Though vinyl wraps are popular for modern vehicles, some car enthusiasts seek vinyl wraps for their classic or vintage cars. Here are key considerations when wrapping an older vehicle:
Preparation and Installation Time
Classic vehicles often require extra preparation for a durable wrap. This can increase both installation time and cost, especially if the car has been recently waxed, as wax removal is necessary. Vintage car wraps also require manual measurements to ensure precision. Hiring a skilled vinyl wrap provider is essential to handle these details effectively.
Paint Condition
Before designing the wrap, the provider must assess the condition of the car’s paint. Whether the car has been repainted or has its original paint impacts installation time and quality. Issues like rust, chipping, or paint damage can show through the wrap and create air bubbles, affecting both appearance and durability. Additionally, the paint’s condition can influence the wrap removal process if you later decide to change the wrap.
Wrap Design
Most wrap designs and materials work well on modern vehicles, but they may not suit vintage cars. For example, a complex pattern may not align well with a chromatic wrap on a classic car. Choosing a wrap pattern, color, and material that complements the vintage design is essential. A skilled wrap provider can help craft a design that enhances your car’s unique style.
