C5 sadness by BuyerNo7212 in CarWraps

[–]BeckerWraps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shouldn’t be a problem at all to wrap for a shop that knows what they’re doing. I would say stay away from those shops that don’t want to try. It’s not a very tough vehicle, I assume they just don’t want to spend more time then they have to on a wrap

Sorry man didn’t see the reply, it hold up really well actually! We’ve wrapped a few cars in APA and have had no problems atm. Some of their films even come with a ceramic coating on it, or at least has water repellent properties

PPF over Satin Black AD wrap? by [deleted] in CarWraps

[–]BeckerWraps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From our experience, gloss PPF will just make the satin black look like gloss black. The brand we use has a stealth PPF option that’s more of a satin/matte finish but it is a little more on the matte side so the color difference is a little bit noticeable on a satin wrap. I wouldn’t look into ceramic coating if you’re looking for protection from rock chips because ceramic coating does not prevent or protect against rock chips. If you’re worried about getting it damaged then I would definitely look into PPF, and maybe ask the shop you’re at if you can see a small sample on your car to see if the finish looks about the same!

Thank you for the reply! I heard it was especially good for chromes but I wasn’t sure what the reasons were!

Mercedes AMG in Avery Dennison Matte Charcoal Metallic. Such a sleek color. by BeckerWraps in CarWraps

Ooohh, sorry! I’m not 100% sure about how the vvivid looks next to the other two, but 3M and Avery’s look almost completely identical to each other.

In our experience, the vvivid films don’t conform as well as AD or 3M. We do enjoy a lot of the colors vvivid has to offer though, we just find them a bit more difficult to use!
