtroppo gli devo rompere il culo ciao

[r3mark]

First of all: Why ruin a nice silver interior with a tacky brown nightmare? Secondly: Only a moron would apply vinyl to panels like this while they still are in the car! Imagine how this will look after a year or two when it starts to come loose where it's cut! I would make sure it wrapped around the back...

[3mdinoc]

@r3mark There's no account for taste r3mark, because what you prefer for decor may not be what another person prefers. Regarding this video, the installation you see is actually the installer's own personal car. So far none of it has come loose after roughly a year. 3M's Primer 94 promotes adhesion, and as long as you heat shrink your edges, there is no need to do any wrapping unless out of personal preference for visible aesthetics.

[r3mark]

Sure, peoples taste is different, no problem :)

It's just as you say, for getting a visible perfect finish I would never do what was done in the movie. You'll never get a perfect result by doing it in the car like that, and taking the moldings out of the car does not take that long if you know what you are doing. But sure, it's a good example of how easy it is to install :)

[3mdinoc]

you'd be surprised. The one thing I will concede is that this footage was shot with an older camera and so the resolution is not all that great to show the fine detail. But feel free to visit our other videos, including our newest refrigerator remodel or the Suzuki bearings refinish. You'll see that this is something that can pretty much be done by anybody with patience and skill.

[fyamin]

Can this be Clear Coated? like some other vinyl?

Or is there a overlaminate for it?

Whats the realistic life of it on the exterior?

Will clearcoat or overlaminate help extend it?

[3mdinoc]

@fyamin It's not recommended to use a clear coat, though you may wish to try for your own personal taste (ie, it can't do any harm except change the "look" of the DI-NOC). The realistic life in exterior conditions, on a vehicle, would be roughly 2 - 4 years, however there is no warranty at this time per se regarding DI-NOC. Your independent retailer or installer may offer protection plans however, always feel free to inquire.

[vtec2000si]

Hi,

i will be attempting to wrap a car side mirror.

is this product applied dry, or in the traditional vinyl style with a water/soap solution?

[3mdinoc]

@vtec2000si you would apply the product dry. Thoroughly clean the area you wish to apply, and be sure to use Primer 94 to promote adhesion. Additionally, make sure you heat shrink/seal all edges.

[pattapongmeesub]

Is it safe to apply the primer on the car paint with or without clearcoat? If yes, is it hard to remove both di-noc and primer? Thanks

[3mdinoc]

Depending on the strength of the paint and the amount of time that DI-NOC has cured, there could be possible paint damage when DI-NOC is removed, just like with vinyl lettering.

[kellyv70]

What type of 3M adhesive are you using? It looks like the can said 94 Primer. Is that right? Any other products to be used? I'm going to do this to my car...

[3mdinoc]

The product is self adhering like a sticker. The primer is just to give the adhesive extra grip.
