A vehicle is one of the most valuable possessions you can get, not only in terms of the money you spend to acquire it but also because of how big a part it plays in your daily life. As such, it is only right that you take extra measures to ensure that it is kept in tip-top shape. If the paint job gets damaged, you have an option to either have it wrapped or repainted. Here’s what you should know about car wraps to decide if you should get one.

What Are Car Wraps?

Car wraps are like stickers made of vinyl that are applied directly on top of the current paint. You can either get a full wrap or a partial one depending on the design and look you’re trying to achieve. The process involves getting precise measurements of your vehicle before you choose a color or create a design.

The next step is to print out the design on vinyl sheets and laminate it for protection against UV rays, which can cause colors to fade. The final phase is the application of this wrap on your vehicle. You can also choose the type of finish you want, from glossy or satin to matte.

What Are The Pros & Cons Of Car Wraps?

Wrapping is ideal for vehicles with undamaged paint jobs. It will help protect the original paint, which preserves its resale value, and it is easier to maintain, repair, and replace. You will never have to wax a wrapped vehicle, and an installation only takes between three to five days.

However, it is not advisable to use car wraps to cover up scratches or rusted parts, as it might peel off the surrounding paint when removed and it will not stick to rust. Your best option would still be to have the paint fixed first before getting it wrapped.
