Vehicle Wraps Part Deux

A few other often asked questions in regards to vehicle wraps...

Will a Vehicle Wrap damage my paint?

In most cases vehicle wraps will not damage factory paint jobs. It is important to talk with your supplier and possibly pre-test your paint job prior to wrapping with vinyl. Paint in poor condition may peel when vinyl is removed.

What in your opinion is the single most advantage of a Vehicle Wrap as opposed to a new paint job?

The biggest reason in my mind is flexibility. With vehicle wraps, a designer's creativity and design possibilities are limitless. For example, it is difficult to paint a photograph, but easy to digitally reproduce a photograph. Paint simply cannot duplicate what is possible with digitally printed vinyl vehicle wraps.

Does a vinyl wrap weigh less than a paint job?

Yes. According to research done by 3M, using vinyl instead of paint on race vehicles can lower the weight of a car by as much as 30 pounds!
