Should I Wrap My Truck in Vinyl?

Do you own a powerful new truck that you’d like to protect from the harsh elements in New York? If so, then you should consider vinyl wrapping for the exterior. Here’s what that is, and why it works so well.

What is Vinyl Wrapping?

Perhaps you’ve heard of vinyl siding, the traditional material that many folks use to wrap their homes for extra protection from rain, sleet, snow, and wind. This is almost the same concept, but with your vehicle instead, and it doesn’t interfere with or obscure your truck’s awesome paint job.

Vinyl wrapping actually enhances your paint’s luster through the use of thin, clear, vinyl material, which protects against scratches, chipping, bug splats, and paint deterioration. This is one of the best ways to preserve your truck’s paint. It’s also cheaper to get vinyl wrapping than to repaint your entire truck.

Benefits of Using Vinyl Wrap on Your Truck

• With minimal upkeep, vinyl wrapping can last for up to five years. It deteriorates faster in hot/humid climates (though, so does vehicle paint).
• There are a plethora of color and design options. Many truck owners use it to add contrast colors with the rest of their vehicle (with partial wrapping).
• Vinyl wrap isn’t cheap, per se, but it’s a pretty affordable investment, depending on the size of your truck. Some drivers do this for as little as $500.
• There’s plenty of flexibility with this, too. You can either get a complete wrap or a partial one. Some truck owners focus more on the front side of the truck, near the grille, where they expect more trouble with bugs, rocks, and road debris.
• It’s also a convenient way to hide any mistakes or accidents resulting in dents or scratches (i.e., wear and tear from attaching bike equipment, or washing it with abrasive scrub pads/sponges).
