Learn to vinyl wrap your automobile and achieve professional results!
Wrapping a vehicle in vinyl is a fairly modern concept. In the
mid-1990s, German taxis were wrapped to preserve paint. NASCAR followed
suit by wrapping its race cars as more primary sponsors came into the
sport, which forged a need for quick turnaround times because paint was
slow to dry. As vinyl costs decreased, the private sector began to
emulate these practices, which created the vinyl-wrapped automobile
option that is now available for anyone.
CarTech, in conjunction with Apex Customs, brings forth the most modern
publication on vinyl wrapping with How to Vinyl Wrap Cars, Trucks, &
Motorcycles, which is easy to follow and heavily illustrated. Outlined
in this book are the benefits of wrapping, the science of wrap, vinyl
graphics applications, and the tools of the trade.
The majority of this book features techniques to wrap a vehicle from
start to finish. Installation techniques, such as measuring, cutting,
applying heat, trimming, laying, tucking, and post-heat treatment are
covered through illustrations. Troubleshooting help is included for
bubbles, tears/rips, peeling, wrinkles, and cracking. Every component of
a vehicle from the grille to the rear bumper is wrapped and featured in
vivid detail.
Why spend tens of thousands of dollars on paint when you can change your
car's appearance year after year for a fraction of the cost? How to
Vinyl Wrap Cars, Trucks, & Motorcycles will have your ride looking
professionally wrapped and the talk of the show.
