The process is always the same and the steps are detailed below.
The first stage of the process is to choose a colour scheme or design. This involves looking through our colour swatches and our library of previously wrapped vehicles to choose a colour and or design to your taste. Here the only limits to your creation is your imagination. Of course we will walk you through the process and give advice based on our wealth of experience.
Once the details have been decided we complete a detailed check in sheet which is signed by the technician and the customer to ensure all details are correct and agreed.
Before starting any work on the wrap the vehicle undergoes a meticulous clean utilising specialist vinyl manufacturer approved surface preparation products. This is essential to ensure the area we are wrapping is clear of any foreign object that would be visible under the wrap material when applied to the vehicle.
The next step of the process is to carefully remove any body components such as grills, trims and wing mirrors where viable to do so. This is necessary to ensure the wrap can be applied as seamlessly as possible to enable the closest possible result to a respray.
Once the vehicle is in its wrapping bay the area is heated to ensure the wrap is applied at the optimum temperature set by the material manufacturer, this is a very important part of the process.
Next the material is cut to size a panel at a time. We never cut the material on the vehicle to ensure there is no damage to the bodywork. A small amount of trimming work may be required to ensure the perfect paint like finish covering the edges and recesses of the body. In some cases, it might be necessary to use a piecing technique if this is required we will tell you before the work is started.
Vinyl wrap is applied by removing the backing sheets from the material and exposing the specialist vinyl adhesive which is then placed on the panel being wrapped. The vinyl has some room for manoeuvring until pressure is applied once the position is perfect. The vinyl is then heated to a specific manufacturer set temperature at which point the material forms a bond with the vehicles bodywork.
The body components are then refitted to the vehicle and a quality control check is performed by the technician. The vehicle is then left overnight and the following morning a process called post heating is started. This is done at a manufacturer set temperature using a laser thermometer and this process ensures the longevity of the wrap.
A sign out sheet is then completed with the customer upon collection to ensure everyone is happy with the finished result.
As a professional company we adhere to the highest standards and our repeat customers are testament to the dedication and passion we apply to all of our work.
