Vinyl wraps are used for a multitude of reasons and are seen all over town. We commonly see wraps advertising businesses, but they can also be used as a faux paint job. Car wraps can be incredibly smooth looking, but the paint under the wrap needs to be in top condition; otherwise, the wrap will show all imperfections. Wraps do not hide dents or scratches. They often make them appear more noticeable. But when done right, a wrapped car can bring in business or appear very dapper.
10 For Those Who Want To Stand Out, Even In the Dark
Vinyl wrapping can do things that ordinary paint struggles to provide. Besides being much cheaper than a paint job, the vinyl wrap offers thicker protection than a traditional paint job. CrazyCarWrap on Instagram posted this beautiful glow-in-the-dark GT-R. This unique appearance would cost a fortune with conventional painting due to its pastel multicolored hue and glow-in-the-dark finish. For small sections like this GT-R, vinyl wrapping offers a cheap, unique way to change your aesthetic.
9 For Added Protection
For truck owners who care about how good their trucks look, the vinyl wrapping provides a few millimeters more protection in comparison to a traditional paint job. Even sturdy, off-roading level paint jobs succumb to scratches and tears, and this type of finish ensures a lot more protection. These wraps are much harder to chip and retain a lot of the aesthetic value for a vehicle. They are also resistant to UV rays, dust, debris, and other weather elements.
8 For Those Who Want Texture
Something easily achieved with vinyl wrapping is texture. Where most paint jobs are sleek and glossy, vinyl can be printed in matte, low sheen, and high gloss. The BMW M4 GTS pictured above is a classic example of someone using texture to add dimensionality to their aesthetic. On the hood, we see a smooth matte finish. Whereas on the sides, we see a dapper gloss. This minor detailing of the matte versus gloss follows the top of the frame to the back, creating a seamless transition between the two textures and drawing the eyes all over the luxurious body.
7 For Those Who Want Attention
It is common to see advertisements on vehicles around town that are vinyl wraps. Often, we think of advertisements as simple and straightforward. However, there are many types of professionals looking for vinyl wrapping besides local business owners. For racers and other performance professionals, wraps are a great way to advertise different information. For the Toyota MK5 Supra photoed above, the Thunder Bunny Racing is displayed along the windshield. The entire vehicle is wrapped in a beautiful advertisement that draws the eye, inviting it to gaze over the length of the vehicle.
6 For Those Who Want To Reinvent
For most, the Corolla brings to mind the reliable family car, dependable and comfortable. This vehicle retains dependability and comfort. However, it trades the traditional look for a multidimensional art piece. This is a classic example of letting creativity turn something basic and universal into something unique and representative. The art and multitone layering of the reflective colors and more base colors allow this vehicle to truly stand out among the rest.
5 For Those Who Want To Represent
These wrappings can also be a form of representation of identity and expression of self. For the owner of the low rider photographed above, this vehicle is an art piece representing the pride of Mexican heritage. This display is not only inventive in the different modifications and detailing work the owner has included to meet the quality of the beautiful and intricate vinyl wrapping. This detailed work stands these vehicles above the rest, as they become more than functional vehicles but also enter into the art realm.
4 For Those Who Want To Laugh
Being able to look at our car and laugh helps long work days feel a little less stiff. There are plenty of photos throughout Instagram where the vinyl has been used to create a funny moment. This owner's custom VW Beetle definitely hits the giggle mark. Vinyl wrapping can be a very inexpensive path toward making a car or rig completely customizable. Even specific colors and upgraded finishes can be very expensive with paint. Vinyl wrapping allows intricate detail work and art pieces to be accomplished within a smaller time frame and budget.
