Questions regarding vinyl wrapping.
I'm thinking about wrapping a few parts. Mainly mirrors, roof, maybe a few other things. I'm going to wrap carbon fiber.
Now, my question is... considering I live in Michigan with the horrendous snow and weather conditions, will it be okay? Will it last or will it peel soon? What if I get it professionally done? Thanks in advanced.

It's a pretty durable product but any extreme heat, cold, or moisture will probably damage it. Plenty of wrapped roofs out here in California but since we don't have the elements you do, haven't seen the results.

I had my roof wrapped in CF di-noc for 2 years and it held up fine.
I have my mirrors wrapped with Avery matte white vinyl and they are holding up ok. Matte colors in general, pick up dirt easily. If not cleaned right away, it stains. Especially matte white. But the di-noc should be fine. It's about double, maybe even more, the thickness of the avery matte white I used on my mirrors. You should be fine. The mirrors are a bit difficult to wrap. With di-noc it maybe harder. Maybe the 3M scotchprint maybe easier. I've heard of many people stating that scotchprint is easier to work with than di-noc. I did a dry install. It's harder but neccasary to do dry install. If you try to do a wet install, the vinyl will just slide when you try to heat it and pull it around the edges. |
