can someone help with a vehicle wrap issue?
Hi Guys,
I have a few issues with a vehicle wrap which I will be doing over the easter break. The customer wants his windows, bumpers and rubber strips around the windows wrapped as in the pic.
If i wrap around these would there be potential problems in the future. there is also a 10cmx10cm area which has primer only. is it ok to wrap this?? Also with previous wraps I have used vinegar and meths to clean. Do people ever use isopropyl alcohol or is mths just fine??
cheers buddies!!!

I think Isopropyl is preferable, as meths tends to leave a powdery residue. If you wrap the rubber frames I would cut round them so they can expand and contract independently of the rest. The rubber is likely to move about with heat and cold.
Looking at the vehicle, I’d say you need to just point out the issues and get the customer to agree that the vehicle is a bit ropey and give no warranty due to the unsuitable state of the paintwork.

As Andy said!
Point out to the customer a wrap isn’t an alternative to a spray job.
Also, you can’t polish a terd…!!

Actually you can polish a turd:

As to the wrap thing I haven’t a clue.

I thought this was the first april fools joke when i first saw someone wanted that wrapped!, i imagined it in carbon fibre or pink until i read the question.
Sorry

stuart,
you will not get vinyl to stick to old window rubbers, no matter how you clean them

Ah, but if you fit over it it will hold the window in! 😀 😀

what about bumpers?? ok to wrap??
-
Aslong as its not high energy plastic like on basic models of vehicles.
You want the painted bumpers to be able to wrap them.
High energy plastic and rubber and no no’s.

Have you now done some training Stuart ??
Not sure what you have said to the customer but I wouldn’t be surprised if he is not satisfied with the end result. From the state of that van it looks like he is having it wrapped instead of a respray and as Matty has rightly pointed out a wrap is not an alternative to a spray job and judging by the state of some of that paintwork the wrap isn’t going to stay put anyway
