Can A Vinyl Wrap Be Applied Over Car Scratches?

Teran Marsell | Published on February 4th, 2019

Vinyl vehicle wraps can be applied over hulls even if they have been scratched, or suffered a similar degree of small damage. If there are scratches in the paint of your vehicle, then yes, of course, a vinyl wrap can be applied over the scratches. The wrap itself is designed to shrink down and from a tight contour around the hull no matter what its condition is. Note that the following advice applies to… BusesCarsTrucksLuxury automobilesVintage automobilesBoatsJetskisMotorcycles ...and more. That brings us to what is most likely your real question: can you use a vinyl vehicle wrap to hide a scratch in your vehicle’s hull? In most cases, if you can feel a scratch in your vehicle’s paint, then it will show through a vinyl wrap—a wrap might even make the imperfection more noticeable. The vinyl wrap adheres so closely to the hull that it will inevitably conform to the groove created by the scratch. This is true of any ding or dent that may be in your hull. Proper Vinyl Vehicle Wrapping Begins With Repairing Any Scratches In The Car’s Hull While some auto detailers might only offer wrapping services, Team Acme knows that a full-service wrap job starts with repairing any damage...

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.

Some of these include: Falling branches, and other harmful debrisSplashing chemicals from puddles on the roadWind-blown dust and small rocksSimple hazards such as jacket button or stray keys from people walking...
