Here Are Signs That It’s Time to Replace Your Vehicle Wrap

Branding and marketing strategies change, and vehicle wraps are subjected to the elements. Not even the toughest of wraps will last forever before needing replacement to keep them looking professional.
Knowing the signs that it’s time to replace your vehicle wrap ensures your vehicles — and your brand — stay at their best.

How to Repair Damaged Vehicle Wraps

Vehicle wraps are designed to last, but despite their durability, they can still begin to break down with exposure to extreme environmental or physical damage. Check your fleet regularly for these four signs of wear:

Fading or Discoloration

Constant exposure to sunlight is one of the primary reasons vehicle wraps fade. With time, UV rays degrade the pigments of the vinyl, fading colors and making the text unreadable. A new wrap brings back the vivid colors, making your message remain visible and clear.

Peeling, Cracking, or Lifting

Weathered wraps may start to peel or crack — more likely if the wrap was not applied correctly or if it faced extreme heat and moisture. This causes your vehicles to appear unrefined, and can hurt the confidence of possible customers.

Permanent Stains or Contaminants

Spills from your food prep, bird droppings or grime leave stains that can harm your brand’s identity. A stained shirt affects your overall look, a stained wrap takes away the beauty of your company. When eyes are drawn to stains, it’s time to get wraps professionally replaced.

Damage from an Accident

Dents, scratches and other impact damage can distort this wrap, leaving it look uneven or even torn. A partial wrap may be all that is needed to restore the vehicle’s surface, or it may need to be replaced completely, depending on the amount of damage.

Don’t let worn-out, stained, or faded wraps tarnish your business. If you’re noticing signs of aging on your wraps, contact GRJ Graphics vehicle wrap services to find the best custom solution for your needs. Get started today!
