PERFECT VEHICLE
WRAP
MADDOG'S AUTO STYLING

DESIGN
01
Car wrapping is not just like a business card
where printing press is doing the things. It
requires the right tools such as latest vehicle
templates to install a car wrap design that will
look perfect in your vehicle and also eye
catchy. Every angel, spaces, curves must be
taken into consideration and images should
not be distorted or blurred while designing a
car wrap.

MATERIAL
02
The combination of vinyl over laminate is extremely
important. Many shops use 3D Cast vinyl wrap over a
cheaper laminate to reduce the cost. The material you
choose will determine the longevity and quality of the
wrap. Cast laminate and Calendared laminate are two
popular types of laminate used for vehicle wrapping.

PRODUCTION
03
Printing
customized image on the vinyl is not
as simple as Hp or Brother printer. There are
a lot more tools needed in order to deliver a
car wrap with sharp and vibrant images. Each
manufacture’s design has its own unique code
specifically created for a particular vinyl. You
can't do it on your own unless you hire a
printing company.

04
This
PREPARATION
is the most time-consuming part of car wrapping.
In this step, the installer has to inspect the surface of
your car for cracks, trims, and dents. The car must be
washed before the installation process. For this, a
special solution is used first to wipe the car from any
wax residue and after that alcohol is used to make sure
that the solution has been removed. This is done to
ensure that the vinyl adhesive will stick to the
vehicle's surface.

INSTALLATION
05
Now
that you have come a long way and have the best
materials, design and perfectly prepared vehicle for the
installation, all your efforts can go in vain if an
inexperienced installer wraps the vehicle. The actual
installation of the wrap is a challenging and crucial task.
An installer must be able to trim and tuck the wrap to
achieve a flawless finish otherwise, the final outcome
may look terrible. Only an expert can do this job well.

06
The
POST INSTALLATION
post-installation process involves using a
heath-gun to go over the wrapped areas on curved
edges to make sure that these reach a certain
temperature as required. They need to reach 45°
to 50° Celsius for solid color wraps, while for print
media, it must be 85° to 90° Celsius.

07
To
FACILITY
move ahead with, there is a question where will
the actual installation take place? Indoor or
outdoor? There is no way to avoid large and small
dust particles away from the surface of your car if it
is being installed outdoor. If wrapping is done
indoors then the indoor facility must be super clean
and at the right temperature.
