Anyone have suggestions for wrapping vinyl on door panels?  I used spray adhesive out of a glue gun, heated the vinyl to get it to stretch so that it meets the contours of the door panel.  After about 2-3 days the vinyl material raised up in the curved areas for what ever reason and yes the glue gun being used and glue itself are good.  I have used this glue gun/glue many times before and never had any problems.  In my second attempt I sanded the door panel and applied a spray adhesive to enhance the bond between materials. Second attempt was unsuccessly as well.  Any tips???

I would gradually wrap panels, spraying sections, and smoothing them with the side of your hand as you go. Especially in the contoured areas, you want to make sure the vinyl is firmly applied to the surface, otherwise, it may pull away from the surface. Maybe apply slightly more adhesive in curved areas. I would actually wait a little while before doing any trimming, stretching or finishing work on it, to give the adhesive time to set up. Once its dried, you should be OK. Hope this helps.
