In today s post we ll go over some issues that can t be corrected with vinyl wraps and those parts of your car or truck that you re better off not trying to wrap.
Can you clear coat over printed wrap vinyl.
My husband and i repainted his motorcycle and put vinyl lettering over the existing lettering that was under the base coat.
Vinyl will stick to whatever you apply it to.
Spray one coat onto your vinyl.
Most cast vinyl used for vehicle wraps will only adhere well to paint that is in original oem or like new or very good quality condition.
We clear coated it and it has lasted several years.
However if the vinyl is ever removed it will take much of the failing clear coat with it leaving the paint in.
So today i m going to show you how to seal vinyl decals.
Allow that layer to dry completely before applying a second or third coat.
If you do decide to go with a clear coat we highly recommend testing the results on a separate piece of your vinyl wrap.
Here s my take on things.
Hold the can six to eight inches from the surface and use thin coats so the paint.
However i ve seen many do it with great success for nearly 20 years.
Even if you use a very strong or outdoor vinyl it can still come up or not last as long over time.
Yes you can apply a clear coat over it.
The question is how long.
Because the enamel one i looked at was made for 3m vinyl wrap material or will work for it well it said there was nothing else though because the enamel one i looked at was made for 3m vinyl wrap material or will work for it well it said there was nothing else though.
Primer has a close to microscopic texture to it and is intended to be painted over.
So no clear coat spray can go over it.
And i ve yet to see any major issues.
If you use them outside the outdoor weathering can take its toll too.
Spray two to three coats of clearcoat paint over the area that has been scuffed including the vinyl graphics waiting five minutes between each coat.
I d get your colour and clear coat on the car and let it cure.
