FAQs
What is vehicle wrapping and how does it work?
Vehicle wrapping is the process of applying a large, adhesive-backed vinyl film over the surface of a vehicle. This film can be either a solid colour, a printed graphic, or a textured finish (such as matte or metallic), and it fully or partially covers the vehicle’s original paint. The purpose of a vehicle wrap can be aesthetic—changing the look of the vehicle—or promotional, turning the vehicle into a moving advertisement.
The process begins with a design phase where the layout and graphics are created, often using a digital template of the vehicle model. After printing and laminating the vinyl wrap, professional installers apply it to the vehicle’s panels using heat, squeegees, and precision tools. The result is a seamless, paint-safe finish that can last several years when properly maintained. Wraps can be removed later without damaging the original paint, making them a flexible alternative to permanent paint jobs.
How long does a vehicle wrap last?
The lifespan of a vehicle wrap depends on several factors, including the quality of the vinyl, the installation process, how the vehicle is used, and how well the wrap is maintained. On average, a professionally installed vehicle wrap can last between 3 to 7 years.
High-quality vinyl materials with UV protection and proper lamination will last longer and resist fading, cracking, or peeling. Wraps on vehicles that are regularly washed, parked in shade, or stored in garages tend to outlast wraps on vehicles exposed to direct sunlight, salt air, or abrasive conditions like dirt roads.
Partial wraps or accent pieces (such as roof or bonnet wraps) may also wear differently depending on placement. Eventually, the vinyl may begin to show signs of wear or lifting at the edges, which is usually the first indicator that a replacement may be needed. Regular cleaning and avoiding abrasive chemicals can help maximise wrap longevity.
Can a vehicle wrap damage the paint?
When properly installed and removed, vehicle wraps do not damage the original paint—in fact, they can help protect it. High-quality vinyl wraps create a protective barrier that shields the paint from UV rays, light scratches, and road debris. This can help preserve the condition of the paint underneath, which may even increase the resale value of the vehicle.
However, there are exceptions. If the underlying paint is already chipped, rusted, or poorly maintained, removing a wrap later can cause peeling or damage in those areas. Additionally, low-grade vinyl or improper installation (such as excessive heat or poor surface preparation) can lead to adhesive residue or paint lifting.
To avoid these issues, wraps should always be installed by trained professionals using high-grade materials. When the time comes to remove the wrap, a careful removal process involving heat and adhesive remover helps ensure the original paint remains intact.
Mobile signage, such as vehicle wraps, offers exposure to thousands of people daily, making it an excellent long-term investment. Consistency across signage types—like using the same logo, colours, and fonts—helps build trust and recall. When strategically placed and professionally designed, signage delivers ongoing brand promotion without recurring advertising costs, making it a powerful marketing tool for attracting and retaining customers.
