Vinyl Wrap Over Dents
What can i do if i have peeling paint on my car and i want a vinyl wrap.
Vinyl wrap over dents. We recommend clay barring for the smoothest best surface preparation. Clean the paint chips with soap and water. It is in the cutting process the paint can go from perfect to a mess. Things we re glad we did.
With the little water jet sprayers for the windshield heat the vinyl over it and keep smooth around it. An unskilled wrapper will cut on the paint leaving behind cut marks that will then be wrapped over never to be seen again until the wrap comes off. Eventually the vinyl will mould around the shape and cut gently around it. Rust that has eaten through the paint has to be fixed first as the vinyl wrap will not stick to rust.
But we couldn t find anything on vinyl d wrapping older cars on youtube so decided to make our own. We are not experts. Even if the problem area is small installing a wrap over the damaged paint has the potential of creating more problems. Just spend generous time lifting the vinyl heating it and smoothing it and eventually all your edges will look great.
Consult your owners manual for any restrictions as to cleaning agents or types of soap. The vinyl will not just sit over the dents and cover them like you hope. Use a soft cloth to dry the area thoroughly. The coverage can still look really good but that will depend on the size of the dent and the design of vehicle wrap.
Grab some automotive polishing compound and gently. It will show unless you fill them. Automotive wraps will protect your vehicle. Before vinyl wrapping a section of your car drag your hand across it to feel for any protrusions that you will have to get rid of for a nice unblemished finish.
The cast vinyl used for vehicle wraps will only adhere to paint that is in original oem or like new very good quality condition. The vinyl wrap comes in rolls of material rolls that must be cut shaped and conformed to the vehicle.
