Can Vinyl Wrap Be Applied to a Car With Rust?

Teran Marsell | Published on April 19th, 2019

People commonly see vehicle wraps as a solution for unsightly problems. If you have rust spots or a poorly executed paint job, it seems that covering the offending coat is the easiest solution. Is this you? If your car has imperfections in the exterior like rust holes or peeling paint, then vinyl vehicle wraps should not be your solution. Covering these damages wouldn't be a solution at all. Why You Should Never Apply Vinyl Over Rust Rust on a car is similar to a hole in a wall. You can cover the hole with paint or wall-hangings, but there is still a hole in the wall. The damage jeopardizes the structural integrity of the wall, even if it isn't visible. As with the wall, rust can jeopardize the structural integrity of your car, especially if the rust is severe. Even if the rust is not advanced, then by covering it with a vinyl wrap, some moisture will be trapped inside, and the rust will spread. And while this may hide the damage for a moment, it won't last. Vinyl wraps adhere to the paint on a vehicle. Without a secured adhesion, the vinyl will peel or bubble, leaving the rust visible again. Sand,...

Can A Clear Coat Be Applied On Top of A Vinyl Wrap?

Teran Marsell | Published on March 28th, 2019

Extending the Life of Your Vinyl Wrap You have spent countless hours agonizing over choosing just the right colors and graphics for your vinyl vehicle wrap. You have gone through the process of creating and professionally installing your custom vinyl wrap on your vehicle. Now that your ride is the hottest in town, you have one big question. How do you keep your new vinyl wrap looking great? Clear Coat There is an entire following in the school of clear coat. It is easy to spray on, it protects the design from fading, and it repels road debris. However, there are a few things you should know first. Some vinyl wraps have a textured finish that gives depth to your graphic. Unfortunately, the clear coating tends to fill in stamped patterns, which can dull the 3D quality of your design. Clear coat also has a reputation for changing the way light is reflected off of the vinyl, changing the way the colors appear. If you do decide to go with a clear coat, we highly recommend testing the results on a separate piece of your vinyl wrap. Spray one coat onto your vinyl. Allow that layer to dry completely before...

Is Sunroof Tinting Safe? Learn All the Risks & How to Avoid Them

Teran Marsell | Published on March 10th, 2019

Since there have been sunroofs on cars, people have been tinting them. That doesn't necessarily mean the practice as a whole is safe and people have begun questioning the safety of sunroof tinting. Here we have compiled a list of the risks associated with sunroof tinting and how to avoid them. Improper Sunroof Tint Installation When an installer does a window-tinting job, it is pretty straightforward. The windows are right there in front of them and easy to reach. Tinting a sunroof is an entirely different ballgame. The installer is basically upside down in your car. In this awkward position, mistakes are more common. Often, a blade slips during trimming and will either scratch the glass or cut wire. You can also encounter loose or frayed edges. A dull cutter usually causes these damaged edges. Possibly gathering in the tracks, these edges contribute to the sunroof not opening smoothly and can even cause it to become stuck. To avoid these issues, make sure to take your vehicle to a professional window tinting company. Not the Correct Sunroof Tint Anyone that spends a considerable amount of time driving can tell you about the Sun's effects. The left arm will always be...

5 Reasons to Tint the Windows of Your Nevada Home

Teran Marsell | Published on February 19th, 2019

Window Tinting for Your Home Installing window tints serve many benefits, not just when they’re used on vehicles, but also when they’re placed on home windows. Nevada is well known for its ever-shining sunlight, which poses both positive and negative effects for residents and homeowners.

Here are some of the numerous reasons you should consider getting tints for the windows of your Nevada home: 1. Privacy and Security While the sun is shining into your home, wandering eyes are able to see inside. No matter is your largest window faces the neighbors or you are concerned with the safety of your home, window tinting can bring you peace of mind. Keep the prying eyes of potential thieves away and the valuable contents of your home safe while keeping your home private. Window tints make for a darker protective layer that’ll obscure an onlooker view of your home’s interior. Not having a sharp view inside will...

How Effective is Vehicle Wrap Advertising?

Teran Marsell | Published on February 12th, 2019

Vehicle Wrap Advertising With the increasing popularity of vehicle wraps and the ever-growing need for new and eye-catching ways to advertise, Vehicle Wrap Advertising is one of the easiest and cost-effective ways to advertise. Every business owner is looking for an effective and affordable way to increase their business potential. If you haven’t tried vehicle wraps as a marketing tool, we highly recommend this increasingly popular trend in advertising. Surely, every business is looking for productive ways to publicize their products or services and vehicle advertising is worth looking into. Vinyl Vehicle Wraps are Great for Small Businesses Small businesses are the backbone of any local economy. Unfortunately, they tend to get glossed over in favor of bigger businesses due to brand familiarity. When a consumer recognizes a brand, they tend to stick to what they are used to more than an unknown. This works against business owners, that have to work so much harder to get their names into the pool. Especially for the small business, getting the word out is often costly as compared to the benefits. Traditional forms of promotion have been direct mailings, phone book listings, newspaper ads, cold-calling or even billboards. In fact, billboards have been used for...

Vehicle Paint Job: Is it Better Than Vinyl Wrap?

Teran Marsell | Published on January 28th, 2019

Vehicle wraps are gaining traction every year. This means the materials are evolving and the options are growing. This has brought us to the point where we are able to color change an entire vehicle. Vehicles wraps can be designed quickly and easily. The high-quality printing method allows you to design anything that you can dream and think of and have it turn out exactly as you want- the choice is yours. Just like going down to a paint shop and having the vehicle color changed from Dark Blue to Pearl White Metallic. The best part of wrapping your vehicle is that you can redesign and switch out the entire wrap or just parts of it any time that you like. In addition to that, you can even change your company’s message image seasonally if you like- you can’t do that with paint jobs. Vinyl vehicle wraps can do more than just improve your car’s looks.
