Do you want to make the most of your vehicle wraps? Make sure you avoid the following mistakes.
When it comes to mistakes in vehicle wrap installation, professionals are quick to point them out. So, can these mistakes really be avoided? Well, the answer is simple and straightforward. Yes, you can avoid these mistakes, but you will have to hire a professional, like the ones working at our sign company,
If you are talking about partial or full car wraps, it is a totally different story. Moreover, just like full size wraps, three-dimensional wraps present you with different challenges. First of all, they need multiple sheets, which are measured and cut to fit the area. Furthermore, these signs tend to navigate around different rivets, angles and curves.
In the following paragraphs, we will discuss some of the vehicle wrap mistakes that car wrapping professionals identify at first glance.
Bubbling
One of the most common wrapping mistakes that professionals notice is bubbling. It normally happens due to a lack of preparation. However, sometimes overstretching can also cause bubbles to form in an otherwise flawless vehicle wrap. Also, installing a car wrap in extremely hot climates can result in the formation of bubbles in your vehicle wraps. Car wraps should be installed very gently and when the weather is not too hot.
Peeled Edges
Another common problem that professionals notice is peeled edges. This happens because the person applying the wrap doesn’t clean the surface although there is oil on it. Also, if the surface is covered with dust or debris, the adhesive won’t work properly, and therefore, the wrap will not hold on to the car’s body. Before the wrap is installed, the body of the car should be thoroughly cleaned and left to dry.
Patchiness
In a poor car job, you will notice some patches of vinyl placed in the rivets and corners. These patches make the wrapping job appear filthy and unprofessional. Patchiness occurs when the installer has no idea how to work along these areas. Therefore, they try covering up these areas with a separate piece of vinyl. The vehicle wrap should be straight and seamless and shouldn’t look like an unfolded quilt.
Bad Timing
After the wrap is pasted to the car’s body, the excess sheet should be cut away. To trim the excess sheet, one needs precision and accuracy. If the person applying the wrap makes any error, the wrap will have to be taken off and the job will have to be started from scratch.
These were some of the most common mistakes that ruin a car wrapping job. To avoid these mistakes, make sure to hire a professional and reputable car wrapping company.
