"I tried the wrapping films!... Custom. I had a certain idea in my head and therefore...".
"So what?" you would have liked to reply to your friend but, in order not to disappoint him, you just nodded. Don't you know what the wrapping? We're going to explain it to you.
It is a procedure that consists in covering all or part of the surface of a car or motorcycle (but also of a mobile phone, a boat, a piece of furniture) with a thermoformable adhesive film. The film wrapping be removed at any time without a trace.
It's an original system to give your vehicle a new look. Now do you understand why your friend was on the turn?
A wrapping chosen from many proposals: yes, it is a good idea, but... a wrapping is a very good idea.
Film wrapping: the advantages of customizing cars and motorcycles
Those who decide to customize their car or motorcycle do so because the films wrapping offer numerous advantages:
- make your vehicle unique by improving its appearance according to your wishes;
- protect the body from signs of wear, weather, UV rays, debris, dirt, scratches, insects, pebbles and anything that can damage the integrity of the paint. These films resist abrasion and corrosion;
- allow colors (such as carbon) impossible to obtain with painting. There are brushed aluminum films, leather-like films, glossy or opaque effect, imifying colors, etc. The possibilities of high-definition digital printing laminated with transparent protective measures are practically endless;
- the costs are lower than those to be incurred for the classic painting (they vary depending on the size of the vehicle) and delivery times are also reduced (typically, 3 working days);
- if you think again, the films can be uninstalled by returning the car or motorcycle to its original color at any time;
- you could also combine car wrapping also darkening films on the glass for a discreet effect for the avoidant of curious and prying eyes (including those of thieves). Blackout films are synonymous with cabin privacy, acoustic comfort, protection from sun/UV rays and in case of crystal breakage;
- are ideal for those who love tuning (modified and super customized vehicles) and for advertising on the go.
Film wrapping: no side effects, indeed
The coating with the films can be performed both internally and externally.
Applying the wrapping does not have any side effects on the painting of your vehicle because it is 100% reversible and leaves no residue at the time of uninstallation.
The glue of these extremely durable high-tech film coatings is not as aggressive as in cheap films. In fact, it is able to preserve over time the surface on which it is applied. It keeps the color and characteristics of the paint unchanged as when you apply the protective film on the mobile phone screen to protect it from scratches. This is thanks to the extraordinary transparency and the minimum thickness.
If you decide to have the films disassembled, the car or motorcycle will keep its original features intact in terms of bodywork. As with the application, the removal time is short.
You need to know that the wrapping...
There are limits to the application of films wrapping.
Certain surfaces, due to their porosity, make application impossible.
In general, some parts of the bodywork for their shape cannot be coated with a single film: joints must be made to ensure maximum application life.
Speaking of maximum durability: it is advisable to wash the car or motorcycle by hand although the film is very resistant even to the rollers of the car washes. The point is that these rollers, over time, keep the traditional paint in line and risk damaging the films as well.
Also avoid washing with high temperature spears: for classic ones, just do not get too close to the surface.
Car to be protected and renovated, two wheels to be transformed into GP motorcycles
The films used for wrapping are of high quality, vinyl or polyurethane. Depending on the material, these films can last up to 8 years.
Those who opt for this coating do so for two reasons: to make their vehicle unique (protecting the bodywork) or to renew it by spending less to cover the bodywork that has a scratched or damaged paint.
The car and motorcycle can be covered completely or partially (bonnet, roof, mirrors, sides).
Changing the look of the bike with wrapping is the passion of many bikers. It is possible to transform the two wheels into a GP motorcycle or an SBK by wrapping every detail and completing the work by also decorating the helmet and the tank with the wrapping.
