A car wrap or truck wrap is a major investment of your time, money, and resources. You don’t want to go to the trouble of having a car wrap placed on your vehicle only to get a bad result. In this post, we’ll discuss some things you’ll want to have in order before having your car wrapped.
Condition of the Paint
The vinyl material of your truck wrap is only going to adhere to paint that is in its original condition. This means that if your car’s exterior has damage or problem areas, you’re going to make matters worse by placing a vinyl wrap on top of it. This is because vinyl will not act as a camouflage but will enhance these issues.
Rust
If your car’s frame has rusted away in parts, this automobile is not going to be a good candidate on which to apply a wrap. Plain and simple, the wrap will not stay on a car with these outer blemishes.
Orange Peel Paint Texture
A poor paint job can cause your car to sport a bumpy appearance that is similar to that of an orange peel. This can be fixed, however, and is recommended before you apply a wrap to a vehicle of this kind.
