If you want to change the way your vehicle looks, car wrapping is an easy solution.
When you come to us for St Helens vehicle wrapping services, we design, manufacture, and apply a self-adhesive vinyl wrap to transform the vehicle’s appearance.
Here’s how the vehicle wrapping process works to apply the film over the paintwork:
· 1) Design
Before we can produce your custom printed graphics, our team will need accurate measurements of your vehicle to ensure the wrap will fit its contours precisely.
If your vehicle is in a suitable condition for wrapping, we can then work on your custom design. You’ll have a choice of colours and finishes, including matt or gloss.
You can also decide to wrap the whole car or van, or partially wrap areas like the bonnet, roof, or doors. Alternatively, you can use vinyl decals, which are like stickers.
Once you’ve settled on the design, we will print and laminate your vinyl film.
· 2) Preparation
To prepare for car wrapping in the St Helens area, you must thoroughly clean the vehicle to remove all dirt and grime and strip any existing sealant or wax coatings.
The vehicle should already be in good condition – with no dents, scratches, or bubbles in the existing paintwork. Surface issues or contaminants can ruin the finish.
Once cleaned, make sure the surfaces are dry and ready for vinyl film adhesion.
As professional installers of car livery, we have the tools to help prepare your car or van to be vinyl wrapped, ensuring the application will be as smooth as possible.
· 3) Application
After removing any obstacles that might get in the way of its application, like door handles or emblems, we’ll be ready to carefully peel and apply the vinyl film.
The sheets will be the appropriate size to wrap around the edges of each panel.
Once the wrapping has been correctly applied, we can then fire up the power tools to help mould the film as closely as possible to the car’s curved surfaces.
Using a heat gun to soften the vinyl makes it flexible enough to stretch, so that when it cools, it conforms precisely to the vehicle’s shape (with no damage to the car).
· 4) Finishing
When the adhesion has been fully activated, we can tuck the edges of the wrap neatly around gaps and fittings, then trim away any excess with a sharp blade.
We’ll then use our professional equipment to ensure the wrap is completely smooth, eliminating any air bubbles and firmly sealing the ends for a seamless fit.
The Vinyline team always takes pride in the quality of each job, so we pay meticulous attention to detail and match printed patterns perfectly for a flawless finish.
As experts in providing vehicle livery designs and installation, we’re experienced in this process. So, when you contact us for car wrapping, you’ll be in safe hands.
