Why do not wrap your car.
Why you probably shouldn’t wrap your car!
I know right! Why is a car wrapping company talking about why you shouldn’t wrap your car?
Well, in all honesty, it’s truly because we believe in being impartial, and that just because it’s available, doesn’t mean that you should go ahead with it. In saying that, here are some reasons we believe that you shouldn’t get your car wrapped in Vinyl
Cost
Car wrapping is incredibly expensive to have done on your vehicle. That’s why you typically see high end cars such as Lamborghini’s and Bentleys getting car wraps. Because whats an extra $4,000 on top of a $50,000 car? But, sometimes the car is just not worth getting wrapped, that is unless you truly love your vehicle.

Risky Installation:
Vinyl installation is incredibly tricky, and if you pick the wrong installer, it can end in disaster. Unfortunately, it’s a bit of a guessing game with various installers. You may not always know what sort of vinyl material the installers use. Whilst many charge excess due to the high quality material, some may charge excess but undercut the costs by using cheap vinyl. It is often tempting for installers to use cheap chines vinyl, which costs just $300 a roll, compared to 3M vinyl, which costs $1,300 a roll.

Ugly:
Lets face it. Wrapping your vehicle is walking a fine line between tasteful and awful. And sometimes, it often turns out rather bad. Whilst some examples of wrapped vehicles look stunning, others look rather tacky and cheap.

Maintenance:
Vinyl is like a new born baby. It needs constant attention and caring. Many people often make the mistake of viewing vinyl as some form of protection for the cars original paintwork, but if you’re after protection, then get some paint protection film(hyperlink: http://www.provinyl.com.au/clear-protection.html ). Vinyl is mainly used to change the appearance of a car, or to change the colour. The vinyl wears away over time, as the glue hardens. There are also lots of strict rules surrounding the upkeep. Vinyl wrapped cars cannot spend too long in the sun. Any pollutants or contaminants, such as bird droppings, tree sap or mud needs to be cleared off immediately. They cannot be taken to automatic car washes, and cannot have hard abrasive sponges used. The car soap must also be a low irritant based solution, and you are not allowed to use a high pressure hose.

Wrong Vinyl
How can you pick the wrong vinyl? isn’t vinyl just vinyl? By that logic, how can you pick the wrong car? isn’t a car just a car? There are many types of vinyl, made by different manufacturers, for different purposes. It’s important to understand that various types of vinyl are designed for various purposes. That being said, some vinyl is made rather poorly, and the quality is often lacklustre. The best vinyl you can get on the market is Avery Dennison or 3M, both of which are the leading manufacturers of vinyl. Cheaper, low quality vinyl is often used as a substitute, which is how many installers get away with cheap prices. The downside to this is that many installers use cheap vinyl, mainly from China, which easily shows up, as the vinyl starts to lift and/or bubble after a couple of months, when compared to high quality 3M vinyl, which can last up to a couple years.

We know that vinyl wrapping your vehicle is not an easy decision to make, and we get that many people do not like the idea of wrapping, but many people do. We make it our job to ensure that your vinyl is done professionally, and to make sure that you are as informed as you possibly are. At the end of the day, vinyl wrapping is the easiest option for changing up your car’s look, since it is merely a sticker, and so it keeps your vehicle’s original paint job the same. Another bonus is that compared to other forms of vehicle customisation, it’s the cheapest, and by far the easiest to remove, unlike those dodgy front splitters and rear spoilers you find on ricers. Only vinyl wrapping can give you the best enhancement for your vehicle with unique colours and finishes.
