Sky Blue Pearlescent Metallic Vinyl Wrap

No, the vinyl films we sell have a non-permanent adhesive, making them easily removable. Typically, a vinyl wrap lasts 3-7 years, depending on the material used, driving conditions, sun exposure, and storage. When it’s time to remove the wrap, it can be done without damaging the paint, returning your car to its original color and condition. While some glue residue may be left behind, it can be easily removed with rubbing alcohol or by rubbing it off with your finger.

It's recommended to remove the vinyl wrap after 3-5 years, as leaving it on longer could potentially damage the clear coat and even the paint. However, issues may arise if the car was repainted, resprayed, or if the paint was already in poor condition at the time of installation. In such cases, there is no guarantee that the vinyl wrap won’t cause damage or peel off paint during removal, and this applies to all brands of vinyl wraps.

Our vinyl films are versatile and can adhere to a variety of surfaces, both vehicle's exterior and interior, as well as marine and architectural applications. The vinyl will stick confidently to any painted surface on a vehicle and most smooth, non-porous materials like bare metal and plastic. However, it may not adhere well to certain interior surfaces, such as rubber (soft or hard), leather, and non-smooth plastics that are ribbed or textured.

Vinyl films typically last between 3 to 7 years, depending on the environment. In sunnier climates, such as the Southern United States (California, Florida, Texas, etc.), the lifespan of the vinyl may be reduced by 20-30% due to stronger sunlight exposure. The closer you are to the equator, the faster the vinyl may fade or crack. This is especially true for colors with a high content of red pigment, such as red, purple, yellow, pink, and copper, which tend to fade more quickly.

The quality of the installation also plays a crucial role in the durability of the wrap. A properly installed wrap will maintain its look and feel longer and is less likely to fail by curling or peeling back.

To calculate the amount of vinyl needed to wrap your vehicle, you can use the following simple formula:

1. Determine Vehicle Length: Measure the length of your vehicle in inches.
2. Multiply by 3: Multiply the length by 3 to cover both sides and the top.
3. Add Extra Vinyl: Add 5 to 15 feet for bumpers, mistakes, and complex areas.
4. Round Up: Always round up to the nearest roll size.

Example Calculation:

For a 2016 Ford Mustang, which is 188 inches long:

• Length Calculation: (188" x 3) + 10 ft = 47 ft + 10 ft = 57 ft.
• Closest Roll Size: You would need to purchase a 5ft x 60ft roll.

♦ Small size cars can be fully wrapped with 50 to 55 feet / 15 to 16.8 meters of vinyl.
example of vehicle sizes:
Audi A3 & A4, BMW 2 & 3 series, Mitsubishi Lancer, Subaru Impreza, VW Golf & Beetle & Jetta, Hyundai Elantra, Nissan Sentra, Mercedes C-class

♦ Midsize cars can be fully wrapped with 60 to 65 feet / 18.3 to 19.8 meters of vinyl.
examples of vehicles:
Chevrolet Camaro, Corvette, Ford Mustang, Ford Fusion, Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, VW Passat & CC, Nissan Maxima/Altima, Audi A5 & A6, BMW 5 series, Mercedes E-class, Hyundai Sonata,

♦ Full-size cars; small SUVs, small trucks & small vans need 60 to 70 feet / 18.3 to 21.3 meters of vinyl
examples of vehicle sizes:
Audi A7 & A8, Ford Taurus, Chevrolet Impala, BMW 7 series, Mercedes limousines & S class, Hummer 3, 4Runner, FJ Cruiser

♦ Full-size SUVs, trucks & minivans 70 to 85 feet / 21.3 to 25.9 meters of vinyl
examples of vehicle sizes:
Suburban, Escalade, Land Rover, Cayenne, Hummer, H2, Voyager, Town & Country, Sienna, Routan

Vinyl wraps are not intended to match the original color of your vehicle. They are designed to change or replace the vehicle's color with unique, non-OEM options that manufacturers create. Vinyl wrap films are made by mixing pre-mixed dye with PVC-based material, which is then produced into large rolls of vinyl.

Due to the nature of the manufacturing process, even wraps from the same color batch can have slight shade differences. This variability means that a perfect color match to your vehicle’s original paint is not possible with vinyl wraps. Their primary purpose is to provide a distinct and customized look rather than replicate the existing color.
