Vinyl Wrap Over Paint Chips
Just wanted to know easiest and cheapest solution to keep the rust out and the paint underneath the wrap level.
Vinyl wrap over paint chips. If your vinyl surface is clean the paint or primer will adhere to the vinyl rather than the dirt and you will have a longer lasting finish. They closely resemble thin vinyl and there is no color bleed when they become wet. You can also use a primer between the vinyl and the paint. Vinyl can only hide surface scratches and very small rock chips as it is fairly thin and acts like a skin on top of your vehicle.
Color chips are produced from pigments resin filler and additives are through colored random in shape and available in a wide array of colors to provide unique texture and color to coated surfaces. Chips are sold in 1 pound bags or cans. When comparing wrap vs paint the main point of using vinyl to change your car s appearance is that it s reversible. Furthermore if your paint is weak such as a failing clear coat it might not resist when the time comes to peel the wrap off.
Like the title says i just want to fill level a bunch of rock chips on my hood prior to applying a vinyl hood wrap. Any imperfections in your paint will show through the wrap specially those of a textured nature. Vinyl wraps that have a pattern will hide things the best way. The style of car wrap and the color also effect how it hides or shows defects.
If there are scratches in the paint of your vehicle then yes of course a vinyl wrap can be applied over the scratches. Defects damage stone chips scratches on paint. Even if the vinyl will adhere to or around the problem area the removal of the vinyl may cause the damaged and or surrounding paint to pull off. Paint will not stick to a dirty surface.
In fact people often spend more time deliberating over the design options than they do with the actual wrapping procedure. A vinyl vehicle wrap requires only a matter of a few days to complete whereas a high quality paint job can take two weeks to go through the entire process. This vehicle did not have any flaws in the paint but it offers an example of a high quality matte black custom wrap by 12 point signworks. Matte black vinyl can be an option for bad paint.
