10 Reasons For Wrapping a Car vs Painting

 

A wrap is a vinyl covering that is applied over the vehicle’s paintwork. It has increased in both flexibility and popularity over the last few years and now metallic, chrome and even color shifting vinyl wraps are available. The vinyl wrap starts as a liquid which is cast into a sheet and then processed through an oven where the solvents are evaporated and a solid film is left behind which is around 2 mm thick and is ready for printing. The film conforms well to the curved shapes of a vehicle and it is very durable. It is not prone to shrinkage but there can be some small bubbles under it when it has been applied.
