Teran Marsell | Published on February 11th, 2021

We often hear people ask us about what sort of vinyl vehicle wraps are going to be popular in any given period of time. The truth is that it can be hard to predict. Many people have such creative ideas for what they want to do with their cars! Why Is Vinyl Wrap Going To Be Important In 2021? Due to some major changes in society and the world at large, many people have turned to vinyl wraps as a way to get out advertising messages. Some people feel that it's one of the most effective ways of getting a message to potential consumers. On top of this, some people have commented on environmental and social issues.

Can Vinyl Wrap Be Applied to a Car With Rust?

Teran Marsell | Published on February 10th, 2021

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. At Team Acme, we've seen many different techniques used to try and hide rust. In reality, though, you're going to want to genuinely address the underlying condition instead of just trying to hide it outright. Sand, Prime, And Paint- Or Wrap! The only solution is to repair the damage before moving further. The first step is to sand away the offending rust and blemishes. Once the source of the rust is gone, apply a primer to the spots. After the primer dries, you can decide if you would prefer to wrap or paint the vehicle. The difference in price depends on the kind of paint you want to use, but no matter what, a wrap is not permanent, so it could act as a ‘temporary tattoo’ for your car color.

Window Tint Removal Principles

Teran Marsell | Published on February 4th, 2021

Window tint removal principles are important. Maybe you're driving a vehicle that has outdated window tinting and you'd like to have it replaced with something a little more modern. Over time, tint can become damaged. Some bubbles might appear in the film at first and then later settle down and vanish. It becomes a serious problem when you start to see new bubbles forming on the existing tint. When this happens, you'll need to remove the tint and replace it with something that provides 99 percent protection against UV rays. Fortunately, it's not that hard to have the tint removed as long as you're working with a professional team. Principles Behind Removing Window Tint Film Technicians normally start by finding the edge of where the film was placed. They then use a very thin tool to start picking the edge until they're able to get it to a point where it's obvious that the tint and glass are two different substances and they can be pulled apart. It might be tempting at this point to just start tearing, but that would leave quite a mess on the underlying window glass. That's exactly why our team would never do something so destructive. The method of removing...

Teran Marsell | Published on January 20th, 2021

Dipping cars, or covering them with a spray-on coat that can later peel off like a sheet of rubber, has been received with a lot of excitement by the car community.

What Is A Vinyl Wrap As the name suggests, a vinyl vehicle wrap is a vinyl cover that shrinks over the existing body of a car. You can give it a different finish, such as a nice glossy sheen.

Teran Marsell | Published on December 15th, 2020

One thing that you can find on almost any car in Sin City is window tint.
