Beyond the Budget
While a vehicle wrap can work for any budget, wrapping isn’t always the best solution for your needs. Check out our list below to help you when asking, “is a wrap right for me?” Many people think every wrap installation is the same, but there are many factors to consider before wrapping your vehicle.
- Paint Condition: Vehicle wrap films are created to adhere to manufacturers paint. If your vehicle has been repainted, or if your original paint is in poor condition, a wrap is likely not the best solution for you. Imperfections in the paint will show through your wrap, and certain finishes can even emphasize those problem areas!
- Overall Body Condition: Along the same lines as your paint condition, it is also important that your vehicle is free of any major dents, scratches, or rust spots. Installing vinyl wraps over damaged surfaces will typically result in a subpar result, and will always void any manufacturers warranties on your vinyl.
- Exposure to the Elements: This is a consideration that many people overlook, but it makes a huge difference! Exposure to direct sunlight, heavy rain, hail, and other natural elements can impact the longevity of your wrap. We have found that vehicles stored in a garage will have wraps that last longer and resist fading. Remember, you will get out of your wrap the same care you put into it, so make sure that you are willing to commit to the proper care before investing in a vehicle wrap.
