How Your Paint Can Affect Your Vehicle Wrap

Gainsco Fleet Vehicle Wrap

Did you know your vehicle’s paint job plays a huge part in the quality of your car wrap? Well, it definitely does.

Our cars go through a lot of wear and tear from daily use. This includes not only the interior like the engine but also the exterior components like the bumper and paint. So, it’s no surprise that our vehicles will be greatly affected by the elements which can cause your paint to chip and peel. Well, if you are considering investing in a custom car wrap for your vehicle, it is very important to think about your paint. Although it will be covered with your custom vehicle graphic, your paint is quite possibly the most important aspect of keeping your car wrap looking like new.

Factory Paint vs. Touched Up or Aged Paint

When you purchase your vehicle brand new, it has a sparkly pretty coat of paint that is done by the factory. This paint is high-quality and is created to last and withstands the elements for years and years. But, if there is some extensive corrosion or damage done to your car, you may need to have your paint touched up. However, when it comes to the paint on your car, you need to know that all paint jobs are not the same. Although you can get a new paint job at any dealership nowadays it is very important to know that with aftermarket paint jobs, you need to do thorough research first. While there are several places that can properly execute an aftermarket paint job so it looks like factory work, there are also some paint jobs that just won’t. This is especially true if the price is too cheap.

So, why does it matter if your car has factory or aftermarket paint when doing a vehicle wrap? Poorly done aftermarket paints jobs work as the foundation of your truck or car wrap.  If we place your wrap on paint that is not of superior quality, more than likely it will peel or lift from your car when least expected. Similarly, if your car has aged paint that is showing signs of wear and tear, there is also a high probability that installing a custom vehicle wrap on it will result in it lifting or pulling off your paint completely.

The bottom line is that a good paint job (and expert car wrap professionals) is the key to a vehicle that will last!
