Vinyl Car Wraps

What Are Vehicle Wraps

Does your vehicle need to be repainted? Would you like to add your company logo to the side? This can be costly if you want it to be painted professionally. A more viable solution could be vinyl wraps. Vinyl wraps are large vinyl decals that go around the entire vehicle or part of the vehicle’s bodywork. They are extremely versatile and can be used on any type of car or van.

They come in a range of creative color. There are standard solid colors that give your vehicle that ‘new-look,’ but, they also come in a variety of patterns, like camouflage, and can even be custom designed using digital technologies.

If you want an affordable and versatile solution to changing your vehicle’s appearance, then vinyl wraps are an excellent option to consider. Your vehicle can look as if it just rolled off the production line.

Why Wrap Your Car

Wrapping your vehicle has several benefits that you may not realize. It not only gives your vehicle a fresh new appearance for a price that is significantly lower than a full paint job, but the vinyl protects the paint underneath. A vinyl wrap is a perfect way to protect your vehicle and improve its style.

Primarily, people opt for vinyl wraps because they provide a range of colors, patterns, and styles not available with standard paintwork. Wraps include styles such as gloss vinyl, carbon-fiber vinyl, matte vinyl, holographic vinyl, camouflage vinyl, and brushed vinyl. But with digital technology, custom designs are possible, and the options are virtually endless.

Another excellent benefit of vehicle wrap is that you are not tied to a color or design in the same way you are with paint. Vehicle wrap can last a long time if properly cared for, but it will not last forever. It means you have the option of changing your vehicle’s color periodically.

Gloss Vinyl Wrap

Gloss vinyl wrap is excellent if you want a finish that looks like authentic paintwork. This option is perfect if you have a second-hand vehicle you want to refresh or a original paintjob that you want to protect. It can be applied in hours and lasts up to seven years.

Matte Vinyl Wraps

Holographic Vinyl Wraps

If you like to stand out and get noticed you’re going to love holographic vinyl wraps. The holographic vinyl shines and retracts various colors of light, creating a rainbow-like effect. Most people opt for a complete wrap which has a stand out effect. This is probably recommended with holographic wrap.

Camouflage Vinyl Wraps

A camouflage finish is ideal for vans, quads, and boats. On the road, your vehicle will stand out with a personality of its own, and when off-road, the design will keep it consistent with the surrounding landscape. There are many camouflage styles to choose from.

Brushed Vinyl Wraps

Brushed vinyl wraps are similar to Gloss vinyl wraps in that they are designed to look like a standard finish. As a result, it is ideal for protecting the finish on new vehicles or updating an older one. It is a classy finish with a metallic sheen – use this wrap to bring an authentic steel finish to your bodywork.

Whether you have a loud personality or a need for something low-key and classy, there is a finish to suit. Below are some of the different ways you can wrap your vehicle.
