What can i do if i have peeling paint on my car and i want a vinyl wrap.
Vinyl wrap over dents.
But we couldn t find anything on vinyl d wrapping older cars on youtube so decided to make our own.
Before vinyl wrapping a section of your car drag your hand across it to feel for any protrusions that you will have to get rid of for a nice unblemished finish.
Even if the problem area is small installing a wrap over the damaged paint has the potential of creating more problems.
Rust that has eaten through the paint has to be fixed first as the vinyl wrap will not stick to rust.
Consult your owners manual for any restrictions as to cleaning agents or types of soap.
The vinyl wrap comes in rolls of material rolls that must be cut shaped and conformed to the vehicle.
Once a vinyl vehicle wrap is professionally installed on a car it will prevent the vehicle from suffering any future damage by protecting the original paint job from any further dents or scratches.
Automotive wraps will protect your vehicle.
The vinyl will not just sit over the dents and cover them like you hope.
It will show unless you fill them.
Eventually the vinyl will mould around the shape and cut gently around it.
The cast vinyl used for vehicle wraps will only adhere to paint that is in original oem or like new very good quality condition.
Most colors and finishes of wrap material will amplify the problem area.
We recommend clay barring for the smoothest best surface preparation.
It is in the cutting process the paint can go from perfect to a mess.
Grab some automotive polishing compound and gently.
The vinyl wrap is like a big sticker and it follows all the contour of a vehicle including following the indentations of any dents and dings.
Things we re glad we did.
We are not experts.
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.
Clean the paint chips with soap and water.
Use a soft cloth to dry the area thoroughly.
