I want to wrap parts of my interior in black vinyl because i had painted it and don't like the look of it. I've seen people use a kind of shrink wrap vinyl that you heat up and stretch around courners. But i don't know where to buy it. If anyone knows what im talking about or where to buy it. Or if anyone knows of something better.

i've never used shrink vinyl. I have used a decently thick peice of vinyl and some heat activated glue and strtech fit things make sure you just keep the vinyl hot don't hold it in one spot.use your finger to round it into the curves.
i'm pretty sure i got the glue at SP www.selectproducts.com
and the vinyl at my local fabric shop you can also get it at SP.

I believe that what are refering to isn't shrink wrap vinyl, but is what 60hz163.5db is refering to. You take Vinyl, and stray your adhesive on both the vinyl and the surface you are wrapping onto. The heat gun is used a)if it's heat activated adhesive (which seemes like a good idea, I would guess sunlight wouldn't break the adhesive down as quickly) and b) the heat gun is used to heat up the vinly and make it easier to stretch and make it plyable. It becomes much easier to stretch and wrap around curves and such. Thats just how vinly wrapping is done. A heat gun is part of the process in this way.
