Yeah, I've experienced that for sure. I covered parts of my dash and interior with the carbon or aluminum DiNoc as well. Some of the curved areas are literally impossible to get without wrinkles or distortion of the material. I had to be really careful and just marry two pieces together in inconspicuous locations. In this picture, I did the flat area of the dash, the strips below the windows, the strip above the glovebox, the aluminum glovebox button, the gearshift surround, the aluminum gearshift surround, and the aluminum shifter button.

A few spots bubbled in the sun, so i had to redo those areas. I don't know why they didn't stick properly - I guess I didn't clean the surface well enough. I didn't use the recommended primer either though.
