Vinyl wrap over paint chips.

Just wanted to know easiest and cheapest solution to keep the rust out and the paint underneath the wrap level. I don t really want to repaint the hood since i ll just be covering it up. Furthermore if your paint is weak such as a failing clear coat it might not resist when the time comes to peel the wrap off. Even if the vinyl will adhere to or around the problem area the removal of the vinyl may cause the damaged and or surrounding paint to pull off.

Like the title says i just want to fill level a bunch of rock chips on my hood prior to applying a vinyl hood wrap. You can also use a primer between the vinyl and the paint. Be sure your vinyl is clean before applying paint by washing it with soap and water and rinsing well. A vinyl vehicle wrap requires only a matter of a few days to complete whereas a high quality paint job can take two weeks to go through the entire process.

Any imperfections in your paint will show through the wrap specially those of a textured nature. The style of car wrap and the color also effect how it hides or shows defects. Matte black vinyl can be an option for bad paint. If there are scratches in the paint of your vehicle then yes of course a vinyl wrap can be applied over the scratches.

Vinyl can only hide surface scratches and very small rock chips as it is fairly thin and acts like a skin on top of your vehicle. They closely resemble thin vinyl and there is no color bleed when they become wet. Color chips are produced from pigments resin filler and additives are through colored random in shape and available in a wide array of colors to provide unique texture and color to coated surfaces. When comparing wrap vs paint the main point of using vinyl to change your car s appearance is that it s reversible.

Chips are sold in 1 pound bags or cans. Vinyl wraps that have a pattern will hide things the best way. Paint will not stick to a dirty surface. Defects damage stone chips scratches on paint.
