Paint protection films and vehicle wraps first we take a look at paint protection films also known as clear wraps.
Does vinyl wrap protect paint.
We can say from experience that this is the best way to protect your car against chips scrapes scratches fading and discoloration.
Fun fact vinyl decals actually protect the paint underneath.
Vinyl car decals or vinyl wrap material are made with an adhesive that is semi permanent.
There are two types of car wraps.
This allows you to create an unmistakable appearance for your car.
An unskilled wrapper will cut on the paint leaving behind cut marks that will then be wrapped over never to be seen again until the wrap comes off.
Furthermore if your paint is weak such as a failing clear coat it might not resist when the time comes to peel the wrap off.
Wax and polish can t do very much against the punishing ionizing.
The vinyl wrap comes in rolls of material rolls that must be cut shaped and conformed to the vehicle.
Vinyl wraps can be customized with digital printed designs.
We have had a clear paint wrap on most of our own vehicles.
Which means that if done properly it will remove without taking off any of the clear coat or paint layer underneath it.
This is great for people whose cars have expensive paint jobs have metallic paint or for those who have a classic car and want to keep it safe.
When it comes time to sell your car you can remove the vinyl to reveal the pristine paint underneath.
Any imperfections in your paint will show through the wrap specially those of a textured nature.
When comparing wrap vs paint the main point of using vinyl to change your car s appearance is that it s reversible.
