Things we re glad we did.
Vinyl wrap over rust.
But we couldn t find anything on vinyl d wrapping older cars on youtube so decided to make our own.
My vinyl wrap consultant told me i d have to repaint my van if i want a full vinyl wrap because the van is over 7 years old 2006 ford econoline e350.
Rust that has eaten through the paint has to be fixed first as the vinyl wrap will not stick to rust.
And while this may hide the damage for a moment it won t last.
We are not experts.
It is also recommended to fix any rusted areas that are bubbling up under the paint because it will look the same once the car is wrapped with vinyl film and won t stop it from continuing to rust.
Even if the rust is not advanced then by covering it with a vinyl wrap some moisture will be trapped inside and the rust will spread.
Without a secured adhesion the vinyl will peel or bubble leaving the rust visible again.
However the paint is not damaged.
From 25 to 1 316 usually ships in 1 to 2 days 2.
No peeling or rust except for a 2 inch spot above the driver window door where an object struck it on the freeway last week.
Other conditions preventing the perfect vinyl wrap rust isn t the only culprit to a great vinyl wrap job.
