Car vinyl wrap is gaining more and more strength. Surely you have noticed that vinyl cars are already beginning to be seen on the streets.
The easiest to distinguish are those that are vinyl in matte colors since it is a difficult and very expensive finish to achieve with paint. On the other hand, those that are covered with glossy vinyl are more difficult to identify because a priori, it seems that they are painted.
So, let's start by knowing what we mean when we talk about integral lining or banner printing.
What is Car Wrapping?
Car wrap consists of partially or totally covering a vehicle with special adhesive vinyl. But how do you do it? It is manual work in which the vinyl is molded piece by piece and sticking to the original painting.
When you look at the vinyl car, you should not know whether it is vinyl or painted.
Does vinyl need more care than paint?
To sum it up, you don't have to take special care with vinyl compared to paint. But there are things you can do to extend the life and good looks of vinyl for many many years.
Does it scratch (micro swirls) more easily?
The banner has a hardness similar to paint, that is, it scratches in a similar way. The good news is that like paint, vinyl can also be polished to remove those micro scratches.
Would it be more noticeable compared to the painting?
If someone parking hits you, for example on the bumper, the result is similar to paint with one important difference. With paint, that mark can no longer be repaired unless it is repainted. On the other hand, with vinyl what happens is that it is wrinkled or cut. With the help of heat, that wrinkle or cut can be undone, leaving it practically invisible.
Of course, in the worst cases (for example rubbing with a column that tears the vinyl), you can always change the affected area with a new sheet of vinyl.
Best of all, with vinyl, the paint underneath remains intact and the vinyl is cheaper to repair.
Can I do it myself or just be a professional?
The answer is yes, but we recommend taking help of the professionals like Signarama, as we are experienced in this field for years and we know how to do it with proper care and finishing.
