The common misconception is that some people rip off the wraps too hard, strip their paint, and blame the wrap but if you’re careful it shouldn’t happen
How is that a misconception if you didn’t prove that it was? All you said is if you’re careful it shouldn’t but never said that ripping it off won’t strip paint
@@brandonbertelsmeyer5713 yes he did learn to read lol. He said if you rip to hard I can cause paint to strip. If you are careful it should not happen. Also how is he to prove it. Link a video or somthing lol.
The fact that that vinyl is coming off so cleanly is a testament to this guy's wrapping skills. I used to work for a wrapping company, and I'd often prep vehicles to BE wrapped, sometimes removing old vinyl. I always had to either use a heat gun and razor, solvent and a razor, or an eraser wheel to get the vinyl off, and it would never come off in one piece
One has little to do with the other. Better ask yourself how long the foil is on the car. Leave it on for 7 years and then try it... if I foil it and tear it off again after a short time, it just doesn't prove anything. a good paint lasts longer than your car, you should remove a good film after every 5 years at the latest... Just expensive rubbish that messes up the paint if you are too stingy.
As a former wrap/graphics installer, the only time I'd find damage is from a very old sun damaged wrap. One over 8 - 10 years old. Never leave one on longer than the wrap's rated time.
@@bassfishing71 not usually, generally they'll last a pretty long time as long as you don't run them through rough car washes or leave them out in the sun very much.
this exactly happened to me when i bought a car with a black wrapped roof, it was oretty burnt by the sun and when i took off the wrap the paint looked 10/10 underneath but within 3 months the clear coat started to come off just where the black wrap was and the rest of the car paint is still in great shape
@@shawnhickman1412it protects the car from scratches and marks.. same as any other skin. Much safer to have than without, because it will get scratched up
The answer is yes… they do mess up paint. I completely unwrapped a mini Cooper for my car dealership. The wrap was about 4 years old and peeled 75% of the paint off of the bumpers and all the paint off the mirrors. Other than that it was fine
@@totallyhonestlyrealmikurmom he was heating the wrap up for easy removal. You can see that tiny piece in the corner is peeled off. They would be stretching the wrap if they were putting it on
@jantrojan8253 or bad paint from the factory? My bumpers were aftermarket and painted by a repair shop and the paint is all starting to peel too, starting with the clear.
@@beardeddragonheadquarters what if its for show ?😉 . And he said " Id have to check it out to be able to tell " which means he needs the exact model . All I did was was copy and pasted the model .

People who talk shit about your line of work are people who have probably never worked on a car in their life. Love what you do man! Keep up the great content!
Fact is that if you have a repainted panel that was done poorly (every body shop I've ever experienced in BC) paint will peel even when you are repositioning the wrap when installing, let alone when it comes off. But oem paint will not pull
Me in the garage when I hear "a red and blue gradient car was spotted going 46 mph above the speed limit and officers are doing their best to locate the driver."
I've got a Honda with chipping white paint. Thinking of doing spot touches on the paint and wrapping it to kinda maintain the paint job. I just don't know if that's a terrible idea for when it's time to change the wrap 😂
Everything depend on how long it has been there and what method the wrapper used. I have seen wraps that were pile on top of each other to make a logo. Those layers of wraps had been exposed to the sun so much that it was crumbling in pieces with some paint coming off to...😅
It depends also what brand you use and if you live in a place where it's mostly hot. I've had wrap that got baked in the sun over time and started discoloring and flaking, was a bitch to get all of it off. If you also have a cheap paint job, say goodbye to your paint.
@@slushie3061 because you could 1. Protect the paint for resale 2. Cheaply change the color of the car or print images onto your car for example for advertising 3. Just make it look cool
In the 90s they didn’t have the choice of vinyls, especially these calendar ones. And the adhesive was very stubborn. We had a few box trucks that peeled a little. Of course they were wooden bodies and the paint wasn’t on very well to begin with.
I would think it depends on the quality of the wrap, the highest quality wraps, I believe would protect the paint. Well, the low quality ones would leave a sticky film a residue on the paint and maybe finally scratch the paint so probably just down to the quality of the wrap.
Good wraps will almost protect your paint from microscopic scratches and little tiny ones and will also protect from uv rays entirely so if it’s a nice wrap you will have zero damage from the wrap itself to answer your question😁👍
Wraps doesn’t mess your paint but applicators may damage the paint during application and removal. If not it acts as another layer on top of the paint.
It actually protects your paint. Had a branch fall on mine and the unwrapped part was messed up but the wrapped part had no scratches, just the big dent. However if your car has shit paint the wrap will peel it
I’ve had the same one for about 8 months and it has scratched but I work the pipeline welding and while it wasn’t cheap I’d rather have to replace a wrap than have to pay for real paint and it doesn’t damage the paint
At the beginning I was like "yeah, depends on the quality of the wrap and most importantly the one applying it". After the video couldn't believe it, you're just amazing, you're too damn skilled, I can't stop smiling.
